Tick tok tick tok. The alarm clock went. Five. Four. Three. Two. One! Her alarm clock rang at exactly 8:00. She switched the alarm off and look at her phone. "Any minute now," she said to herself.

She got up from her bed and opened the window. The wind blew on her face. She smiled as she put her hair aside. "This is gonna be a great day," she muttered as she looked at her phone.

"Happy Anniversary Sweetie ♥ See you at 10. Usual place," she saw the text from her boyfriend in her phone. Alyssa smiled as she replied to her boyfriend, Bernard. Today is their 3rd anniversary. She's so happy that she had a faithful and honest boyfriend.

She had had 2 boyfriends before. The first one lasted 2 weeks and her last boyfriend went for 6 months. The reason for the break up? Infidelity. All of them have other girlfriends.

Alyssa had just finished taking a shower. She took her time choosing the clothes she will wear for today's date. She was the conservative type and due to her social status, she couldn't afford nice clothes especially that her brother keeps losing jobs.

After several minutes, she was all set. She was wearing a red dress her friend gave her for her birthday, a white cardigan her brother gave her for last Christmas and her favorite doll shoes (that she had for like 3 years now).

"Niichan(Big brother in Japanese)! I'm going out. I'll be back by dinner," she shouted to his room. Niichan keeps slacking off. she thought. "Uh? Did you prepare breakfast Aly-chan?" he asked drowsily. "Yes I'll be going now," she said as her puts her big bento in her bag. "Wait!" her brother spoke as he went out of his room.

Alyssa's eyes widened when she saw Albert in his underwear. "The least you could do was put some clothes on niichan!!!" she shouted at him and stepped out.

Albert looked so stupid being left at home. "All I wanted to say was take care. Gosh! What kind of brother am I?"

Alyssa walked happily to their usual place. She looked at her watch. 9:32. Got a lot of time to spare. She arrived at the park and sat down on the bench. She saw a lot people walking by and children playing. She smiled. She can't wait for Bernard to arrive.

10 am. She looked from left to right. No sight of him yet. She sighed as she waited anxiously. I know he'll be here I just know it. Hours have passed and still no sign of Bernard. She tries to call him. "The number you dialed is currently not available.."

What happened to you Bernard? She texted him and now she's so worried. "What if something bad has happened to him?" she said to herself. Suddenly everything went black.

"Where am I? Everything is all white," she said as she spun around. Her surroundings where all white. "A-am I d-dead?" Then she heard a voice. "Miss!!! MISS!!!"

"Miss? Are you alright?" the voice kept saying. Alyssa opened her eyes. She saw a handsome face. OMG! What is this? "Miss, I'm glad you're awake. My cousin knocked you cold with this ball," he explained. "OH!" she exclaimed. "I'm going to pay you for your glasses," he said. She looked at her broken glasses and saw her watch. It was 2 pm. "I-I h-have to go. B-bye," she dashed off.

"Such a mysterious girl," he said. He looked down. "Oh! She left something."

She held her breath as she stopped at a corner. "Thanks for this day. I really loved it," she heard a female voice. "Nah... She wasn't worth the time," a familiar male voice said. She peeked. And saw... Bernard being lovey dovey with another girl. Her eyes widened. The couple saw her. "I hate you!" Alyssa said as she ran with tears in her eyes.

"I swear I'll kill all those jerks..."
