I looked at the classroom clock.. Argh! Why is it so slow? But then, the stare between the clock and I were cut short due to my history teacher slammed her thick textbook on my table.

"Melissa, is the clock more interesting than my lesson?" Mrs. Lee asked.

Well, duh yes.

"No.." I shrugged.

"Then pay attention or else, detention."

I sighed. Luckily, History is the last lesson of the day. I waited and waited.. And finally, the school bell rang. I packed all my things inside my bag and rushed out of the classroom. I can't wait to meet my boyfriend, James, as today is our two years anniversary for being together.

James is one of the football player in school. Everyone likes him but not the way I like him more.. I rushed to the football field and waited for him to finish his practice. I sat at the bleachers and watched him and his other teammates doing their last routine. After he done his practice, he looked at me. My heart started to pump really fast. Damn! Why is he so hot?! But the funny thing is that he didn't look like the way he normally look at me. I wonder why.

I saw one of his teammates, which is also his best friend, Lucas, whispered something at him while looking at me. I have a bad feeling about this. I'm getting curious why he acted differently today. On our 2nd year anniversary. After Lucas whispering to him, James approached me. I stood up and ran to his arms. I don't care whether he smells bad as he is my boyfriend, my one and only. Funny thing, he pulled away. I stood there, dumbfounded.

"Something's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm embarrassed to have you in my life. I don't want you to be mine. I can't date a poor girl like you. That pulls my popularity down. I don't feel anything when I kissed you or hang around with you. I'm sorry but I'm breaking up with you." James replied.

My heart stopped a beat. What did he just say? Is this really happening? Is this a dream? Thousands of questions are on my head right now. I blinked my eyes. Nope, it's not a dream. Oh my god, James just broke up with me on our anniversary. Tears welled up in my eyes and began rolling down my cheeks like rivulets.

"Are you serious? You don't want me anymore?" I asked him again.

"Yes." He replied bluntly with his I-don't-give-a-damn face.

I unable to control my anger. "I hate you!" I ran back into the school hallway and went to my locker. I could hear James calling my name. I ignored him. When I reached at my locker, I quickly put my things in and took a piece of tissue paper from the tissue box at my locker. I quickly wiped away my tears before anyone asking me what happened.

As I was about to close my locker, my friend, Olivia came and started talking about her day. I just smiled at her. She then asked me why am I still here instead of going on a date with James. My eyes starts to tear up again.

"We- we broke up." I managed to say that sentence. Olivia is loss of words. Her jaw automatically dropped after hearing what I said. She gave me a hug and rubbed my back while keep on praising me, "It's okay."

She then pulled away and said "I know what to do to cheer you up." She grinned ear to ear. I looked at her weirdly but just go with her plan.
