Prologue

Do you believe in 'Love at first sight'? or 'First Love Never Dies''? Well it all happened to me. Oh, how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself. Manners, manners...

I'm Amelia Monique Hastings Cordova. But you can call me Mia Cordova, or Mia in short. I'm a Freshman College student, and welcome to my life, and maybe you'd bore yourself to death when you find out my lifestyle.

Study, study, study, family, family, family, friends.

Getting straight A's in class, having the best of friends anyone could have, a life filled with simple joys to share to the world, and a family to support you all the way.

That is how amazing my life is.

Love? Pfft. Yeah right...

Mia's P.O.V.

It all started in one boring October afternoon and it was our Semestral Break which took up a month or so. Boring days, and I'm all alone...again. I should get a new hobby. I read almost every book here at home a million times.

Hmm, maybe it's time to by more books.

Suddenly my phone was buzzing.

About time!

I rolled over the bed and quickly stood up to pick my phone on my bedside table.

'Hey girls wanna go shopping? Let's meet up at the mall xoxo'

Ira, one of my best friends, texted me. Seems that I'm not the only bored person in the world, and well, I'm all alone here at the house with my cousin who's maybe out on a date or what, and after all it is boring just sitting here and wasting electricity...

'Sure. Meet you there :)' I quickly replied.

I ran to my closet room which was filled with new clothes I bought two weeks ago and grabbed my loose shirt and high waisted shorts before grabbing my heels. And before I knew it I was on my way to the mall.

I just realized that I went shopping two weeks ago. Shaking my head, I headed straight to the main entrance of the mall.

----

Oh great! My friends are all here: Ira, Ma-an, Kate and Ana. So we did our usual thing...shop until we drop, well not literally drop. Who wants to fall? This was the usual setting we would have. 

A few hours of shopping madness passed and I looked at our shopping bags and it seems that I bought the most. It's surreal because usually I buy the least. Well, it was almost Christmas time right? So I also bought my family's gifts.

Yes, this advance.

"You sure did buy a lot." Ana said emphasizing 'A lot'.

"It's because it's almost Christmas. DUH!" I said laughing.

I really did buy a lot.

Okay, I'm a lucky girl...financially.

My parents are the CEO's of a company. Cordova Incorporation. It wasn't a family business but my dad inherited it from his late boss who entrusted it to both of them. Right now, they were somewhere in Europe. Last month they were in Macau. They're always out of the country but they always make time to see me.

I'm not really that much of a spoiled girl. Material things can never replace the love they show. Even if they're always not with me, I know they love me.

I rarely overspend money. Wait, when was the last time I overspent money with the exemption of today? Oh, yes! When I bought six books at a bookstore. Speaking of books, I forgot to buy new ones.

"Girls, can we go to the bookstore next?" I asked with a sweet smile, hoping that they'd say yes.

Fortunately, they did agree, so we headed off to the bookstore which was located on the ground floor of the mall we were in.

While walking, we saw our friend, Cathy, with her boyfriend, Ken, walking toward us. It's been a long time since we saw her. I ran to her but I didn't notice the wet floor. I slid and nearly fell flat but someone caught me. No it wasn't one of my friends. No it wasn't Ken either...who could it be?

My eyes were still shut.

"That was a close one!"

I slowly opened my eyes.

Who was it?

I looked at him. He had beautiful blue-ish gray eyes, he has dirty blonde hair. His hair was a debate of blonde and brown. I can say he's working out because he looks very, very fit, an angelic voice which was addictive and overall--simple yet extremely handsome. I fell silent for a while.

Oh...my...God.
