Mig’s POV
Morning sunshine glared through my window, blinding me and mocking me with the light it held and dreaming how am I supposed to be after years or more? By the way, I’m Migs, a little kid, yet they’re always telling me that I came from a rich family but I think that those are just complements and I don’t believe it that way much. As I was looking upon the light, I’ve realized that it would take too much time before I saw my girl, a girl whom will I treat as my princess and my own. I should better keep on enjoying by myself.
One day, we went to the church with my bestfriend, and her sister. I do not know who is she, and my friend just introduce her to me. I just smile at her and she put her hands in her head showing a little bit of shame. I felt curiosity to her because of her staring eyes glancing at me, making it too annoyance for me. But I think that I saw her before yet I do not know where, when and how.
Kimberly’s POV
Hey! I’m Kimberly, sister and was living a street away from Migs’s house. It’s not the first time that I saw Migs. It’s because I always went down in their village and I saw him playing with his dog in their backyard. My heart beats fast when I always saw him and I don’t know why. I made myself in a hurry whenever he would come up and saw my face. It’s because I’m too shy and I do not know what to do when our eyes met and glanced. And when my brother introduced me to him, I felt happiness inside my heart even though I was ashamed. I think he’s my crush, my first puppy love and I can’t get over about him.
Migs’s POV
Oh my gosh! Now I remember who is she. She was my stalker, sorry for the word, but I always saw her outside the house and keeps on staring me and when I was looking beyond, she turns back having the reason for me not to look on to her face another time.
As we were on the church, I felt that it was too boring, so I went outside to enter the freshness of the air. I walked outside until I reached the plaza. I saw a cute little girl, looking away and finding of nothing. I knew she’s cute but I can’t explain but she looks like a “happy go lucky girl” not only because of her outfit but also of her actions. But I do not know why I like to meet her and ask for her name just for once. I hope it’s alright if I better make friends with her because maybe she’s kind and good-hearted person.

So Migs, went to the girl he’s pertaining to. He asked for her name and they talk for a while, but the girl bid a goodbye because she was already found by her parents. The girl immediately shook her hand and left away. If looking at Migs’s facial expression, he was too flurry and chilled for what happened, his heart beat fast and when the girl was going away from him, his eyes kept on staring at her until she was already gone and picked up by her parents. On the other hand, Kimberly together with her brother was looking for Migs until they found him in the plaza. Kimberly’s brother induce Migs to go home.
