Betrayal?

He knew it was a betrayal to long for someone's else's girl.
Well, she wasn't quite with him. Sometimes he wonder if she liked his friend at all. She did sometimes hit him with blunt objects. But then again, she only did when he said or did something really stupid. Unfortunately for Mantaro, he said or acted really stupid quite often.
It wasn't like he didn't have a chance at all.
He know that thought was a betrayal too. Mantaro didn't have a whole lot of options. Roxanne was probably his best bet. She was able to tolerate a lot of stupidity, something Mantaro's girl would need.
He had a lot more fans then Mantaro. Ladies (and some gentleman) set fan letters, flowers, chocolates, and sometime personal garments on a weekly basis. (He would have rather they held out from sending the undergarments, especially from the male fans)
He knew it was a betrayal to write "secret admirer" letter stating all of Roxanne's grand qualities, and often included a account of how she stop that escaped Rhino from damaging the city. He knew this was a betrayal despite the fact he had written many, he hadn't sent a single one.
He knew that it was a betrayal for Terry Steven Kenyon to long for Roxanne Nikaidou.
