There's this girl named "Yumika Raine Santiago" and a guy named "Miguel Vince Jackson." Yumika is also known as 'Mika', for short, and Miguel as 'Miggy'.
Si mika ay isang estudyante sa isang pribadong paaralan na kilala sa tawag na "Rivero School" na talaga namang kilalang kilala sa lahat ng teenagers, maging sa matatanda, dahil sa ganda at ayos ng paaralan na ito. Marami ring estudyante ang gusto mag-aral sa paaralang ito marahil hindi lamang magaling magturo ang mga guro ngunit gwapo't naggagandahan rin.
Si Miggy naman ay isang guro, sa paaralang pinag-aaralan ni mika, at estudyante niya rin ito.
Si Mika ay matangkad at balingkinitang babae, hindi siya ganung kaputi at kakinis, ngunit mala-anghel ang itsura nito, at napaka-masiyahing tao, at the same time, moody. Si taglay niyang ganda at kasimplehan ay may iilan ilang lalaki sa paaralan ang palihim na nabibighani at humahanga sakaniya.
Si Mika rin ay isang NBSB o No Boyfriend Since Birth, strikto kasi ang mga magulang nito. Ngunit ganun pa man ay may mga nagugustuhan din naman siyang lalaki, ngunit hindi ganoon kalala dahil, hanggang crush lamang talaga ang nararamdaman niya.
Hanggang sa magbago ang lahat ng ito...
Nang makilala niya ang isang taong magpapabago ng buhay niya, ang buhay na dati'y wala masyadong saya ay pinunan ng taong nakilala niya. Ginawa niya itong inspirasyon pa lalo sa pag-aaral, sa halip na distraksyon.
Tama nga ba ang bagay na ito? O sadyang tadhana lang ang mapagbiro, at sa lahat ng magugustuhan ni mika ay bakit siya pa?
At dito na pumapasok ang kaniyang motto in life na... "Ang kailangan mo lang ay huwag masyadong umasa nang hindi masaktan." at "Huwag masyadong magpakalunod, nang sa huli ay hindi mapahirapan ang sarili na muli ay maka-ahon pa."

I gulped as his hand cupped my jaw, "Tell me River. Are you scared of me?" He asked and I looked up at his eyes.
I didn't have to ponder over the matter long.
"I don't know." I said softly.
Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do."
*********
Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together.
River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most.
Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be.
But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?
