Honestly, I don't know if I should continue this or not. I wanted to take an attempt at a romance, but my inner fantasy took over and in my eyes, it doesn't look all that good. It's unpolished, mostly since I rushed it, but if you want more please comment and tell me what I should change or polish.

You know, it feels sad. To love somebody, but knowing that you'll never be able to get them to love you. To feel the jealousy inside when they flirt with someone else. Sometimes, it's better off to discard some feelings. Those that could hurt you, emotionally.

I've had many loves over the past few years, but those were nothing more than lust. After longing for someone that I truly loved, I finally found who I thought to be her. She was beautiful. Her long, black hair, flowing through the wind made me feel blessed to see such an angel.

But life obviously wasn't something so simple. She already had a person she loved, and regarded me as only a friend.

Even though I felt betrayed, I soon came to my senses and realized that I was in the wrong. No matter who they were, they could choose who they wanted to be with. No one in this world could be truly shackled from their will.

It was a love triangle, one that was very one-sided. They both adored each other, while I was simply a bystander. Mixed feelings went through my brain every day, and eventually I kept my distance. We stopped talking to each other, cutting off all ties.

What was worth something that was hurting me? How could I dream of staying friends with the woman I loved? We parted ways without saying a word, however I could never release the memory of her from my heart.

Two years had past, and we were in our final year of high school. Those two were still together, and I tried to simply avoid them. Seeing them made my heart ache inside, burning my chest in an indescribable way.

Though, my gaze always eventually wandered and I found myself looking at her. Jealousy once again taking place, I had decided to leave the room. There were only two more years left, and I had endured it all this time. Perhaps I could still go through for the remainder.

Usually, I stayed in the library during lunch, pretending to my homework while actually browsing my phone looking at useless memes. They made for a good time-waster, something I really needed.

The school bell rang loudly, indicating that it was time to go to class. This was the worst part. This time, I couldn't hide. Those two would be in my sight for more than a whole hour, flirtatiously looking at each other.

While everyone else loved the fact that they were a couple, I despised it. It wasn't comfortable, and I had thoughts of skipping this class several times, but eventually given up since I decided that grades were more important than love.

I kept my head down, quietly doing my work. Once in a while, I took a peek at her, but it wasn't long before I withdrew my gaze. We learned quite a bit in this class, although I wasn't paying attention to anything.

After a gruelling three hours, all the classes had finally ended and we were allowed to go home. I took the bus home, and I knew that she was also going to board that specific bus. After all, we only lived about two stops from each other.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

I had the thought of talking to her, but I immediately threw it away. I still hadn't learned to let go of the past. It made me feel despicable, trying to ruin another relationship yet also trying to protect my feelings.

The bus finally arrived, and I was talking to my friend as we boarded. He was the type of person that didn't care about much except having fun and games. He would literally play a game for twelve hours straight without stopping, without even the slightest bags under his eyes.

Even though some people found him weird, he was one of my closest friends, someone I could trust. He knew my situation, but never once brought it up. He was always babbling about how he had the worst rng luck in the entire universe, something I could honestly care less about, but since he was my friend, I listened to him anyways.

My stop came by and I got off. Like always, I took a look back at the bus, hoping that she would notice me. And... Nope. Never mind then.

I walked through the neighbourhood, reminiscent of the past where I had those special memories deeply engraved in heart but they were no more.

Trees beautifully wavered along with the wind, each leaf rustling, making a soft chime. I closed my eyes, gracefully taking in the sound. I felt at ease with nature, it was something that could calm me no matter the circumstances.

Before long, I went back home and plopped down at my bed. I felt like forgetting all my worries, wanting to drift away from reality. Honestly, it would be better if I had some indications. Give me a hint at least...

I fell asleep quickly, but minutes later I was interrupted. Who could it be at this point in time. Both of my parents were at work, and I should be the only or person to have a key. Sensing something wrong, I jumped up in shock and prepared to fight a burglar.

I hastily stood up and looked around. I expected to see a middle aged man in a ski mask, but all I saw a small person cosplaying as some reaper of death.

"What are you doing here? How did you even get in here? Get lost!"

They smiled, punched me in the chest, and then quickly left.

What was that all about?

Just as I thought that, the pain in my chest suddenly grew several folds stronger. I could no longer breathe for a few seconds. It was as if the devil had possessed my body.

That person! They must have done something! I screamed at the top of my lungs, suffering under the unknown effects.

After an hour of enduring the hellish pain in my body, it finally stopped, but I could no longer move, so I collapsed. I still had a slight consciousness, so I tried to keep my eyes open for as long as I could.

Just as I was about to pass out, I sensed something forming around my neck. It was blue and red, shaped like a flame. Was that... A necklace?

-------------

As you can see (or read), I'm planning to have an adventure-esque type story where necklaces determine their fate and whatnot. They will also gain magical powers depending on their necklace. Don't know if this will work, so please comment what I should polish and if I should continue with this story. I might re-make this chapter if I do decide to continue.
