GOOD MORNING XAVIER HIGH WARRIORS!!
TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY!
THIS IS YOUR DJ ZARI.
GRADUATION IS NEAR, GUYS! HOW ARE WE DOING?
Yes, please. I just really want to graduate.
Candice, just hang on
and you’ll be out here soon.
Goodbye, Xavier High!
Goodbye to all the vain and pretentious people!
Bullies and jerks, assuming boys and girls,
I’m ready to start a new life…
Australia, here I come!
Good morning Xavier Warriors.
This is Principal Macalintal with a very important announcement.
It has come to the school boards’ attention that
someone leaked the answer sheet to this year’s
Xavier University
entrance examination online.
We are now investigating.
Students involved will be expelled.
Oh my god, who uploaded it?
Whoever that is,
they won’t graduate for sure.
It will be an automatic expulsion.
There’s another announcement! Shh!
Candice Gonzales.
Please come to my office immediately.
OH MY GOD. Expulsion?
WHY ME? I won’t be able to graduate?
What will I do? What about Papa?
What about Australia? Looord!
Hey, Candice, why are you in a hurry?
Charles, Troy, Marky, Jeydon.
Please, not now, I need to go to the chapel.
Candice— hey, wait!
What’s happening with Candice?
Why am I even asking
how I ended up in this situation?
Everything was ruined when
these four bad boys entered my life!
Lord, help me!
Just so you know,
I never wanted this.
My life used to be so simple,
you’ll see if we rewind it to just one month ago!
DJ Zari is here, she will help me
tell you about the story of…
THE FOUR BAD BOYS AND ME
LISTEN TO LOVE PRESENTS: 
THE FOUR BAD BOYS AND ME
Candice! You’re late!
FINALLY, CANDICE IS AWAKE!
OOPS, HOW RUDE OF ME, LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.
SORRY! DON’T YOU REMEMBER? I’M YOUR STUDENT DJ ZARI?
AND JUST LIKE YOU,
I ALSO FOLLOW CANDICE GONZALES’ LIFE.
THE RESIDENT LONER GIRL OF XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL.
CANDICE;
HER NAME SOUNDS LIKE THE PLURAL OF CANDY,
BUT SHE’S NOT SWEET AT ALL.
AND LOOK, SO EARLY IN THE MORNING
AND SHE ALREADY HAS AN RBF.
AS IN, RESTING BITCH FACE.
I HOPE YOU COMB YOUR HAIR, TOO, GIRL.
THIS IS NOT A HORROR FILM, OKAY?
Candice! You’re sleepwalking!
What time did you sleep last night?
You look like you’re drowning in school projects!
So not like your brother.
Oh, breakfast is ready! Everything is fresh!
A newly-opened can of sardines!
Mackerel! Meat loaf!
And, special surprise. Pork and beans!
MEET THE SUPER ENERGETIC,
SUPER CARING
BUT BORDERING ON
OVER DRAMATIC MOTHER OF CANDICE, MOMMY CANDY.
IT’S ONLY BREAKFAST,
BUT SHE GETS AN A FOR A-FFORT
WHEN IT COMES TO OPENING CANS!
I’ll eat at school. Bye.
Do you want to eat it for lunch? I’ll put it in a -
- Tupperware
....looks like I have to finish all of this again.
Why did I open so many cans?
Good Morning, Ma’am Tina.
Hi Candice! Looks like I really good morning
because I can feel that
you’ll help me with the papers, right?
Of course, Ma’am Tina! I’ll take care of it!
THE FACULTY ROOM IS WHERE
CANDICE REGULARLY HANGS OUT
BECAUSE SHE ORGANIZES THE STUDENT PAPERS EVERYDAY.
A TEACHER’S PET...YOU SEE
SHE’S THE MOST TRUSTED TEACHER’S AIDE
IN THE WHOLE HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
I’m so lucky that I became your adviser.
It seems like you’ve helped me
more than I’ve helped you.
But you’ll graduate high school soon.
What’s your plan?
Where will you go to college?
Are you going to Xavier University?
The entrance exam is coming soon.
Ahh, I’ll check it out.
I’m sure you’ll be a scholar with your high grades.
Ms. Tina! The four bad boys of Section 11
pulled a prank again!
They had put glue on all 
the door knobs in the third floor!
Glue? Oh, that’s actually
an improvement from the last time.
True, it’s good that they're over 
thumbtacks on the toilet seats...
You know I’ve been pooping for two weeks
in a bird position because of the trauma...
That’s true. Okay, I’ll check it later.
Candice, just put the papers inside
once you’re done because
most of it is confidential, okay?
Yes ma’am. I got your back!
I’ll take care of all of this!
Oh! I haven’t checked if the payment
for my side hustle has been transferred already.
Boom! 1000 pesos was
transferred to your account. Yes!
CASH TRANSFER?
CANDICE HAS A SECRET LIFE?
WORKING HARD ON A SIDE HUSTLE, GIRL!
Nice! Finally, everyone who asked me to
make their school projects already paid.
This is a great way to start the day!
Thanks for the payment.
Xavier Ninja is now ready to
deliver your project.
Details about where you can
pick it up will be sent soon. XN
OHHHHH. XN…?
CANDICE IS XAVIER NINJA?
AS IN THE FAMOUS XAVIER NINJA
WHO WILL DO ANY SCHOOL PROJECT FOR MONEY?
Yep. I’m Xavier Ninja.
But before you judge me,
I just help out students with their school projects.
Anything illegal is off-limits.
Of course, I still have principles!
AT LEAST, RIGHT?
At least…
Guys, there’s something 
happening at the school yard!
Tiffany, did you see?
The four bad boys are
cleaning the school grounds!
What happened now?
I don’t know.
Oh Candice, what are you doing there?
Are you going to make a scene? 
Where are you going?
ADMIT IT, CANDICE, 
YOU’RE ALSO CURIOUS, RIGHT?
DON’T BE SHY. 
LOOK, YOU WILL WALK PASS THROUGH THEM.
Does a bad attitude make someone attractive?
These boys always bully other people!
Oh my god, someone is walking towards them!
Luckily, she’s walking towards Jeydon!
Good luck, girl!
Hi Jeyydoon, I’m Stella Melicoton by the way.
Sometimes, all the way.
Do you want me to help you clean?
I’m good at it. Give me the broom!
I don’t want to.
JEYDON, THE LEADER.
JUST LOOK AT HIM - DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.
AND THAT SWEET. SOULFUL SMILE THAT
LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT YOU
HIS DEEPEST, DARKEST SECRET…
AND NOT JUST ANY SECRET,
A FLIRTY SECRET, OKAY? YOU GET WHAT I MEAN!
WHY AM I JUST A NARRATOR IN THIS STORY?
I WANT TO BE A CHARACTER!
Jeydon, stop her!
Why, Candice? Are you jealous?
Jealous? You’re not that handsome,
excuse me….
well, you’re kind of attractive but…
Troy, what is she saying?
Oh our stateside friend. She said,
you’re handsome like a pigeon’s poop.
THAT’S TROY MENDOZA.
HE’S KNOWN AS THE HEARTTHROB 
THANKS TO HIS SUPER CHARMING
BOY-NEXT-DOOR LOOKS AND SMOOTH PICKUP LINES
SHOW US YOUR DIMPLES, BEBEBOY!
Troy just laughs everything off!
Why are so many women attracted to him?
His only claim to fame here is his dimples.
Same goes for Old Charles,
super senior repeater and still very much immature.
THAT’S CHARLES GONZALES.
POPULARLY KNOWN AS OLD CHARLES.
HE LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE 
ROMANCE POCKETBOOK COVER BOYS,
THE ONES WHO ARE ALWAYS
SHOWING OFF THEIR CHEST
AND PASSIONATELY EMBRACING WOMEN.
LASTLY, THE ONE WHO’S QUIET
AND LOOKS LIKE HE DOESN’T CARE,
THAT’S MARKY LIM.
IMAGINE ALL OF YOUR KOREAN DREAMBOAT
FANTASIES COMING TO LIFE IN ONE BOY.
GLASS SKIN, CHINITO,
AND THAT, JAWLINE? GOSH!
THAT’S HIM!
OKAY, HE’S ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING!
Alright, that's enough.
Stella, they are just joking.
At least, Marky has a conscience. Quiet...
Mysterious in a good way, laughing eyes…
-AHEM. CALM DOWN, CANDICE. YOU’RE TOO OBVIOUS.
B-but of course, I don’t like him.
WE CAN SEE YOUR EYES TWINKLING
-Excuse me, you’re just a narrator,
stop giving too many opinions!
OUCH!
I KNOW! BUT WHY DON’T YOU WANT
TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE BAD BOYS?
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE FUN TO BE WITH.
I’m a nobody, and I’m happy.
No friends, no problems.
All I want is to graduate so I can leave this place 
and get away from those spoiled four bad boys.
Good morning class.
Good Morning, Ma’am Tina.
I have an announcement to make
Are you pregnant, Ma’am?
You’re pregnant, right?
If you must know, I ate a big
breakfast earlier, so I’m just bloated.
Anyway, the school board has
launched a student buddy program.
Our top students will get a chance
to the students from the lower sections.
Of course, you’ll get extra merit for this.
If you’re aiming
for honors or scholarships,
this is your chance!
We’re just finalizing the list. We’ll post it
on the bulletin board tomorrow, okay?
Candice, don’t hide behind that book —
you know you’ll be chosen
as a student-teacher buddy.
Yeah, I figured, Ma’am.
Okay, let’s begin our lesson for today!
My first question: What is the difference between a
banana and a tomato? Anyone?
Yes? Even just one? Guys?
Finally, I’m home.
Oh, you’re here.
Do you want some cupcakes?
Give it a taste test. I need your input-
-no. I have a lot of things to do.
Just give it a taste.
This is delicious, I’m sure.
Is that my money plant by the window?
Oh, yes. I saw it inside your room,
it wasn’t getting any sunlight,
so why I put it there.
Why didn’t you ask for my permission, Ma?
It’s Feng Shui, that’s why I put it there.
Oh, really? I didn’t know.
Cupcakes?
Hard to act on something 
when you don't now what’s going on, right?
Candice…
So I’ll be the one to eat all of this again?
Okaay. Cupcake number 1!
Yuck.
Are you okay, Lucky, my money plant?
I’m sorry my mom took you out of my room.
Don’t be mad at me,
you still have to bring me more luck!
Look at my account, Looks like I saved 
quite a lot thanks to Xavier Ninja.
And of course, because of you, Lucky!
Huh? I’m harsh on Mommy?
It wasn’t like that.
And you know the whole story, right?
I’m mad at her. We’re mad at her, you're on my side.
Just look at this picture of Daddy that I found.
He’s in Australia.
We have to go there, we have no place here.
We can’t trust anyone here.
Soon, daddy, soon.
I’ll be able to find you.
Hang in there, Xavier Ninja.
See! Another project for Xavier Ninja.
You’ve brought me so much luck, Lucky!
Easy! Cha ching!
CANDICE’S DAY WAS GOING PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.
OR SO SHE THOUGHT.
QUITE A SURPRISE AS SHE IS 
APPROACHED FOR THE FIRST TIME BY…
Hi, Candice Gonzales.
Tiffany?
Why are you calling me by my full name?
This is the first time you went to the library.
Candice, I went to the library when I was in Grade 3.
I needed to use the ladies’ room.
By the way, I have a project I want you to do!
Project?
Yup! Xavier Ninja project!
Shh! Lower down your voice.
I’m not Xavier Ninja, you idiot.
You sent an email to me yesterday,
you used your real email.
I thought you wanted a friend,
that’s why you had let me know who you really are.
OH NO NO NO, CANDICE GIRL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
No, that’s not me. No.
It’s okay, I’m not going to tell anyone.
We’re friends now, right?
You're actually cool because you fight back to the four bad boys.
By the way, this letter...
PAUSE! SPOILER ALERT: 
THAT ITEM SHE IS HANDING OVER
IS WHAT WILL TURN CANDICE’S LIFE UPSIDE DOWN.
Can you deliver this love note to Troy, Ninja?
Huh? Why me?
Because I saw that you two are close
SHHH!
Don’t you know you guys are at a library?
Sorry Ms. Librarian. (whispers)
Because I saw that you two are close.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I said quiet!
Sorry Ms. Librarian.
(whispers) Absolutely not.
What did you say?
Ah Ms. Librarian,
I’m talking to Tiffany.
Help me, please?
I’ll think about it.
NINJA!!! I’ll tell everyone.
Ninja! Ninja? Ninja!
Quiet please!
There are no ninjas here!
This is a library!
Give that to me.
I said I’ll think about it.
I know you’re a good friend, I’m so lucky.
Lucky? Did someone win the lottery?
Shh! You’re so noisy, Ms, Librarian.
Sorry! Sorry, sorry.
Wow, you wrote me a letter, Nerd?
I don’t care about you.
Someone just wanted me to give it to you.
Kneel first.
Do you want to kneel with a punch?
Wow, you’re so feisty.
Do you want to take this 
or do you want me to throw it to you?
Oh really? Throw it.
Ouch!
Oh, sorry, Jeydon!
Oh no, you hurt Jeydon’s face.
Betty, are you trying to get my attention?
OMG! You did throw it away, Candice!
I thought you were joking.
You hit him square in the face!
What do you mean by Betty?
Now you’re just pretending that you don’t know.
Jeydon still remembers when we were kids.
Your mom has been dressing you up as
Betty La Fea because that’s her favorite TV show.
She even drew on you thick eyebrows like Betty’s.
Now, you’re officially a Betty. You’re Betty.
I think you should apologize, Betty.
I’ll leave!
Wait, you’re too near.
Personal space, please?
OMG. THEY ARE WAY TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER,
THERE’S NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT!
Awkward?
Annoying!
Why are you blushing?
It’s because I’m a mestiza!
Sus, mestiza.
You have a crush on me, don’t you?
As if!
Six inches for the holy spirit!
Bye one million times!
OKAY, NOT THE BEST IDEA. LEAVE NOW.
GRRRRR….you knew that was a bad idea, Candice.
You shouldn’t have let Tiffany blackmail you,
now you messed with those four bad boys.
They won’t let that go easily…I can feel it!
BUT CANDICE, LETS FACE IT.
HIGH SCHOOL IS ABOUT TO BE OVER,
YOU’RE STILL AN NBSB.
NO BOYFRIEND SINCE BIRTH.
YOU’RE LEANING AGAINST THE DOOR
OF THE JANITOR’S ROOM,
JUST LET ME ASK YOU ONE MISS UNIVERSE QUESTION…
IF YOU COULD FALL FOR ONE OF THOSE FOUR BOYS?
WHO WOULD IT BE?
CHARLES—THE POCKETBOOK COVER?
Eew. True enough, you don’t know me.
Him and I, we have a connection, you know.
OHHH CONNECTION… WOW!
WHAT CONNECTION?
WHICH EPISODE WILL WE
FIND OUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THEM?
ANYWAY, HOW ABOUT TROY?
Hmm, no. Tiffany can have him!
WOW, LOYAL TO THE BLACKMAILER.
HOW ABOUT JEYDON?
Also no,
he’s mean.
You saw what he did earlier, right?
OKAY, HOW ABOUT MARKY?
OH, BUSTED! YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING!
HEY, HEY, WHY ARE YOU SMILING?
YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING! OMG!
BUZZER! TIME IS UP!
SO IT’S MARKY, THEN?
The truth is that all of us just wants someone
who is funny, thoughtful, and nice to be around.
A person I can trust 
and won’t break that trust.
That’s why those four boys are a no.
WHY IS IT SUDDENLY DRAMATIC?
WE ARE JUST HAVING A CHILL CONVO EARLIER,
THEN YOU’RE GETTING SAD.
WHAT DID REALLY HAPPEN?
Nothing…
just stop, why am I talking to you,
you’re not part of the story,
you are just a narrator.
OUCH, THAT HURTS!
BUT, WELL, TRUE.
I AM JUST A NARRATOR.
HEY, CAREFUL BECAUSE 
THE DOOR BEHIND YOU IS OPENING...
Ahhh!
OH MY GOD! PAUSE!
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!
SOMEONE PULLED CANDICE
INSIDE THE JANITOR’S ROOM.
OKAY PLAY.
Help! It’s dark…
who are you?
IT’S SO DARK!
I CAN’T SEE WHAT’S GOING ON!
WAAAAAAIT! DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT?
SOMEONE KISSED CANDICE?
PLEASE REWIND! INCREASE THE VOLUME.
OH MY GOOOOOD.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
WE ARE WHOLESOME HERE!
Perveeeeert!
YES CANDICE, GO!
GO AFTER THE ONE WHO STOLE YOUR FIRST KISS!
HASHTAG TAKE YOUR KISS BACK!
Hey you!!!
Ouch — who threw that notebook?
Jeydon?
You again?
OH NO, CANDICE.
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO STAY AWAY,
YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THEM.
Jeydon?! You kissed me?!
AND LISTENERS, 
THAT’S WHERE THE FIRST EPISODE ENDS…
WANNA KNOW WHAT’S NEXT?
WE’LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT EPISODE OF LISTEN TO LOVE,
THE FOUR BAD BOYS AND ME.
THIS IS DJ ZARI SAYING, LOVE IS ZARI-ZARI,
