since we're just dropping stories of romantic failures.
here's my contribution, so gather around kids i have a story to tell you
.
.
it goes all the way back to 3rd grade.
I have this japanese exchange student whom I get along with really well, she doesnt know how to speak english nor my native language so i speak to her with gestures and minimal japanese i learn from watching anime. she's had a pretty sad school like when she transferred in considering no one talks to her and pretty much avoids her because of the language barrier, and obviously me being the absolute "can't have that shit like this happening to someone" (also because im a fucking weeb) i approached her and talked to her.
since then I've become her first ever friend in school, and I became her chaperone to help her get around the school and practically her go to guy when she needs help with something and conveniently enough the teachers found out and sat me next to her, i remember when she intentionally drops her pencil case so i would pick it up for her. and me teaching her how to speak my native language.
thinking about it i think i was the only person in school who she addressed with by their first name.
anyway, its 5th grade now and she can speak minimal english and my native language now.
and that dreaded day came....
the teachers decide to arrange the seats in class and i'm seated away from her, i remember that day vividly because she was crying really hard and hated that im seated away from her.
obviously I comforted her and told her that it not going to be that bad, and im always going to be there anyway, we can still hangout during recess.
fast forward a bit.
its summer and obvious i'm a dumb brat so i had to attend summer classes.
she was attending it too (which i found out later she really didnt need to, she just does it to see me or hangout with me).
fast forward a bit more its 6th grade now.. graduation time...
we did the graduation ceremony thingy majingy and goes on our seperated ways.
2 years later, it hit me and realize that this whole time she was flirting with me and dropping obvious hints the whole damn 4 years we've been classmates. and me being the dense motherfucker i am did not get the fucking hint, so in those 4 years i could have been dating a Kawaii japanese school girl.
