Cass Young

Casilda Vianca Reyes Young

At Saint Claire, there are students who are popular.

And then there are students whose presence quietly rearranges the atmosphere of a room.

Cass Young belongs to the second category.

Her full name is Casilda Vianca Reyes Young, though almost no one calls her that. To most students, she has always simply been Cass.

The name carries a certain calm weight inside Saint Claire’s halls. Teachers trust her. Teammates follow her. Younger students watch her with the kind of admiration they try not to make obvious.

Cass never seems to seek attention, but attention settles around her anyway.

Those who know her describe the same qualities again and again: composure, restraint, and a quiet steadiness that rarely cracks in public.

On the rugby field, she is known for discipline and precision. As captain of the women’s squad, Cass plays with a controlled intensity—fast tackles, clean form, and an instinctive awareness of the entire field.

Even senior players respect the way she carries herself during matches.

Off the field, Cass moves through Saint Claire with the same calm rhythm. She speaks thoughtfully, rarely raises her voice, and rarely reacts dramatically to anything.

Which is why the moments when she does lose composure become unforgettable.

Students still remember the Rugby Incident, when Cass accidentally injured Lucas Tan during a joint scrimmage and rushed to his side in visible panic—intertwining their fingers and whispering words that quickly became legend among LUCASS supporters.

Others remember the Saint Moritz video years later, when Alex Medina ran across a snowy plaza to greet her, kissed her twice in front of their friends, and triggered the moment that would ignite the ALCASS ship across Saint Claire.

Between those two incidents lies the quiet center of Cass Young’s story.

Because what makes Cass unusual is not simply the attention surrounding her.

It is the way she rarely seems to encourage it.

Cass listens more than she speaks. She laughs easily among close friends but keeps much of herself guarded from public view.

Even people who have known her for years often admit the same thing.

They are not entirely sure what Cass Young is thinking.

That mystery is part of the reason Saint Claire students find her difficult to categorize.

Some see her as dependable and steady.

Some believe she is far more complicated than she allows people to see.

And some—especially those who study the old videos and rumors circulating through school group chats—believe that the most important chapters of Cass Young’s story may not have happened yet.

Because if there is one thing everyone at Saint Claire agrees on, it is this:

The calmest people often carry the most unexpected storms.
