A hopelessly hopeful romantic, a feisty but at times bashful nerd. Like a cliché of some sort, Jessa Ituralde finds herself crushing on her go-to guy, Jerome Macrohon. Conflicted with the clamantly intensifying, nagging feelings, she blurts a slurred confession one drunken night. The day after wasn't awkward as she thought it would be. Out of frustration, Jessa brings back the old-fashioned way of knowing if someone is worth a shot: Flames. Candles. Hope. The result? Friends. Is that all there is?

"Ever wonder what might have been, had you just stayed, had you just put your faith in us?" She is a paradox to be reckoned with, but only him can decipher her- or maybe not. Shirley and Jacque are highschool lovers, by the looks of it. But after countless times of false hopes and passivity, the end seems to be the easy way out. After the pseudo-break up and months of moping, they bumped into each other again. Will they pick up where they left off, or will everything go down the drain officially?
