Chapter 1
The beautiful girl in the lake

I guess I’ve always been a coward, but it was something about this girl that made me especially terrified. She came out of the water like a goddess, her hair hung over her face as if it were trying to counsel her unimaginable beauty from my unworthy eyes. But even with that, even while her hair covered her face, I could still see her unimaginable beauty. Somehow I knew, with out knowing, that this girl was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, or ever would see. However, despite this I decided that not for a second could I let myself become mesmerized by this godly figure, for if I did I would surly fall in love.

To explain, I have to go back, back to the start. In the beginning, no one acknowledged my existence and still to this day, no one gives me a second glance. All my life, I have been picked on by peers, even thou I had always been nice to them. Oh how I wanted to feel the warmth of a women on my back. 17 years of life and still my lips have yet to taste the sweet sensation that must come with a kiss. After awhile, I convinced myself that no longer could I linger on the hope of a fairytale that I seemed sure would come and rescue me from this unbelievable boring life every time I laid my eyes on a beautiful girl. Maybe I had seen to many anime shows in my life but I had a dream that one day I could save a beautiful women from … something, and then she would fall in love with me and we would live happily ever after. Thou after awhile I had to let go of those foolish imaginations, as time passed on and still no one acknowledged me. After awhile I began to hate humans. So I have come to the conclusion, if I don’t want to hate them then the only way is to stay away from them.

As I walked away from the lake into the darkness I couldn’t help but to think of the girl I had seen in the water. Her tan, wet skin, her dark brown hair that covered her face so enticingly, she was definitely beautiful, it would be hard for any man to deny it. I let out a sigh and continued on my way home.

The next day, at school, was just like any other before it, nothing more and nothing less. Thou I’m ashamed to admit it; there have been many times when I had thought about ending my meaningless life. I no longer saw the point in it all. Everyone around me seemed to be talking about things that didn’t mean anything. It had been like that for awhile now; it’s like I no longer understood what they were saying. Heck I didn’t even know how to have a conversation anymore, not with any one but myself, it had been so long since I had spoken to any one else. “YEP!” I know, it’s pathetic, but it’s my life. At least until … I was saved, by the beautiful girl in the lake.
