"I like you, Mr. President."
Iyan ang madalas bukambibig ni Sariah Loralie Calliope kay Conrad Archer-the most popular model student in their campus, superhero ng lahat, at higit sa lahat, ang kaniyang nag-iisang childhood crush at first love.
Since the first day she mets him, she already knew that he is her destiny. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang lahat mapansin lang ng binata. Pero palagi naman siyang nirereject nito. Hindi tuloy malaman ni Sariah kung ano pa ba ang dapat niyang gawin magustuhan lamang ng taong gusto niya.
She was a popular beauty, pinagkakaguluhan ng maraming lalaki, nagmula sa mayamang pamilya, she has it all, pero pagdating kay Conrad, isa lang siyang normal na babaeng pilit pinagsisiksikan ang sarili sa taong hindi naman siya gusto.
Ngunit paano kung ang dating 'I like you' ay magbago? What if Sariah forgets about him, turning her young and sweet love into hatred? Will she continue to pursue her longest desire to win his heart? Or she will soon keep her distance, forget, and unlove him, her unrequited love?
