Ella (Janella Salvador), an ordinary girl who has the ability to see ghosts, studies in a prestigious school with her exuberant best friend Faye (Sharlene San Pedro) and their classmate Adrian (Marlo Mortel), who harbors romantic feelings for her. Ella confesses to the two that she will not be able to attend their school retreat due to financial problems. Adrian offers to pay for her registration but Ella kindly rejects his offer. After a physical education class, Ella sees a ghost of a girl (Andrea Bersamin) in the gymnasium's locker room before being made fun off by three clique students;; Megan (Ingrid dela Paz), Jessie (Eliza Pineda) and Allison (Devon Seron). The next day, during a Chemistry class, Jacob (Jerome Ponce), a handsome student whom Megan has her eye on but likes Ella, was asked by her and her friends to give Ella a box of chocolates.
