Marika Joshi—full name Alessandra Tesoriero—didn’t exactly choose Section F. Somehow, by a cosmic twist of fate (or maybe just terrible timing), she ended up in the most notorious classroom of the school: 20 boys, zero rules, and enough chaos to make a tornado look like a gentle breeze. Section F was inspired by the Filipino novel Ang Mutya ng Section E, but don’t get it twisted—this isn’t a copy. The plot echoes the vibe: one girl against a sea of boys, the same classroom madness, the same heart-pounding tension—but the story? All hers. All new. And all absolutely ridiculous. Marika walks in like she belongs, but the boys have already started their own internal tournament of “Who Will Drive the Girl Crazy First.” She’s calm, mysterious, and somehow hilarious without even trying—but she’s also a magnet for chaos. Chairs get thrown. Snacks disappear. Pranks escalate. And yet…she survives. Somehow. Every day. She’s elegant when needed, sarcastic when provoked, and dangerous when underestimated. Some say she’s a genius, some say she’s a magician, and some quietly suspect she might be an undercover spy sent to tame the madness of Section F. But no one knows for sure—and Marika is very okay with that. Because in a classroom with 20 boys who refuse to behave like humans, she’s learned the first rule of survival: keep them guessing, and never, ever show weakness. And honestly? The boys are both terrified and fascinated. Every sly smile, every perfect comeback, every mysterious tilt of her head leaves them thinking, Who is this girl, and why does she make everything so…fun? Welcome to Section F. Welcome to chaos. Welcome to Book One of the Thorns & Ashes series...
