Edita Evangelista Romulo (18) is Lia’s good friend and opting for university in the U.K. Despite her parents being overbearing on the family, it’s actually her part-time job that’s stressing her out the most. She works part-time at a video game shop and although gaming is her passion, her supervisor is rude and intimidating to her and the other employees. Edita is very stressed out but is a great employee, although constantly having to hold back on her concerns in order to please her supervisor and hopes this doesn’t happen to Lia when she works at a thrift shop. She is only having this job until she graduates and goes off to college and she needs the money, so she is reluctantly staying for the time being. She is Maya’s younger sister and doesn’t want to disappoint her parents so she won’t quit her job and sometimes enjoys being there just to avoid family drama. She’s also secretly close with their older brother and always lets him know she still supports him and that he’s not a “failure”.
Edita is happily single and suspects Zariyah may be falling for Lia but being friends with Zariyah, Edita won’t say anything as it is not her place. Like Lia, Edita is also great friends with students 1-2 years younger than her as well and loves Lia’s memory pamphlets for the younger students. Edita is grateful Lia will plan to visit her when she goes to the U.K. and loves Lia’s dependability of always being there for her friends. She is very excited to graduate and is hoping Pepper will be valedictorian of their graduating class, but unlike most of the students in her grade, she’s not super college-obsessed. Sure, she’s traveling to the U.K. for college but she’s also simply hanging on to who she is as a high school student and really just wants school to end for summer — being stress-free is what she always dreams of.
