Premise

*Book 1
It all started with the four friends Roni (Camille Prats), Yuan (John Prats), Jelai (Angelica Panganiban), and Borj (Stefano Mori) 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.
