Allison Monroe, a passionate college student of a Pre-Law course in University of the Philippines Diliman, come to believe that destiny no longer exists in our world. On the other hand, a happy-go-lucky guy which happened to be her classmate in college was amused by her beauty and brains. They started in not-a-very-good condition, because Allison hated Ryan the first time she have met him. It was love at first fight. As time passes by, the two has been playing with destiny, and started to fall for each other. But, it was not a good fairytale story to tell. Things has been complicated with the two of them, and the truth has started to unravel. There was familiarity in their warmth like they had met when they were younger. It's like they had loved each other at a different moment. At a different world. "Nothing changed. You were still the jerk I once knew, Jace," Allison uttered with full of sarcasticity. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't help but to laugh at herself for letting him fool her again. "I have no intention of fooling nor hurting you, I swear. Hear me out this time, Allison, please?" Ryan pleaded. "There's no point of hearing your stupid explanations, Ryan. You know I only seek for truth, and now that I know the truth, I can't let myself be fooled by you again." She turned her back at him. She never imagined that they could be played by Cupid twice. Love isn't all about happy endings. Sometimes, it could be tragic. But it may be tragically beautiful. And while Allison is slowly walking away from the place where Ryan is standing, she have thought of something she could do to save herself this time. She would do the first move to avoid pain. She would do the only thing she could do to not be hurt by the same guy again. She'd leave for good. On Allison's seat, she was watching the plane to take its flight to her Aunt's neighborhood, but she have mumbled last two words, "Fuck love."

Everyone perceived her as a good girl. An overly obedient student who never actually says even a single word. They often tell her she's no better than those who are mute. She, as usual, just stays silent. No one really knows what's going on in her mind despite being so popular; and popular by means of being a loser and a loner. She's only known for being a good girl. Never was the popular girl nor the nerd, not even by her talents: she writes, she excels in Mathematics, she's artistic and poetic, she's a consistent achiever, she's a jack of all trades yet all of that was disregarded. In the end, she always comes back to what she's known for - just a good girl. And as time passes by, she grows tired of all of that. She grows tired of the life that she has. People saw her as an angel in human form, and they also made use of her kindness to so great extent because they learned she was such a good girl. That she can't harm them, and she'll never attempt harming them because she can't prove them wrong. She's given so much honour that it became a curse. Everybody wanted to be good, at least, they wanted to be perceived as good that it would give them such power to control this society that is full of evil. But not all can do that. Not everyone who desires to be good is capable of truly doing good. She never wanted to be good. In fact, she wanted to return what the world had given her, all the cruelty she grew strong. People state that one has provided something because of one reason, which she never knew the answer. The only thing she knew was the fact that she was not all that, and she knew she was not just that... because her being all so good girl - it's all facade.
