[Book 1 of 3] Erica could have said no when her parents asked her to transfer schools for her senior year. But she said nothing. She could have ignored Derick Lusterio and his holier-than-thou attitude. But she noticed him instead. She could have walked away when he shared a side of him that no one else knew about. But still, she stayed. Nag-iiba ang takbo ng tadhana sa bawat desisyong ginagawa. Para walang masaktan, itinatago ni Erica ang tunay na nararamdaman. But the lies can only bring a person far enough. The truth will always prevail when it comes to two hearts yearning for love.
