"Hey! That's my puppy!"
"Oh honey, you wish."
Mira Benjaminson was never the one to have luck on her side. All she wants to do is work, and torture herself every day, with multiple jobs. Not to mention, with her financial problems at school, work, and just about everything, she's ready to dig her own grave. So to possibly stop her "bad luck", she decides to get a furry legged friend, to ease her stress, and to have some company. But when some spoilt, snooty aristocrat-like man goes for her ideal dog, she can't help but think that she should've just stayed home.
Charles Chevalier seems to always have a handful of luck with him. With broad shoulders, and a strong build, with a simply unforgettable face, he is known everywhere. The single heir to his parents' business, with an endless amount of fortune, his life couldn't be better. Charming, polite, and more sophisticated than the queen of England herself, Charles Chevalier, has it all. That is, what the public thinks. He's sick of being caught up with these expectations everywhere, he's tired of being a flawless knight. He just wants to have fun again, and go back to when his parents weren't always working machines like they are today. So when his girlfriend says she wants a puppy, he can't help but be even more bummed out, that she's only using him for his green papers. And when some eccentric, funky looking hobo girl decides to claim his pick, he can't help but put his foot down on it.
So, a spoilt, snooty aristocrat-like man, an eccentric, funky looking hobo girl, and a puppy. What kind of combination is that? Well, definitely not your average mix, but maybe you can expect something a little different for once. Maybe, it might even change their lives, for once.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
