So who will it be for this hopelessly unromantic girl? The brooding best friend? Or the young and unquestionably attractive substitute teacher? They say every person is worth the potential heartbreak of relationships not working out. That's why people still take that leap. But not me. Never been kissed, never had a boyfriend-I was pretty convinced by now that I was one of those mega-rare exceptions to the rule; the unlucky sap was just not worth the risk. And I'm totally fine with that. Romance and heartbreak? Not worth the hype in my book. Until life decided to get all snarky on me. "Fooled you, idiot! You'll get your love story...just not at all how you wanted it." Before I know it, I'm swept up in romantic turmoil more dramatic than anything my wildest playwright fantasies could dream up. Getting these very real, very adult feelings for the first time is bloomin' confusing. Lines will blur, tough choices will be made, and hearts will be deliciously broken. So who will it be for this once-hopelessly unromantic girl? My brooding best friend? Or my young substitute teacher?

Hindi tuloy malaman ni Sariah kung ano pa ba ang dapat niyang gawin magustuhan lamang ng taong gusto niya. She was a popular beauty, pinagkakaguluhan ng maraming lalaki, nagmula sa mayamang pamilya, she has it all, pero pagdating kay Conrad, isa lang siyang normal na babaeng pilit pinagsisiksikan ang sarili sa taong hindi naman siya gusto. Ngunit paano kung ang dating 'I like you' ay magbago? What if Sariah forgets about him, turning her young and sweet love into hatred? Will she continue to pursue her longest desire to win his heart? Or she will soon keep her distance, forget, and unlove him, her unrequited love?
