Arc 1: childhood

In many books, manga,Manhwa and light romance novels have the protagonist and the heroine that the two meet throughout the story and fall in love over the course of the plot.

In the light novel I'm reading it's completely different, the heroine makes the protagonist go in search of her, that he desires her and looks only at her. How they met is shown throughout the story, but because story novels are moreperfect than the ones in real life? 2d girls are more perfect than 3d (real) girls, I fell in love with a romance manga that was originally a light novel and was adapted into a manga, it tells the story of the heroine who goes in search of her beloved, however, her shyness and lack of courage, make her run from him and make him look for her, until in the end they meet and fall in love, and the hero chooses to stay with her alone and their relationship overcomes all the problems that came later their union.

There was a phrase that the hero once said to the heroine: "love is born from small actions".

I thought a lot and I think to this day what this phrase meant, or what he wanted to reveal to her, however, what he really wanted to say I don't think I will be able to understand until I fall in love with someone. How would it be if I found the love of my life, would it be so easy or would it be difficult to conquer her? I remember this morning well, one strange thing or several strange things happened one after the other.

***

First, my classmate who never bothered to say a word to me all these years and this morning, asked me if everything was fine with me, if I had accepted it right away or if I was still "depressed" with the situation that happened.

I didn't understand anything at first, so I decided to ask him what happened, but I don't know if it was deliberate or intentional, but Júlia immediately appeared behind me.

"Brother, what's this about you proposing to the most popular girl in school in the park last night?" - she said.

When she said that, I couldn't believe my ears, it felt like I had been "shocked" or punched in the stomach because I was paralyzed and all I could think was "what's going on?" A strong stomach pain hit me and I ran to the bathroom, while I was washing my hands the lunch bell rang, I left the bathroom confused and as I walked down the hall, I heard whispers from the other students talking about me, or I think it was me.

***

When the bell rang for lunchtime I headed to my favorite spot in the school yard and sitting under that tree in the schoolyard, I was having lunch and I don't know why, but the most popular girl in school sat next to me. On the other hand, we had never talked, I didn't even know her name but I knew that she was famous among everyone for excelling in studies, sports and the activities of the swimming club she participated in, I didn't know much about her or rather I wasn't interested not knowing anything about her so I didn't even know her name or anything, while I was having lunch she turned to me and stared at me, at first I didn't care, after a while it started to bother me, I looked at her and for 1 The minute she felt our eyes meet, she turned her face away in embarrassment.

"Excuse me, may I know why you're looking at me so much?" Is there something on my face? - I asked.

I tried to break the silence that reigned, bringing up a subject, she just looked at her skirt and hid her face with her beautiful red curls, her embarrassed face made her beauty radiant,

"Is this serious? A girl as beautiful as this, is she on my side? It looks like she wants to say something to me but doesn't have the courage or doesn't know how to say it. What is it? - I thought as I admired her beautiful face.

"If you look at me that much, I'll be embarrassed." - she said.

Her voice came out almost stuttering, how in sync we turned our faces to opposite directions at the same time, in all this situation the end of lunch bell rang and I couldn't even have lunch, I tried to eat lunch as fast as I could, she took herself cleaning dust on her skirt and a note fell from her skirt as she ran away.

I picked up the note and it said "meet me behind the school after class. signed Rafaela" I don't think she dropped it on purpose but, that was really weird. I ran to the classroom as fast as I could so as not to get scolded or fouled by the teacher.

Reflecting on that note, I was distracted the whole class and as if it were a blink of an eye the day passed and the classes ended, the time for deciding whether or not I was going to the place arrived, could it be that before the start of the summer vacation, will i have a romance?

What will happen in this conversation? Afraid of what would happen there, and quite nervous I also took quick steps, turning the block she had her back to me, the breeze was blowing in her skirt and caressing her beautiful hair.

"I'm here, what business do you have with me?" - he said without hesitation.

And as if she was angry she grabbed my tie and pulling it down she faced me, her face so close to mine and her sweet smell made me dizzy.

"Do girls really smell like that?" - I thought.

As she tugged at my tie.

"I-Excuse me, if you don't mind, could you loosen my tie, it's suffocating me," I told her.

In order for her to release me. Gradually her hand let go of my tie and she looked deep into my eyes.

"Are you the one spreading this news, that you declared yourself to me, and I dumped you? - she said.

After saying that, his angry expression changed to one of shame, and his gaze fixed on mine seemed to take a different turn.

I promptly countered her accusation by saying that I didn't even know she existed until that moment, her hand closed in the shape of a fist and she hit me in the stomach with a punch, I knelt down in pain, her face started to run down tears and she ran away while I was crying, I felt tightness in my chest I had never made a girl cry, what do I do? Do I apologize to her, or do I try to justify myself? what if she hits me with that power punch of hers again? It's time to go home, as I head home I think more about the situation and make a decision about what to do.

Upon opening my closet. A small picture fell out, in it I was holding hands with a girl, her face was blurred with a flash of light.

— Eh?! I do not remember this. Who will this girl be? - he said while looking at that photo.

On the back of the photo was written: "We will be together forever."

- Wait! These words were what I said to him. How is it written on this photo? Who knows about this promise? - I wondered.

I packed my things and headed towards my house, what happened today and this photo make me think about what I do.

***

There were a lot of things that didn't fit and I didn't know what to do, this person who came out of nowhere, seems like he's known me for years and is playing mind games with me, I suck at these games and I hope this person shows up soon .

What happened today made me feel bad, I made a girl cry what kind of person I had become, not to mention that the chance to live a romance was also lost, I am a failure even at failures, I will apologize to her when to see at school, this was a serious mistake to my pride as a man.

I confess that the moment she grabbed my tie I was scared of her, and I don't know why but her face changed to an embarrassed face as if she couldn't look me straight in the eyes, because she's one of the most popular girls in school I I think thatI'm going to catch a lot of df axishers and thisu atis afraid to go to school tomorrow.
