Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

My name is Aurelia Celeste Montclair

I am 17 years old. A Senior High School student.

I am just an ordinary student. I love listening to music while doing my assignments. I often stay up late even if I have school the next day. Before I sleep, I like to think about "what if" situations in my life.

They say high school is the most memorable part of life. They say this is where you meet friends who might stay forever. This is also where you experience your first serious dream… and sometimes your first real heartbreak.

I didn't know which of those would happen to me.

In real life, I am a quiet person. It is easier for me to share my feelings when I am behind a screen. Maybe because no one can see my hands shaking while I type. No one can see how wide I smile when I receive a message.

My life was simple back then school, home, friends, a little classroom drama, and my dream to enter the college I want someday. I wasn't looking for anything. I wasn't expecting anything.

Until one vacation…

One simple app download because I was bored.

One simple "Hi."

One simple notification that I didn't know would change the way my heart feels.

I didn't know I would meet someone online.

I didn't know there would be someone I would never see in person until fifteen years later.

And most of all, I didn't know that one simple chat could become a story I would carry with

me as I grow older.
