Isang malamig na umaga ng Setyembre sa St. Augustine University, dumating si Alicia Leal Santos sa campus na may kasamang kakaibang kilig. Nasa huling taon na siya at sabik sa mga bagong hamon at karanasan na naghihintay sa kanya. Hindi pa niya alam, may isang hindi inaasahang pangyayari sa semestreng ito - isang bagong propesor na babago sa lahat. Nasa loob ng silid-aralan, si Alicia ay nag-aabang nang may pagka-usisa habang hinihintay ang kanyang bagong guro. Biglang bumukas ang pinto, at pumasok si Rina Teresa Dela Cruz. Parang biglang nagliwanag ang buong silid. Ang pagpasok ni Rina ay puno ng mainit na ngiti at eleganteng kumpiyansa na agad na nakakuha ng atensyon ni Alicia. Nang magsimulang magsalita si Rina, parang may sumiklab sa damdamin ni Alicia, bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya sa tuwing tinitingnan niya ang kahanga-hangang babaeng ito. Si Rina naman ay agad napansin ang masiglang estudyante na nakaupo sa unahan. Ang pokus na tingin ni Alicia, ang masigasig na postura, at ang paraan ng kanyang pagningning sa bawat salita ni Rina, ay bumuhay ng kakaibang damdamin sa loob niya. Sa likod ng kanyang propesyonal na anyo, may nararamdaman si Rina na hindi niya inaasahan - isang kakaibang atraksiyon kay Alicia na hindi niya madaling matakasan. Habang lumilipas ang mga linggo, unti-unting nagbabago ang kanilang ugnayan. Ang dati'y pormal nilang pakikitungo ay unti-unting nagiging mas malapit.
