A Love Story Waiting to Happen. Best friends Calyx and Tia get together finally, on one sucky night, And it was declared a mistake right away- which wasn't really. And so the plot thickens.. Distancing themselves from one another, to keep up a ruse, both get stupid and make a series of nightmarish mistakes in their lives. A narrative of erratic, stupid but endearing screw ups- by two people in love but terrified of fully surrendering themselves to each other. Are they prepared to take a leap of faith to be together or are they doomed to become star-crossed lovers for the rest of their lives for their cowardice? "You're equally beautiful. You're like the perfect girl next door in movies. Guys don't ogle at your butt, they look at your face. They don't ask for your number in bars, they are simply mesmerized by you. They don't tell their guy friends to check you out, because they think it'd be rude for them to stare and to hit on you. They don't fantasize about you, they think- if only they could have you. They don't think you're a bombshell, they think- you're the one to be wooed." Tia was speechless, her cheeks flushed. "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." -Anatole France
