They happen to everyone, no? To some as heartbreak from a long time love, to some as losing someone in a car crash, or a plane crash or some sudden accident like that, to some as losing someone in a disease that the said person battled so far, like cancer. It's so funny, like one moment you are laughing with the one you love in your car and then there's a sudden collision, with a truck, or maybe a pole, and soon, that person isn't there with you anymore. We all deal with tragedies. in our very own way. Some heal with the time, some don't, and some put on a Façade.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
