Adriana, hold on a minute, i only want to talk to you and be your friend.

No Christian, please don't follow me, you won't get anything from me by being my friend.

Who said i want anything from you? I only want to take that pain away from your eyes, the pain you don't want anyone to notice and you fight to hide but not from me.

You don't know what your talking about, please leave me alone and don't bother me.

Then let me in, and i help you through it all, please don't chase me away from you.

Whatever, it's your choice Christian, i don't think i can let you do what you don't want.

So your now my friend(grins brightly) yes sorry about me doing this, i have always wanted to talk to you.

Christian Dawn is a calm, charming guy, out going, an extrovert and comes from a humble background. He has never had a  girlfriend but he falls for shy Adriana who comes from a different background from his. Will they be able to risk it all for their happiness?

She'll find him right when she's not even sure she can find herself at all... and when she's not sure she can find her boarding gate to begin with, either.

To the point in which they won't be able to stay away from the other one for any longer than five minutes. Looking for the other one and lowkey hoping not to get caught redhanded doing that, because it just wouldn't be their style.
