" Even as I stand beside her ready to protect her, she still never sees me."
- Halcyon Evenfall
After Aikido training, I approached
the taekwondo training grounds. We
trained kicks together with my
friends. We also spar which I found
difficult because I don't have control
over my movements. I didn't actually
attack I just evaded and blocked the
attacks. It was actually fun and I
learned tornado kicks which I also
learned that it was an easy kick to
counter so it might be useful in
tournaments but not outside.
After training I approached her and
ask her if we were going to
accompany her home. She told me she
was going to join her friends but after
she told me that I said something
dumb. I told her my roommate was
waiting for her to accompany her
home. She was really annoyed at me
and said " You don't have to
accompany me like I am your
obligation, why don't you two just go
back to your place". She's harsh and
when I said goodbye to her, she didn't
respond.

I noticed she always respond happily
whenever my roommate was around
but for me, she was always either
looking serious or very annoyed at
me. It really made me feel dejected.
Maybe I shouldn't pursue her
anymore. I don't even think she has a
slightest interest to me. But if my
roommate broke her heart, it would
be also painful for me because I failed
to protect her. I don't really know
what to do anymore.

I am already seeing how it end and it
wouldn't end us together happy even
though I don't want her to get hurt, I
am afraid to get hurt by her too. My
heart was broken many times already
because the girls that I used to like
back in high school always end up
with my adversary. They were really
popular and I am just an ordinary
student. I was used, manipulated and
my emotions were being toyed. Up
until now, I still feel self pity. I didn't
want to get myself hurt but I didn't
want her to be hurt either I didn't
know what to do anymore

But when I chatted her, she answered
rudely to me. I didn't know why but I
am having an idea that my reputation
to her might be rotten because of my
roommate. But she didn't have to
treat me that way. Somehow I feel like
a fool. Maybe she was really just being
friendly to me in order to recruit me
in taekwondo. Little by little, I think I
am seeing her true intentions.
