On the first day of the 2023-2024 school year, a girl was excited to reunite with her classmates, especially Yohan, her crush from last year. Keeping my feelings hidden, she tried chatting with him, but his responses were cold and sporadic.
Encouraged by her friends, she eventually confessed her feelings to Yohan during the third quarter. However, a girl soon discovered he was also chatting with another girl, from the class next door. Despite his assurances that they were just friends, it became clear he had feelings for her.
Realizing the truth, she decided to let him go and wished him well with the other girl. This painful experience taught me the importance of recognizing red flags and valuing my own worth.
