[edit] Story

Justin (Richard Gutierrez) and Cecille (Angel Locsin) play students from different social backgrounds and different high schools. Justin, a rich, smart, confident mestizo from a private school in Manila, and Cecille, a lovely but simple scholar from a rural public school.

One day Justin visits the province where Cecille lives but has not yet forgotten what Cecille and her friend, Frida (Tuesday Vargas) did to scare him and his cousin Ogie (Bearwin Meily). Justin plans a way to get revenge but instead of scaring Cecille, Cecille actually manages to scare Justin instead. Even if he failed, Justin still tries to get revenge, so one day, he went to Cecille's school and got her bike flat-tired. Because of that Cecille had to walk home in the rain.

The next day Justin is very happy about it but felt guilty because he found out that Cecille actually has a heart problem, so he tries to make it up with her. While he is trying to make up wih Cecille, Justin starts falling for her.

Against the wishes of his wealthy parents, Justin pursues Cecille, who also falls hard for him. Justin, however, is being forced to marry Donna (bianca King), the daughter of his parents' business partner. Knowing how much Justin loves Cecille, his parents send him to the USA to study, in a bid to separate him from the lower-class girl. Unable to accept the prospect of life without Cecille, Justin finds a way to take her with him without his parents knowing. All is great between Cecille & Justin in America. Their love for one another is fueled by the captivating, dream-like allure of San Francisco.

One day, however, the bubble bursts. Justin's mum, Adelle (Jean Garcia) finds out about the whole thing and goes straight to where Cecille lives. Cecille was very happy to see her but finds out that Justin lied to her. Cecille takes the first plane back to Manila, ignoring Justin's attempts to explain.

Years later, Justin flies home to win Cecille back, but by then, she's engaged to marry a former schoolmate, Andrew (James Blanco).

Will Justin win back Cecille's heart? Is there a chance that Justine and Cecille can rekindle the perfect love they had for each other in dreamy San Francisco?
