Sweet Revenge

Chapter 1: Catching Fire

Why does love have to hurt? Why do men take you for regranted? How painful is it too love someone and yet he has loved someone else?

What did I lack? I was loyal to him yet he broke my heart. Are all men like that? Is that why niichan is also an idiot?

From this day forth, I shall not be deceived by men and their cruel ways. I will not blindly fall inlove with men who doesn't deserve me. Mark my words.

Alyssa closed her diary and opened her drawer. She pulled out a huge photo album and a box. She opened her photo album and tears fell on it. She browsed the album and took a look at each picture. There were photos of herself with her three ex-boyfriends. Three days ago, Bernard, now her ex-boyfriend, was with another girl. She took all the photos, put them in at one side and burned them. "His new girl was a pretty and hot one,"she thought. She put her glasses on and looked at herself on the mirror. 

Alyssa has long pink wavy hair that she usually puts in a ponytail. Behind her glasses were her pretty purple eyes. She was wearing a green turtle neck shirt and blue jogging pants. "No wonder those jerks left me," she cried on the floor due to this realization. Will there be any chance for me to ever become beautiful? she thought. She never knew that since she doesn't really care about her looks and she had no time to actually mind it since money is a real issue in her life today.

She sat back on her chair and held the box. She was shaking while she was doing so. Tears suddenly fell, she threw the box aside and cried on her desk. "I hate men! I hate them I hate them!"

She heard a knock on her door. "Aly-chan!" her brother called out. She wiped her tears and stood up to open her door. "Aly-chan," he said when Alyssa finally opened the door. He smiled and attempted to hug her but she evaded his hug. "What is it?" she said in a demanding voice. 

Albert Mystere, 26 years old, is Alyssa's older brother who is currently jobless. He has yellow hair and deep set of purple eyes. He is a skirt chaser and gets scolded a lot by her own imouto (younger sister) because he keeps flirting with girls which usually ends up with him losing his jobs.

"I have good news for you, Aly-chan," he said confidently. Alyssa crossed her arms and raised her eyebrow as she looked at her goofy brother. "I finally got a job!" he announced to her. He was waiting for her reaction but she didn't move a muscle. Suddenly her facial expression changed. This is the moment I've been waiting for! he thought. "Oh my gosh! I'm going to be late," she said and went back to her room. "Yes! oh my gosh... Say what?" he said confused. She grabbed her backpack and dashed to the front door. She stop by the their refrigerator and posted something. "Just read what I left you on the fridge," she shouted out before she left.

Albert just watched her go and banged his head on the wall. "Why is it fate will not allow me to tell my sister anything?" he said. "Oh well... She's going to have a surprise of her life," he grinned wickedly and made a evil laugh. "Bwahahaha!!!"

Alyssa ran as fast as she could to Vanilla Latte, a coffee/pastry shop that she has been working part time. She braced herself as she made her way to a shortcut. My boss will kill me! I'm so dead!

In Vanilla Latte.

A tall lady with shoulder length brown hair was waiting near the back door. She was wearing a blue pencil skirt and blue vest with Vanilla Latte logo over a white blouse. She checks the time.

"I wonder what happened to Alyssa-chan?" she said to herself. *Creek* *Bang* She heard something fell and it was panting. She turned around and saw a pink-haired girl who was gasping for air. "Alyssa-chan!" she said as she helps her stand up. "Madam M-manager... I'm so s-sorry I-I'm late," Alyssa gasped.
