It's ironic. Maria Clara ang pangalan niya pero kabilagtaran siya ng mga katangian ng isang Maria Clara. Si Maria Clara ay boyish, maikli ang buhok, palamura, barumbada, at sobrang astig (daw ayon sakanya). Maraming nag-aakala na tomboy siya. Siya mismo ay ganun ang tingin sa sarili noon, bago niya nakilala si Bryan. Si Bryan ay cold, masungit, suplado, tahimik, loner, weird, pero gwapo at matalino. Na-love at first sight ata si Maria. Pero hindi ganoon si Bryan sa kanya. Hindi kagusto-gusto si Maria sa paningin ni Bryan. Kaya naman wala nang ibang naisip si Maria na gawin kundi ligawan si Bryan. Ano pa bang gagawin mo para magustuhan ka ng taong gusto mo, diba? Edi ayon, niligawan niya. Pero, mula nang niligawan niya si Bryan, nagkandaleche leche ang buhay niya. Susuko ba siya? Makukuha niya ba ang matamis na oo ni Bryan? Magbabago ba si Maria? Magiging kagusto-gusto na ba siya kay Bryan? (Cover by Yumirah)
