Summary Plot (S1-S3) Orig.
The jock, who's not so lucky with the girls, hangs out with the shrewd and “alaskador” Zap who's attracted the attention of showbiz fanatic Maffi. Maffi's obsession with all things showbiz extends her friendship with “artistahin” fashionista Alex.
The certified rich gal in the group though is best friends with Trish the calorie-counting fashion-obsessed middle class girl. Mike loves to count too, well his money that is, up to the last centavo. His many secrets can be compared to the very mysterious Bangs who's discreetly into Norman.
One of the most distinctive episodes is when they drop a book and when they bend down to pick it up, someone else picks it up too. The people who picked up the book start dating, introducing Lea Michaela A. Cabili and Mikee Gabriel.
