From elementary, to middle school, to high school. Same grade and always in the same class. Almost as if they're meant to never be too far apart...
From childhood friends, to souls drawn apart. In other words, unfinished business.
She's always liked him. He's always wanted not to love her.
After a scheme gone wrong, the two are no longer connected.
Who would've thought so much chaos could take place in one night? Or rather days...

5 years, 6 months, 4,380 hours, 262,800 minutes, and 15,768,017.3 seconds later...
Somehow they find their way back to each other. Only, neither of them are the same as they once were.
One filled with anger and hatred. Some towards his desire for her, even more for himself. The other trying to figure out what she wants with her life. Trying to find closure in faces that feel an ounce of familiarity.
So close, yet so far apart. Only thing holding them together is the fact they're both attending the same university. That and their parents trying to makes things right between the two.
The only thing getting in the way, is them.
