"You bored?' a man with piercing blue eyes stood in front of me, offering a hotdog on stick. I smiled,speechl.ess.Boy! were those pink braces.

"No, that's fine bryan!' I replied a little too quickly. I saw him stare at the ground for a second.He looked up at me and grinned

"Bad choice,isn't it?" He asked nervously. I didn't get what he meant. "Huh?umm.. I like hotdogs.'I managed to conjure a smile. "I didn't mean that.I meant this date." He tried to let out a giggle but it sure wasn't working for him."Look, everything has been so wonderful, the food was great, the restaurant was wonderful.You treated me like I was a princess and I loved that but maybe."I paused for a while to find the appropriate words to say. "We just don't click"he ended the sentence for me and I felt terrible.He was such an amazing person, a perfect gentleman in every sense kinda how I imagined my dream guy to be but no matter what I did I simply didn't feel any chemistry between us. This was all Tutor girls fault.

"Brooke, it was a pleasure meeting you." He held my hand and kissed it lightly. "Likewise" I said, barely audible. He lead me to my car. I got onto the drivers seat as fast as I could.I couldn't bare feeling like I was the most evil person in the world , even worse compared to Arnold S. in Batman..In fairness, he was steaming hot! "Brooke!" he called out. I immediately, rolled down my window."Yah?"I asked curiosly. "You are just so beautiful" he said sweetly and my heart beat quickly.I didn't know what to say."You are too!" I didn't recognize that the voice was my own. Crap! What did i say?That was so stupid and EMBARRASING. With that, he left with a bewildered expression on his face while i was still trying to come up with a reasonable excuse for why i uttered such words.

What was so wrong with me? Did I pass up on love? Maybe, I was just not ready to enter a relationship after what happened between me and Lucas. It took 6 gorgeous looking men before I finally got over him and tonight I just added another one to my list. I'm going nuts. Now I understand, what haley meant by the SCOTT EFFECT.trust me. Its not nice. Its intoxicating me but I just keep on asking for more.

I tried to admire the sceneries as I was on my way home. The neighborhood seemed cozy. It was quiet. The trees swayed back and forth as if practicing for a dance fest. The glow of the moon was soothing, the darkness compelling. I liked this place. It felt different It felt so real .

After sometime alone, I finally got to my house.

As usually, I had about 10 newspapers laying on my lawn.Too much bloody hell news for me. I didn't want to read something that would make me feel more depressed than I already was.Boy! I sure wish i brought a jacket,considering i was wearning a backless top.GRHH!

Rummaging through my mailbox, I found a peculiar looking letter. The envelope was small with bright red glitters andit was entirelyBLACK. It had a picture of a shattered heart What the hell? This sure wasn't mailed. No stamps or return address.

I felt my heart racing. Was this a death threat?I swear I had been the nicest, less flirty girl for over 4 years now. Trembling, I stepped inside the house, still feeling chilly, but not really because of the weather.

I turned on my night lamp and stared at the letter which I had placed right in front of me.

C'mon, It's just a stupid letter, I convinced myself.

Slowly, I opened the envelope. My eyes lingered on the piece of paper. Shocked.!

Brooke,

It's a lie that love actually last forever. I don't believe in that. For me, It's simply crap. Relationships become boring and senseless. Sometimes, the only reason why it goes on is because you don't want to waste what you already have. You're afraid to let go coz you may not find someone like him but What the heck?Isn't that the main reason why you look for someone else.If you go finding a man like your previous one(you know what I mean) then its like having the same emotional conflict ,only with a different person. Brooke,you are a very intelligent woman. Don't crucify yourself.

Love,

Peyton

What the HELL?
