It was bright and sunny day; perfect for a date at the park. Alone on a bench, I sat there fidgeting. I was nervous.

Really nervous.

This is, like, our fifteenth date, probably? Um, I'm not sure but whatever.

Looking around once more for him, I released a sigh of relief seeing that he isn't here yet. He's late, I thought. I took out my phone and checked. No calls, no messages.

"Maybe I'm just early," I told myself and looked around again. "Maybe a little too early."

Tapping my foot rapidly on the ground, thoughts filled my head making me feel anxious. I mean, what if he doesn't like what I'm wearing? What if I mess up during the date? What if I say something stupid in front of him? There are so many 'what ifs'! I should be used to this whole date thing by now, but he's the first guy who I actually dated without my mom coming along or passing by from time to time to check on us. Seriously, it's just so embarrassing when she was around. But that was during grade school. Now I'm in high school and she finally gave me my space. Thank God!

Still waiting, I made myself occupied by roaming my eyes around the peaceful area. Ten minutes have passed and he still isn't here yet.

"Okay, I've had enough of it!" I exclaimed and began texting him. It was a good thing that not much people were in the park today. If they saw me talking to myself, they'd probably think I'm a complete weirdo and people wouldn't let their kids come near me anymore. That would suck for me.

Just when I was about to hit the send button, a tall, cool-looking guy with dark brown hair just happened to arrive. I smiled like crazy when my eyes met his.

"Y-you're here!" I stuttered as I frantically stood up.

"Yeah," that's all he said.

"So where should we---"

"I want to talk to you about something." With those words, my heart began to pound. I don't know why but I felt like something bad was gonna happen.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder roared. It was weird because the weather earlier was perfect, but now the sky is beginning to darken and more clouds were starting to appear.

"I think we should---"

"This'll be quick."

We sat on the bench and he began speaking.

"Look, you're a nice person, but it's... Well, how do I put this. It's not about you, it's me. A few things have been going on lately and my emotions are starting to change just recently. I mean, it's just... Well... I'll just get to the point."

Taking a deep breath then letting it out, he looked at me coldly in the eyes. It was a look that he never showed me before.

"I'm breaking up with you." Hearing that sentence, I felt my heart starting to break.

"Wh-why..? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, it's just--- I think we need to see other people." Suddenly, his phone started ringing and he picked it up, answering the incoming call. After he hung up, he got up to his feet and looked down at me.

"I'm sorry, but this is for the best." Then turned around and left.

I didn't look at him. I didn't stare at him like I usually do. I didn't watch him leave because watching him walk away knowing that he wouldn't turn around and come back, or even just look back, was the most painful thing for me right now. Everything else that were on my mind are gone. I was focused on the present---the painful present that I'm in right now.

Why? Why would he break up with me if I have done nothing wrong? Why would he decide something like that so suddenly? Why did he just leave me?

Just then as I stood up, raindrops started to pour down all of a sudden. But I didn't care. I was just too heartbroken to care about myself who was soaking wet. I didn't care if I'd get sick, I didn't care if Mom would scold me for staying out under the rain, I didn't care if I wouldn't able to attend school tomorrow.

Head drooping down and facing the ground, tears began to fill my eyes and then I was crying silently.

"I hate you, Matt West!" I screamed out. "I hate you so much!"

On that day, I swore to myself that I'd change. I won't be that stupid, gullible, childish girl, I won't be that girl who thought that life would be all rainbows, ice cream, and unicorns.

And I won't be that girl who made a big mistake that lead her heart broken ever again.
