They share similar pasts, but that's as far as they have something in common.

Fifteen-year-old Jennelle believes that keeping everyone at arm's length is the best way to avoid getting hurt, while Val loves to keep everyone close in order not to get hurt.

After her parents die in an accident, Jennelle is passed around by her relatives. Hindi siya tumatagal ng isang taon sa piling ng mga kamag-anak bago siya itulak ng mga ito patungo sa iba. At fifteen, nalibot na yata niya lahat ng isla sa Pilipinas. Not that she cares, because she has learned from the moment she loses her parents that not getting too involved with anyone will keep her from getting hurt. Subalit nagbago ang lahat ng iyon nang makilala niya si Valentine, ang adopted son ng distant relative niya kung saan siya sunod na titira. Like her, Valentine has been orphaned at a young age, but unlike her, Valentine loves to keep everyone close-except her. And as if sharing a home wasn't enough of a torture, they would also be attending the same school.
