Hey guys!

This is my first time writing so please go easy on me. Please do point out my mistakes, grammatical or plot-related. English is not my first language either; so expect some grammatical mistakes here and there.

I've been wanting to write something for a pretty long time, but didn't know how to start exactly. Once I did start, however, Wattpad decided it would be a nice idea to delete two chapters I had already written. I, for some reason hadn't saved my files on Word despite guessing the risk already. I guess I simply didn't want to put it in a word file...that doesn't even make any sense.

Another thing you'll probably have bear with would be two characters sounding similar. I'm not good at writing from different characters' perspectives, so I decided I would go with something that's canon already.

Anyways, I've been rambling on for quite a while now, so on the story. Enjoy~

Kei Karuizawa's POV

She hated this act. It felt despicable. But she had to do this for herself. No one would protect her; the Knight in Shining Armor only exists in fairy tails, not in the real world. In the real world, you have to stand up for yourself, because nobody else will. Only you, yourself have the power to protect yourself.

And yet...even though she knew she was doing this to protect herself, that there was no other option to save herself, she couldn't help but feel the pain in her heart whenever she saw someone being bullied, or bullying them herself.

Her heart's walls slowly began breaking. She wanted to help them. She didn't want this to happen. This was all wr-

No.

No. She shouldn't think like that. She had to give herself priority first.

It was so unfair.

She always stood up to the bullies, but it only made her suffering even worse. After a while, she just stopped. She would be silent and never give them the satisfaction they wanted; it would automatically drive them away.

It didn't succeed. This only infuriated them more, and the bullying got worse than ever.

Flashback

'Aki-san! You shouldn't hit that girl, she did nothing wrong! Please apologize.'

That was when it all started. She went from being the smart, peaceful girl that was the light of her class to being the girl everyone picked on.

Even the girl she defended joined in.

She couldn't understand. She only did what was right. Nobody, not even one of her friends, stood up to Aki-san's group. Crying into the pillow every night...
