"Mia, how do you know if you love someone?" Jake sat beside me. Jake is my childhood best friend. And how did that happen? It's because I don't have friends in our neighborhood but ever since he approached me one day, I started to have one. He would always go to my house with his guitar and play songs for me. He would always serenade me to sleep at night before he goes home. He would always have dinner with me and my family. Basically, he's always welcome in our home. And after 8 months, I started to have feelings for him. And because of that, he became by first love.
"In my opinion, you love someone if your heart beats very fast every time you see them or every time you're with them." I looked straight into his hazel brown eyes. Everything started to slow down. At that moment, I wanted for time to stop. I wanted to tell him how I feel but I changed my mind when I heard the next few things he said to me.
"Oooh. Is that so? Well, I gotta tell you something. Please don't tell it to anyone, okay?"
"Sure. What is it?" My heart started to beat louder and faster. I was expecting for good news but then..
"I have a crush on Kate Jones. Do you know her? She's my classmate." Oh. Fuck. I felt my heart ache. It broke into millions of pieces. I just.. can't accept this. Shit! I can't be dreaming!
"Oh. Okay. Anyways, I have to go. I feel sick." I stood up quickly from the bench and walked away.
"Wait! Mia! Where are you going?" He stood up.
"Home, where else?" I coldly said.
"I'll accompany you." I turned around. I can feel my eyes burning already.
"Nah. No thanks."
"Uh.. Okay. Hey, promise me to keep it a secret. Okay?"
"Yeah. I promise." I looked into his eyes one last time and ran away. I ran as fast as I could. I wanna be away, away from him and away from all the bullshit in life. I wish I never had feelings for him. I wish I confessed my feelings before it's too late. In that way, I wouldn't be experiencing this right now. Fuck. I didn't know that the most painful heartbreaks come from your first love.
*End of flashback*
[Ven's POV]
"Mia?" I said. I'm getting a bit worried about her. Ever since she told the Oculus Rift about Jake Anderson, also known as her 'first love', we secretly planned on making Mia forget about him. We really did our best on doing that but I guess all of our efforts were put into waste because her memories finally came back.
"Earth to Mia. Are you alright?" Ree snapped her fingers in front of Mia's face.
"Huh? Y-yeah.. I'm alright, I guess?" Mia smiled at us. Okay, it's kinda obvious that she's faking it. I looked at Ree and sighed. Ree looked back and sighed too.
*RRRRIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!*
"Looks like it's break time already. Come on, guys. Let's head to our classroom. The rest of the group is already waiting for us." I said. I'm a bit hungry now anyway.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mia got up from her bed and dragged us out of the room.
[Jake's POV]
I went back to my classroom and sat on my seat. I hurriedly took out my notebook and pen and began to jot down the ones being written on the board by our Physics teacher. As I was jotting down notes, I was thinking of Mia. I'm pretty sure I've seen her before. I know it's déjà vu.
*Flashback*
We were sitting on her bed one night, doing nothing at all. I always go to her house every night to serenade her. It's not that I have feelings for her or what. I just find her very special to me and I don't know why.
"Mia, who's your first love?" I became curious about her lovelife. She never tells me about it. She looked up.
"Why do you ask?"
"You never tell me anything about your lovelife that's why I asked. I'm a bit curious." I answered. I felt my heart beat fast. Shit, why do I suddenly feel this way towards her?
"Oh. That's because I usually keep it to myself."
"Okay then. I won't bother to ask anymore." I smiled at her. "You know, Mia? You're something." I tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Really?" She bit her lip. Damn, she looks beautiful. I have a crush on Kate but why do I feel like I love Mia more than Kate?
"Yeah." I said as I kissed her forehead gently.
*End of flashback*
Wait.. Mia.. SHIT. MIA IS MY CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. Fuck, she changed so much. She became prettier and sexier. And she's got more sex appeal now.
"Woah, dude. Where have you been?" David tapped my shoulder.
"Uhm. Somewhere." I snorted.
"Ha-ha. Fuck you." He punched my arm.
"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" He laughed.
"Dude. If you don't want to get punched again, better give me an accurate answer and not a stupid one."
"Ugh. Fine! I went to the clinic." I answered.
"Why? Are you having headaches again?" Looks like this guy is concerned huh.
"Someone is concerned. Tsk."
"Whatever. Just tell me why did you go to the clinic."
"Lemme tell you what really happened. I was walking along the hallways when I heard a girl shouting for help. I traced the sound and it was coming from the janitor's closet. When I opened the door, I saw Logan trying to rape a girl. And of course, I did my best to save the girl. After that, I brought her to the clinic." I told David.
"Dudeeee. That was.. HEROIC!" David clapped. "What's the name of the girl?" He nudged.
"Mia Perkins."
"MIA PERKINS?" I can see he's very surprised about it.
"What's with the expression?" I'm confused.
"JAKE ANDERSON, YOU JUST SAVED MIA PERKINS OF III-SPRING! YOU KNOW, THE PRETTIEST CLASS PRESIDENT IN OUR BATCH!" He widened his eyes at me.
"Holy.."
"Shit." He finished.
"David, I just flirted with her awhile ago!" I closed my notebook.
"How?!"
"I kissed her on the forehead. Twice."
"YOU'RE SO AWESOME! I THINK YOU SHOULD ASK HER OUT, BRO."
"Hmm. Yeah. Maybe I should." I grinned at the thought of asking her out.
"Do you like her?"
"No. I love her. There's a big difference." I grinned widely. I just realized that I fell in love with my best friend.
~*~*~*~*~
Okay.. I know you guys must be a bit confused about Jake's POV. Well, he already realized that Mia was his childhood best friend. But he doesn't know that Mia is also the prettiest class president in his batch because you know.. he never heard much from her since 2 years ago. And since he doesn't recognize Mia before yet, he doesn't give a care about Mia's life and identity.
I hope you guys understood my explanation. :))
