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."

"Sana ma-realize mong nag-eexsit din ako sa mundong ito."

Because real messages are sometimes hidden.

Five years have passed and finally, Timi is back in the Philippines. Being away and studying culinary abroad, Timi thought she've finally moved on from every pain that she experienced on her teenage years. But the moment she've seen the billboard of Ice in EDSA---now a famous vocalist of the band Endless Miracle---parang nanumbalik lahat ng sakit na naramdaman niya noon. Now that Timi and Ice have crossed paths again, she vowed to herself na hinding hindi na siya magpapaloko dito. But will she be able to resist when after all this time, she've never stopped loving him?

Timi is used to having all the boys wrapped around her little fingers. Sanay na sanay na siyang nakukuha ang atensyon ng mga 'to. After all, she's both beauty and brains . But then she meet, Ice--the transfer student and the new vocalist of their school band, Endless Miracle. Talaga nga namang masyado nitong pinanindigan ang pangalan niya dahil sing lamig din ng yelo kung pakitunguhan niya si Timi. That hurts Timi's pride so she took him as a challenge. She will do everything to make Ice fall for her. Little did she know, she will get the biggest lesson of her life. Kung paglalaruan mo ang pag-ibig, hindi ikaw ang palaging panalo. Darating ang panahon na makakahanap ka ng katapat mo na magpapatumba sa lahat ng paniniwala mo.

The new semester opens with a bang that shocks the four Houses of QED University, an exclusive school for promising students of the science of deduction and art of detection. The Holmesian Harriet Harrison never thought that the day would come when their archnemesis Moriartian faction beat them in the House War. Her competitive attitude toward her class rival Morrie Moreno intensifies, each trying to outsmart and outmaneuver the other. But trouble does not stop there. The most charming Adlerian Aiden Alterra commits himself to a "secret mission" and starts pestering Harriet. The seemingly mute Wilhelmina Williams from the Watsonian faction also gets dragged along with the three in a string of mysterious incidents that will plague the university. Despite their dissenting motivations and unique personalities, the four will have no choice but to work together as a team toward one common goal and against one common enemy. The classes begin.
