Nine people.
One prank.
One too many secrets and one too many lies.
Logan Buena and Aurora Faeldin have been best friends ever since they were eight and have been inseparable since day one. Together, they are part of a clique, a groupie, a gang, a squad-or whatever it is high schoolers want to call a bunch of kids hanging out a lot together whether inside or outside school premises.
This is high school where people think they are invincible and that they are permitted to do everything and anything even without adult supervision or parental consent. Who cares about a bunch of boring adults who keep telling you to color within the lines, think inside the box, and cut your minds into one singular piece of shape anyway?
So they go against the rules-always-because nothing else in this world can be more thrilling than doing something wrong in secrecy. They live by the fear, but at the same time, excitement of the constant possibility of getting caught. And the one time they decide to take a break from the extreme, they walk to the edge of what is once the great and legendary camaraderie they've always unknowingly treasured.
The Prank: Find a candidate girlfriend for Logan.
Their Goal: Get Aurora to realize she has been in love with Logan all this time before high school ends.
They think it's one simple child's play. But what they once thought was a harmless prank lead to the death of the none too innocent.
They are called The Lucky Nine and together, they've committed a mortal sin.

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.
