SYNOPSIS
Nakasanayan na ni Jersey ang umastang lalaki at siga. Pinalaki kasi siya mag-isa ng kanyang ama matapos maghiwalay ng kanyang ina. Idagdag pa na may apat siyang lalaking mga kaibigan at isa rito ay ang best friend niya ng labindalawang taon na si Miko.
Fourth year highschool na sila, huling taon sa sekondarya bago tumapak sa kolehiyo. Ang mga babaeng kaklase ni Jersey ay abala na sa pag-aaral kung paano mag-apply ng lipstick at kilay ngunit heto siya, maski pagsara ng binti sa pag-upo ay hindi magawa.
Wala sakanya ang ganitong kilos. Parang siga at lalaki? Hindi nagsusuklay maski magshampoo? Malalaking T-shirt at basketball na shorts? Wala siyang pake.
Ngunit nang dumating ang mga college students sa Manuela National Highschool para i-promote ang mga university nila, nakilala ni Jersey si Andrei, isang freshman sa South Mill University, habang tumatakas siya para magcutting classes.
Sa isang iglap, gusto nang subukan ni Jersey ang maging babae.
Used to seeing Jersey like a boy, her best friend, Miko, will be suspicious about her sudden change. But what would he do if he finally saw that his best friend is, in fact, a girl? How will he react if he knew that Jersey is already having a crush and very much decided to chase him?
