Love at First Sight

Prologue

» Song by: One Direction

Morning always be her favorite moment in everyday. And morning is a perfect time for her to study and drink her hot tea. She's in her room obviously. A girl who just turned 20, and trying her best to have a normal life. 

Everytime the clock turn to 8:15 am, her house maid will knock the door. She have ask her so many times not to knock while she's studying. She woke up earlier than you could expect. It seems like she have to force herself to open the door. "What?"

The maid look at her in shock and scared a bit. She quiet because she know that she need a permission first before she start talking. Julia  groans and lean at the the door frame. "I've told you so many times don't-" she cut her off straight away. "Mr.Brown ask me to wake you up". Julia let out a soft sigh that she can't hear.

Julia got so mad everytime people disturb her. Especially when she's studying. She walk pass her, leaving her maid stand there alone with innocent face. "Dad why?!" She yell from upstairs. She definitely not going down there. She just shout from the stairs balcony.

Her dad's name is Owen Brown. He owns a huge company. Many companies. Their family is way too rich. Her step mother is international designer. Almost all clothes that her step mother designed are wear by many celebrities, and some of them by the royal family.

If somebody mention about them, everyone will know the answer. This is why Julia is rich. She's rich, but she hate showing that she's rich. Wearing Gucci, expensive bag, fill her face with many kind of makeup products.. is not her habits since she was born.

"Why what?" Her dad yelled back from his fancy living room. Her dad just same as her stepmother. Everytime she speak, Julia must always repeat the same thing again and again. They're not deaf but they're pretending being deaf.

Julia stomp her feet back to her room and ask "What? Leave me alone. I'm leaving and I'll take my own breakfast okay?" Julia yelled.

The maid nod and look down. Once her maid walk away from her room, Julia slam the door closed. She put all her stuff in her backpack and ready to leave to college. She probably gonna stay at her college for more than 4 days.

She wasn't looking that bum so she just need to tie her hair up. While she facing the mirror to tie her hair, she still feel mad and crying so hard at the inside. Julia don't want to ruin her makeup because she will have a class in 35 more minutes.

All packed up. She don't need to bring clothes because she leave some clothes in her dorm. Everything is complete. Finally she can leave her fancy big room.

Julia stopped at the main door to put on her shoes and her sock. Of course her dad keep looking at her and keep asking the same question at the inside. "Where are you going?" He let it out glanced. Julia ignore the question, not even looking at her dad or put any sight. "Julia".

She sigh and pick her backpack on the floor. Not caring at all her dad's voice or anybody in the house. For your information, she's the only daughter in the house. She hate all person in the house, nobody ever treat her like she want to be treated.

Green Café is her favorite place to enjoy her morning breakfast. Taking her order is the first thing that she did when she step inside.

It's 8:25 am. At this time, people still getting ready for their day, cooking breakfast for their children or whatever family, so Julia is the first person who's there. The café opened on 8 am.

The café is very beautiful and aesthetic for everyone. Plants, green table, white chairs, some brown couch fits her morning mood perfectly. The lighting of raising sun, steaming her cheek.

5 minutes later waiting for her espresso, it finally landed on her table. Espresso always be her favorite coffee of all time. "Umm, can I have two croissants?" The waiter take the order and go back inside the kitchen.

She's hungry and it's okay if she eat two croissants. She's british and croissants always be her main morning bread. Besides, she haven't take any breakfast. 

Julia is scrolling on her instagram, but suddenly she saw a McLaren instagram post on her explore feed. It reminds of her dad because he never liked Mclaren fr some reason that she'll never know. 

She have no idea if she should watch the short video. While thinking, she bite her lower lip and squeeze her eyebrows. Julia is not a big fan of McLaren and she don't know anything about racing or the driver. But the post kinda interesting. The post is covered with a guy smiling with brown curl and green eye.

Unexpected, she tap the video. "Hello, my name is Lando Norris. McLaren driver 2019. I am so excited to see all of you to watch us racing on 28th July this summer at Germany. Can't wait to see you Germany". The video ended.

Julia nod, impressed with his british accent. She wasn't expecting that he's british. Dreaming moments is done for her. She look down on her watch, there's 25 more minutes before her first class started. Wasting time is not one of her habit so she need to move now.

• at her college •

Queen Mary College is top 5 college in London. Her dad is very proud of her, but still not caring that she work so hard. It wasn't that far to reached her college from her dorm. There's more time to pack some of her stuff.

Thanks to herself that she still have the key. She didn't go back to her dorm since last season. When the door opened wide by her, everything still look the same and just a little bit decoration on her friend's light table.

"I thought you're dead". Someone added behind her. Leaning on the door frame, crossing her arm on the chest and fold her left leg. She's kinda serious. "Do you think I'm dead now? Or maybe this is ghost of me?" Julia joke. Thank goodness her roommate wasn't that mad after Julia let out some jokes.

Julia throw her bag on her bed, next to a window. "So.. I see you put a little decorations on the table miss Sarah". She smirk. Both of them crossing each other arm now. That's her friend's name, Sarah Jensen. 21 and just end her first semester. "Yeah.. just a little".

Sarah stop leaning on the door, and rest herself on the bed. Julia didn't care at all what she's doing, she's too focus on the mirror before she go to her first class. "Where have you been?" Sarah mumbled. "My parents house obviously". Julia reply back her questions.

While she redoing her hair, Sarah said "I think we should go to Germany this summer". Once that words came out from her mouth, thousands of questions came up on her head. "Did she know about the F1 racing? She like F1? Why she didn't tell me? Why F1?" She ask herself using her conscience.

Both of her eyebrows squeezed together and stop binding her hair. She turn around with questioning face. It seems like Sarah and Julia have the same question.

"Why?" "Why?" They said the same thing simultaneously. Julia shrugged her shoulder and rolled her eyes away. "So you know about the F1?" Julia ask. "What the.. no. What is F1? I want to go there because I want to go on a vacation with you this summer". It explained.

Seems like Julia is wrong about her. They're not that close, and Julia not always in her dorm. She always in the library alone without telling Sarah. But when Sarah think again "She like F1? Which team is she supporting?" She accidentally chuckle while that question running around her mind. That makes she got attention by Julia.

"Excuse me? Did I miss something?" Julia asked, putting both of her hand on the hips and raise her eyebrows seriously. "Nothing.. I promise". Another giggle came out from her mouth. For Julia, nothing is funny for her.

She's done everything that she need to do in her dorm. The clock keep ticking, she don't have that much time anymore. "I must get to class now. What about you?" Last question from Julia before she get to class.

"On 9:40". Julia chuckle and nod as agreement. She close the door behind her and straight to the college and into the class.
