Disclaimer: I do not own WITCH.
Inferior
By: Kadeana
Why do they treat me so? Am I deemed unworthy? Are my feelings not worth respecting?
I am her shoulder to cry on when she can't reach him. I hold her just as tight if not tighter. I worship the ground she walks on. When I first saw her I thought the sun had manifested itself into this perfect girl.
I would die for her in an instant. The sad fact about that is she'd probably step on my broken body to get to him.
They both are so beautiful. Naturally, they'd get together. A beautiful collision.
Chemistry and feelings of a homely best friend be damned.
He had to know I wanted her. He had to! I made a fool of myself using the very earth words he recited to me earlier, that fatefully day, trying to impress her. I added my own touch to it and everything. I do not try to impress girls. He knows that. He stood there as I tried to impress her.
He had to know I loved her.
I did get her attention that way, but not in the way that I wanted.
Caleb and I are basically the same man. The only difference is he's easy on the eyes and I, apparently, am not.
I would choose the fair Cornelia over Meridian in a heartbeat, but I don't have green eyes. My skin is slightly that color, but the feature is not handsome on me.
I would die for one kiss, but I don't have wavy brown hair. I have brown eyes, but brown is not handsome on me.
I would slay a thousand dragons to stay a single tear from those blue eyes, but I am not handsome. Not to the girl who matters most.
I would do anything to trade bodies with Caleb. I would love Cornelia the way a creature so lovely deserves. Her happiness would be my key objective, every hour of every day.
I love her with every fiber of my being, but I am not handsome to her.
I never felt ugly until I met her. I never felt inferior until I met her.
I never felt so betrayed the day he decided to pursue her.
If matters aren't already bleak enough, he comes to me for advice when he has problems with her. She comes to me for the same reason.
They will not give me peace. They only care about their own feelings. Mine don't matter. They never did.
She knows I love her.
He knows I love her.
Yet, they display their affections in front of all of us. In front of me.
I answered my own question. My feelings aren't worth respecting…
Oh the torment it feels to be inferior…
Author's Notes: Stories by Sokai and Seniya inspired me to write this. I think I'd like or at least respect the character Cornelia more if the writers had pursued a romance between Aldarn and she. She would not seem so shallow. I like Aldarn. He's adorable. I wanted to hug him when he tried to flirt with her. He might as well been trying to reach another Solar System.
