Elevators. Airplanes. Palaman ng Sandwich. Yung feeling na papunta ka pa lang at excited ka pa lang sa pupuntahan mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa lang yung birthday mo. Yung feeling na palapit pa ang isa pang espesyal na araw. Yung feeling na ilang oras na lang ay pasko na. Yung feeling na tatlong araw na lang simula na ulit ng pasukan. Yung feeling na nasa gitna ka pa lang at di ka pa nakakarating. Yung feeling na malapit na pero hindi pa. Yun ang laging gusto ko. Yung nasa gitna pa lang. Yung nasa gitna ka ng dalawang bagay. Gitna ng isang building. Gitna ng langit at lupa. Gitna ng dalawang matatabang tinapay. Gitna ng byahe papuntang disneyland. Mas gusto ko yung feeling tuwing nagbabyahe kesa doon sa nakarating ka na. Mas gusto ko yung feeling na may inaantay ka kesa doon sa nandyan na. I always like the things in between. "You only like things in between, Coreen. You only like the chase... You only want me chasing after you. You don't want to decide... Pero pakiusap naman, magdesisyon ka na, kasi tao rin naman ako, nasasaktan. And you? I don't think nararamdaman mo yung sakit na nararamdaman ko... You are just too heartless."

Michelle Adams is nowhere near popular, and she prefers it that way. She has her best friend Isaac, her burning desire to get into a good college, and a drama-free life just the way she likes it. Until she is inconveniently persuaded by Isaac to go to a dumb high school party before they graduate, where she is instantly thrown into a classic game of spin the bottle with some of her school's most elite. Except there's no kissing involved in this version - not yet at least. Instead, when she spins the bottle and it lands on Cactus Valley High School's biggest heartthrob, she has to agree to date him for one month. So Michelle is tossed into the spotlight and forced to adapt to a new lifestyle, and it all starts with her new fake boyfriend, Chase Matthews. * REWRITTEN * [Written & Completed - July 2018] [Fully Rewritten - 2023] awards & recognition: - #1 in drama - 05/19/2021 - #1 in lose - 08/20/2021 - #1 in kissing - 03/14/2022 - #2 in game - 11/07/2021 - #4 in teen - 05/23/2021
