In a province where nothing interesting ever happens, no one hears the pleas of a teenager's heart that is slowly crumbling to pieces.  
  
  Jiro Castaneda's life started to go downhill when she became an outcast in her senior year. The school which used to be her escape from her abusive household became another prison she couldn't escape from. Drinking and smoking became her coping mechanism as the once timid girl now goes to class drunk and smokes without any fear for her future. 
  
  And that's exactly the type of people that Dani Burzuelo despises. Dani is also fed up with his life. He had enough of his controlling father and his rebellious sister. For once, he just wants to live his life the way he wants. That's why Jiro's behavior which reminds him of his sister made him dislike her. 
  
  When their lives start to get entangled, they will soon learn that they're just the same wounded souls hiding behind their own facades. They just have different ways to mask their pain. Set in an idle town in the middle of their adolescence medley, this is the story of young broken kids who are yearning for their own place in this world-a home where they truly belong.

Engineering students Pfifer and Ivan know that what they have is something special. Without a proper label between them plus an ugly twist of fate, can they manage to be together in the end--or will they remain as each other's TOTGA and nothing more? *** May feelings na laging nandiyan, nakaabang kung kailan magpapapansin. Nakaabang kung kailan ako titisurin sa mga pamilyar na kanta, lugar, at salita. Magpapaalala sa isang mukha na hindi ko naman gano'n kakabisado pero pamilyar. Magpapaalala sa mga dating pakiramdam. Malalaman mo raw kung sino ang The One That Got Away mo kapag narinig mo 'yong salita at nakaalala ka ng iisang tao lang; nakatisod ka ng mga dating pakiramdam; nangulila ka sa mga nakaraang saya; nakaalala ka ng mga pamilyar na sakit. Sabi, time heals wounds at distance makes one forget. Bakit parang hindi naman effective? Bitbit ko pa rin lahat ng what if. Hindi pa rin ako makatakas sa maraming sana. Ako ba ang bumitiw o siya? Tapos na ba kami talaga? Ang sarap magtanong kaso...wala nga palang kami noon. Disclaimer: This story is written in Taglish.
