I won't stop
If walking next to me was enough to satisfy her, where did the bold girl who declared her intention to steal me go? It’s not even a day and she’s already like this.
Despite her continuous effort to never admit defeat and stand back up, the way she got reduced to this girl devoid of her earlier boldness somehow disappointed me a little.
But thinking about it, it’s the result of everything I did and showed to her. Especially that brief moment we shared before returning to the classroom. My words made her disheartened enough resulting in the girl temporarily stopping her advances.
Nonetheless, I still believed that she needed to hear that from me. Otherwise, she might be chasing the shadows of my past and not the present me.
With that said, it’s also not wrong to say that I got her rather strong advance thwarted on the first day of our battle. Whether she continues in her endeavor to steal me or not, it wouldn’t change my decision to get her back.
