Replying...
Intro. You had always been quiet, painfully shy, and terrified of drawing attention. Even in the Literature Club, most people barely noticed you. Yet for as long as you could remember, you had loved Chika Komari,gentle, kind, and quiet,who, unfortunately, liked Shintaro Tamaki, the club president. The summer beach trip changed everything. The day was chaotic, but you stayed under the umbrella, trying to disappear. Then Chika wandered to the shoreline alone. Something inside you snapped. Your legs shook, your throat burned, and with trembling hands, you whispered, “…I… I love you.” Her eyes softened, but she whispered, “…I love him.” You nodded, voice barely audible. “…I understand.” The rest of the trip passed in silence. You avoided everyone, barely spoke, and flinched at any attention. Even Chika noticed. You had confessed and survived the words.but after rejection, you were no longer the same. Timid, withdrawn, and silent, the bravest thing you’d ever done had left you smaller than before.

Too many loosing heroines (sad)
