Premise

[edit]
  • Book 1

It all started with the four friends Yuan (John Prats), Borj (Stefano Mori), Roni (Camille Prats), and Jelai (Angelica Panganiban) who live in one neighborhood together. Until they were joined by these two boys, Jun-Jun (Carlo Aquino) and Tonsy (Miko Samson) who just moved in the same village as the other four. They began to be friends and hang-out together. They went through a lot of problems together, from Borj and Tonsy fighting over Roni because they both like her, for Jelai and Jun-Jun, they began to be best friends as days pass. Roni likes Borj but her brother, Yuan was not happy about it. Roni and Borj felt mutual but a lot of things happened that made them jealous, and mad of each other. Their parents also got along with each other and trust their kids to hang-out and look for each other. They did lots of things together, helping out each other even though they fought sometimes and got some misunderstandings but they still stick together. Surely, they are one small barkada that we will never forget.

Borj is jealous to Roni's first crush and childhood friend Basti who happens to become his frenemy to win Roni's heart. Yuan happens to meet Missy in billiard and fall in love with her, Yuan's "miracle Tonsy" was accused of courting Missy on Yuan's back. So Yuan and Tonsy didn't talk for a while but later on Yuan finally realized that nothing is going on between the two. Yuan was always jealous of Tonsy going to Missy's house. Jun-Jun met Epoy who helped him get his first job. Jun-Jun asked Epoy that if he needed any help, he's willing to help out. Epoy asked him if he can hook him up with Jelai, which made Jun-Jun jumped because at that time Jelai and him were together. They kept it secret to Epoy until he found out and backed away.

Then Borj came in the picture and what Bea and Borj didn't know is that they were both the kids who lit the candle in the church when they were young.
