Overcoming yourself!!

Hello everyone!! How is everyone doing? Hope you had a great Monday, and I know you will have a great Tuesday!!!😀

I didn't want to write anything serious today. I just wanted to write something similar to my other article, "First love letter." 

"They say to impress her, I had to make her smile, but anytime I see her I am the ones that smiles".

No matter how much you love someone, it doesn't guarantee they will love you back; the question I always ask myself is, "How do you know when someone Loves you." Do they look at you differently, or is it by their behavior.

I am still in high school, so I don't really know how Love works, but I guess it's complicated!!

I wanted to write a story about a friend who encountered this feeling called "Love" hope you enjoy it!!

"No matter what I do she doesn't notice me" what do I do for her to notice me, I have had these feelings for three years, but I don't know how to tell her.

I looked at him as he said, "Three years" I wondered how someone could love another for that long. The only person I could love for that long was my Mother.

Over the years, I had seen my once lazy friend who had no excitement about life change.

He had become a totally different person, was more active in classes, started socializing a little bit, and even stopped slouching. 

I thought to myself, this feeling called "Love" how great it is to have changed someone like him.

He was good-looking, but he never tried his best to talk with others because he always thought people were snakes!! (Back to the story)

As she passed, he gazed at her. 

She came to us and did her usual, teasing him and ensuring he had a great day.

Even though I didn't know what "Love" was, I could tell that she was fond of him. "Everyone knew this except for him".

She was a Senior, and he was her Junior, so I guess he could never sum up the courage to ask her out, but as a friend, I kept pushing him to take action before it was late.

The year was 2020, and It was our school's sports festival. Every athlete was preparing to showcase their skills.

"Here are some of my beloved sponsors; if you like my content, I guarantee you would love theirs, for they are my source of inspiration and keep me going. Thank you, guys. I love you!!"

I was not a sports person, neither was my friend, but for some reason, he chose to participate in the 100m, 200m, and relay race.

This was a guy that couldn't even run 50m without resting, lol.

When I asked him why he chose to participate, he gave me his usual smile and said, "I am a man". 

"What a weird thing to say," I thought; you have never even completed a 50m run, and you are going for consecutive races.

In my mind, I knew why he was doing it; that's why I chose not to stop him because when he makes up his mind about something, he never goes back.

His favorite Motto was from the Anime "Naruto": "I never go back on my word! That's my nindo" Hehe, my friend was an Idiot, Lol.

The sports festival was approaching, and he trained vigorously to raise his stamina.

When all is said and done, we are all humans no matter how much we train; we all have limiters, he had never done this sort of thing before, and his body couldn't handle it.

We both knew that his body would fail him, but he kept on going and eventually got sick.

It was 4 days before the sports festival, and he was sick. 

I could see the dejected look on his face even without seeing his face. 

I asked him what he planned to do, and as always, he gave me a usual smile and said, " Have I ever gone back on my word" at this point, there was nothing I could do because he had already set his mind on this.

I arrived at the sports festival early; it was filled with many students and parents who wanted entertainment.

Me being the lazy and unsociable person, went to sit in a corner and play some games.

It was time, I came early, but I couldn't see my friend and I was worried.

The first event was the marching session; different sports group presented their marching.

I was shocked to see my friend participating in the marching as the banner holder!! "What is he doing there," I thought.

Marching had ended, and it was time for the running.

I moved my chair closer to watch; I was smiling when I saw him at the runner's post preparing to showcase his skills.

We both knew what would happen, but we still chose to continue.

"Bang," and they started running, it was the 100m race, and he already took 4th.

I wanted to cry, but I stayed strong for him; when he came to rest with me, I applauded him for trying and told him to get ready for the 200m race.

"Bang," and the race began; this time, it was the 200m race, I could tell he was not feeling well, but he kept on running until he fell down and collapsed.

I was not surprised to see this because I knew it would happen sooner or later.

He was rushed to the sickbay, I went to meet him, and I could see the sad look on his face when I entered.

He had tears around his eyes, but he held them back.

I asked him why he was doing this to himself, but he raised his fist up and told me, " Is there any man that needs a reason to overcome himself."

I hugged him and left him to rest.

To be Continued
