Prologue

ᴋᴀʀᴀ ᴅᴀɴᴠᴇʀs

I wake up hearing the alarm sound, but I turn it off and go back to sleep remembering it was my day off. But as what is good doesn't last, a few seconds after lying down again, I hear the bedroom door open sharply, making me wake up and look at the being that was standing in the entrance of my room with his arms crossed.

- Are you really not ready yet?! - Alex asks.

- Today is my damn time off Alex! Let me sleep in peace! - I exclaim tiredly.

- You may not have work today, but I made a date for you today! - Speak making me sit on the bed in a jump.

- You what?! - I ask getting irritated. Great way to start a day...

- You heard! I made a date for you! And before you say it was a bad idea, go on the date first! You won't know if it will work or not if you don't try! - speaks sitting on the edge of my bed.

- No, I'll be more embarrassed than I did last time! - I say lying down again and covering my face with the blanket.

- But I very much doubt you'll do anything important today! You said yourself it was your day off! So get up from that bed, get ready and go on that date! For me! - Alex speaks trying to argue.

- It will not work! You've already tried that last time! - I reply simply.

- Okay, so I promise you it will be the last time I do this... but you'll have to go on this date first! - She speaks, and I soon raise my eyebrow dubiously.

- Okay... I'll go then! If it'll stop you from trying to play Cupid on me! - I answer rolling my eyes and I get up from my bed.

- I promise! Girl scout word! - Alex exclaims happily.

- And when were you a Girl Scout? - I ask wrinkling my forehead.

- Okay! Okay, so word of sister! - Alex says making me laugh.

- Okay, then go take a shower and I'll choose your clothes! - Says pushing me towards my bathroom.

...

After taking a shower, I go to my room and see that Alex is no longer there, I walk towards my bed realizing that she had left the dress she had chosen along with a note that said "I had to go out to solve some problems, but I left everything you need to know about the date at the end of the note and good luck with the date."

Finishing reading the note I leave it on the dresser that was nearby, and start examining the dress that Alex has chosen. It's a black tube dress that goes above the knees and leaves the shoulders showing.

- Okay, I can do it! This isn't my first date, I'll be able to handle it! I think... - I say to myself, hoping to calm down, but as expected I got even more nervous, this motivational speech I was trying to give myself reminded me of the other dates I had, they all ended up the same way, I messed up so much that it always ended up making me pay some trouble... there was even one time that the meeting had to end early because I managed the feat of sticking my fork in his hand... don't ask me how I did it that, I don't even know exactly how to do it, in the end the date ended with the guy scared of me and wanting distance from me and my sister laughing for a week about it when I told her.

Stopping with this horrible idea of trying to motivate me, I go looking for a shoe. And I opt for a simple black high heel, I do a simple makeup and I opt to let my hair down.

...

Having finished getting ready, I go to my desk and pick up my cell phone, noticing it was almost time from what I saw in the note. Well, at least the restaurant is close to my apartment, so if nothing goes well, the way back home won't be that long. I grab my small handbag, which is also black, and leave the apartment.

...

Having already arrived at the restaurant and sitting at the table that was reserved by James, the guy I'm going to have this date with, and I start to wait for him to show up... seriously I thought I was going to be late.

...

I've been waiting for James for half an hour, I even lost count of how many times the waiter came to my table to see if I would order, but I always said no, because I was still waiting for someone, last time he she asked if I was sure with a pitying look, then as I was already famished I ordered, having already realized that I had brought a cake. Okay I knew the date would probably be a failure, but the guy doesn't even show up! Maybe it's the universe telling me to stop these attempts. After eating the food I ordered, and having had enough of waiting for James, I pay the bill and leave the restaurant.

Leaving the restaurant, I decide that this time I will cut my way through the park that faced the restaurant, I was too tired of it all to realize how close I was to the small lake.

I raise my head a little more, and I'm startled to see who was running in the park, it was him, the person who made my heart miss a beat, who I dreamed of during the night and who was also my first love . With this sudden fright and because I'm too close to the edge, I fall against the lake, and mentally beg him not to have seen it.

I see a hand held out in front of me to help me out of the lake, I take it without even looking at the person who helped me, and I'm pulled out of the lake, as soon as I get out I realize that everyone in the park was still watching me. , some were trying to contain their laughter, others were already laughing, realizing how much attention I received with the fall I felt my cheeks blush with embarrassment, when I turn my attention to the person who helped me, I feel my blush more strongly, realizing it was him.

- Are you okay? - He asked me with concern stamped in his eyes, which ran through me in search of some wound.

- Oh! Yes, I'm fine y-yes, no problem at all, that's normal for me already- I respond quickly, feeling the effects he had on me coming back. How is this possible ? Even after years of not keeping in touch, does he still manage to have such an effect on me?

- So... I mean that whenever you see a lake you throw yourself in it - he asked me in a playful tone and with a confused look.

- No, it's not that, it's just that I'm used to being clumsy at this point, honestly I don't know why I got so close to the lake even though I knew it - I replied, rambling a bit and giving a nervous laugh.

- Okay then, miss fumbling, what's your name? I feel like I know you from somewhere... - he asked making me flash a red light in my mind and get more nervous.

- Ah you must just be confusing me with someone else, I've never seen you before! - I lie. - Thank you so much Mon-El, but I have to go - I say but soon I realize the mistake I made when I said his name, he hadn't even told me yet, and the worst thing is that I had said he never did. had the vista ante. Without giving him a chance to say anything, I run out of the park embarrassed, at least as much as I could, since I was wearing heels.
