1. Chapter 1

It was around 8pm when I arrived at the mini-pub. Emily is my best friend and I would do anything for her, which means spend my day off with her. Today is her first time playing her guitar in public, so I am here to support her.

I was a bit late so I couldn't find a nice spot, but somewhere at the corner I saw an empty seat. Just in time, she started. She's a talented girl and I love that in her. I was giving that you-can-do-it-stares at her as she performed. When she was about to end someone just poked my shoulder. I turned to see a mesmerizing blue eyes.

"Are you in love with her or something?" this unknown man said staring intensely at me.

I'm feeling uncomfortable with his intense gaze at me but I can't let him know that.

"Why do say that?" I tried to sound casual.

"It's just the way you're looking at her."

"What? Can't a woman do whatever she wants to?"

"Of course" he smirked. "Do you know her?" he asked looking at Emily.

"She's my bestie. She's doing great up there, right?" I said trying to sound calm and relaxed.

"She's talented and she's lucky to have you as a friend. You're beautiful" it took me a while to realise what he just said.

How can someone change the subject so randomly?? Does he realise the effects of his words?

"Thanks" I said turning away because his eyes were burning my skin.

I'm not used to this kind of attention. I'm the kind of girl who doesn't catch the attention at first sight. When you spend your entire life focused on books, no one pays attention to you.

I didn't notice Emily's performance was over until some claps echoed from the mini-pub. I stood up joining the crowd. Emily made eye-contact with, so I have to go to her. I was about to say goodbye to that man but he wasn't there anymore. That's weird but I just let it go.

"Congrats Emy!! I knew you would do it, you're amazing!" I said hugging her tight.

"I would believe if you weren't flirting with the first guy you met during my performance" and there she goes with her sarcasm.

"Wait, what? You saw that?!"

"Duh, of course! He's hot, do you have his phone number??"

"Erm... No?" She litterally face palmed herself with my answer.

"Miah, you know I love you but sometimes I want to beat your face so hard!"

"It's not my fault!" I defended myself. "He litterally disappeared in the crowd."

"You can't lie to me, so I believe in you" she smiled.

"You know me so well" I said smiling while grabbing my bag, ready to go home.

The lights were off when I arrived home, which means my mom is sleeping. I walked in on tiptoes just to make sure I won't wake her up. She needs to rest well and I don't want to disturb her. I took a shower as soon as I reached upstairs and was ready to have a good sleep. At least that's what I thought because as soon as I closed my eyes, a pair of blue lagoons filled the darkness of my sleep.
