PROLOGUE. ♛
I am Karissa Manuel. I'm never one of those Ms. Populars. I'm never one of the famous campus sweethearts. I'm never the party-goer type. I am Karissa. I am just Karissa ☊
Yes, this may sound too cliche like all those stories you read, but I am a nerd. The typical shy-girl-type, an outcast, a wallflower. This is going to be boring, or well maybe, just because I am boring.
But then one day, I met someone.
He's the kind of guy you usually fall in love in movies and the guy authors write novels about. Imagine your ideal man. The kind when you can only say; "Oh, I doubt we'll ever happen"
I don't hate the opposite sex. I just don't care at all. Not anymore. Not for now. Maybe, not at all. Who knows?
But I can't hide the fact that I, too, believe in love. I believe-- wait, no, scratch that-- I definitely know that once you feel it, nevermind the pain, it always will be worth it. And that feeling is wondrous, and you'd think the rest is collateral damage.
"But seriously, why do I care?" My subconscious says.
But I was right, everything changed.
My life changed after that.
