Maricel Mendez never had a good record of keeping track of what she has. When she entered her Senior years in High School she never really had any big issues. Always pressing forward. But when she's at the brink of losing her first love and someone close to her. She's at a lost. And potentially risks of losing everything. Making her recent epiphany in the end of her High School much more painful.

Why is it, that it's only in the end that we realize that one of the most precious things we had has always been close. 

Will she ever come close to the thing that's already been moved on so far?
