In 7th grade, Teru met Jessica, they started hanging out, they liked each other, they started dating by the end of the 1st quarter, and yk Jessica was all like icky and she made Teru like.... yk.

This sort of thing became common, she'd hit him and be all gross with him until eventually Carmen found out and stood up for Teru. Every time Jessica was angry or something at Teru, Carmen would step between them as soon as he saw, in spite of Teru's denial of needing him to help.

In the middle of their 8th grade year, Carmen and Teru had a big sit down and Carmen had to talk some sense into him, which finally convinced Teru to break up with Jessica. He did, and she stopped bothering him in public. She'd still text Teru occasionally, but Carmen forced Teru to block her. Teru admitted himself to the psych ward, where he met Adrian. They became friends and exchaged contacts, occasionally hanging out after they were discharged. Then came their Freshman year of high school..

A new student came in, his name is Richie, Teru thinks he's cute and they become friends. Carmen knows about Teru's crush on Richie, and Teru was slowly building up the courage to ask him out. Until one day, Richie mentions that he's dating someone, which happens to be Jessica's older brother, Max. Richie didn't know of Teru's past with that family, and it wasn't something Teru was open to sharing. The only person who really knew about it was Carmen.

Teru invited Richie and Carmen to his 16th birthday, and told them they can bring friends if he knows them. Richie brought Max and Jessica. Carmen told Teru that if anything happened between him and Jessica, let him know immediately, and they'll figure out what to do from there.

Sure enough, Jessica waited until Carmen was downstairs getting food to drag Teru into his room alone. Teru was terrified, she'd knocked him down and was towering over him, he was vulnerable. She ended up pressuring and guilt-tripping him into getting back together with her. Carmen only found out about it after 3 weeks, coming back from a Colombia trip.

Jessica was overbearing, spreading rumors to prevent Teru from making new friends and stealing all of his time. She'd keep Carmen from getting close.

When Richie and Max were spending too much time together, Jessica would drag Richie over to Teru's house so she could hang out with her brother. One of these times, Richie opened up to Teru about feeling like Max was hiding something.

A week or so later, Carmen dragged Teru away towards the courtyard, concerned with a possible altercation between Richie and Max. The two were breaking up, Max was cheating on Richie. The two offered him comfort and support until the next school break, when Carmen went to visit family again in Colombia.

Jessica, once again, took advantage of Teru, forcing herself onto him. Teru pieced together the clues. Jessica had planned it all. Carmen was in colombia, Richie was handling his breakup, Teru had no one to call for help.

Teru skipped school until Carmen came back, unable to face Jessica alone. He told her that he was sick. As soon as Carmen came back, Teru told him everything. How she threatened to do it again if Teru tried to break up with her or tell someone.

Teru knew he had to tell his parents, and Carmen went with him. His parents promptly took his side, talking to Jessica's parents, filing a restraining order against her, and making efforts to move to a new house for Teru's safety.

Finally, Teru was free from her. His Sophomore year was calm for the first time in years, no drama, no eggshells to tiptoe around. He spent his time studying and going out with Carmen and Richie, but unfortunately lost contact with Adrian, who had been going back and forth from the hospital to the psych ward often from overdosage attempts. In his Junior year, Teru got asked out by Richie, to which Teru accepted, and the two have been dating since.

Teru, Richie, and Carmen all graduated together as class of 2024, and are now enrolled in college. Teru studies Psychology, Richie studies Art, and Carmen studies Fashion, and Adrian studies biomedicine.
