Author's POV

Margarette drifted away in her dreams, she's on the same place and on the same time. She knows where she is, the place that appears on her dream whenever her birthday comes. She felt the cold breeze touching her gentle skin. Puzzled, Margarette notice the white dress she's wearing..The glitters looks like a diamond shining as the rays of the sun struck her dress.

She saw the big tree again, it's the only trees on the field where she is. Excitement took over her feelings as she saw the man leaning on the tree.

Margarette walks toward the direction where the tree as if he knows the man under it.

"Zachary" she mumbled..The man open his eyes look at her and smiled.

"It's you again." he stand and the sunlight brushed his white skin so does the wind touches his curly hair..

"So it's your 18th birthday" he said

"And yours too" Margarette added

"Yes it is" he smirked..

Zachary look at her from head to toe which make it Margarette felt the awkwardness..

"You have grown into a flower now, weren't you?" he was dazzled of the white dress that she wore..and walk toward her closely..

Zachary got something in his pocket and took her hand.."I've missed you, this was for you Margarette"

It was a bracelet filled with sapphire stone around it.

"It matches your eyes" he smiled and look at her eyes.

"Thanks," but sadness filled her eyes knowing she can't have them when she wakes up. " It's been a year, your hair is longer compare the last time i saw you"

"Should i cut them?" he asked

"No! I mean it suits you,its nice and curl and long "

she explained, Zachary grinned and look at her with curiousity..he look at her lips which turn Margarette's cheek red..he slowly leaning his face towards her..

"Are you going to kiss me?" Margarette ask nervously which made him stop..

"Do you want me to kiss you?" he whisper

She remember the first time they saw each other, It's been eight years. They were both ten years old enjoying the scenery under the tree that happen only once a year.

Margarette nodded softly and slowly closed her eyes. They both hear each others heart beats.. Zachary's eyes closed when his nose touches hers.

Another inch and their lips will be united..

Wake up! Wake Up! It's a brand new day

Wake up! Wake Up! It's a brand new day

Wake up! Wake Up! It's a brand new day

Margarette startled, it's her 8 am alarm, she located her phone and turn it off immediately. The redness of her cheeks still lingers. She cupped her face with her hands with shame and disappointment.

"What the heck happened" she told herself
