At the beggining

Everybody taught Rico was Gay but in reality he is Straight.
Rico was Blinded of Love and didn't know what it is

Meanwhile Mike is popular with boys but he is unpopular with girls
And Like Rico he didn't know what love is

They were scared of love because they didn't know if its work or they will regret it if they have a relationship too early.

So Those 2 friends trying not to be too attracted to the girl they like or making moves with her

So they had a promise that they would not get a girlfriend until they reach 18 to enjoy their teenage life.

Could they keep the promise???
