Last Secrets

Chapter 23: whut

Tracie entered the house and changed into her pajamas.She took her dinner with her family before going to her room.She packed her bag and did her homework.Just as she snuggled into her bed,she decided to read a bit before sleeping.She then realises she had did not have it with her.So with a frown,she slept.

The next day,she woke up extra early,got ready and went out to the balcony.She took a long look at the view it had;Alexander's balcony.The view was not as magical as the view from the bench so she decided to visit the bench.She took her usual bag and told Papa,who was having his morning coffee,that she was going for a walk.Papa reminded her to not be late as she still has school.

The sun has not risen so the atmosphere of the morning was dim but gradually got brighter.Tracie walked with a spring in her step.She reached the park and went straight for the bench and checked for any note.

What a coincidence!So I have to make a corsage for my date?Cool.Great to hear you have got yourself a boyfriend.Hope both of you last long -Mr. Anonymous

Tracie read the small note and thought for a while before starting to write her reply.

Do you think we could meet or something?At prom maybe?Im super interested to talk to you in person.But if you don't want to it's perfectly fine hahaha -Miss Secrets

Tracie folded her note and stuck it under the bench and kept the note from Mr. Anonymous in her wallet.She speed walked home for it was almost 7AM.She reached home and freshened up before getting herself some breakfast in the the kitchen.A while later,the doorbell rang and Tracie knew it was Alexander.She told Momma she was leaving and out she went.

Both of them got into the car and Alexander drove them to school.That day was the day where Alexander was in most of her classes so the day went perfectly fine.She avoided Max Owen at all cost.

D-10 → PROM

And days fly by and it was 10 days away from prom.Tracie finally got the chance to read the brochure.The theme was “Colour Me Paris -This is not your ordinary Paris, this is Paris in Neon!”Her relationship with Alexander was still going strong.They had dates like almost everyday from their balconies,where they would call each other and talk or sometimes discuss about books and all.But there were zero replies from Mr. Anonymous.Tracie wrote and wrote but there were often no reply.Tracie decided to check out the bench after school today for Alexander has his club activities and is unable to drive her home.She took the bus with her head clouded with thoughts about Mr. Anonymous and prom.

Tracie reached the bench and sat down.She checked for any note but was met with dissappointment.She buries her face in her hands as she thought all the possible reasons why Mr. Anonymous was ignoring her.Could it be he is not a guy?Could it be he is not a student?Could it be he died?

Tracie striked out the last option as her notes were not there when she checked.She was deep in thoughts when she felt a presence next to her.She looked up.
