Gah…I'm not sure how this chapter is going to end up, but I hope it is ok.

Wake Me Up With Summer Rain
Story 4: Love is Blind, Obviously

"But love is blind, and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit." William Shakespeare

Sometimes I wonder about my life if I have never met any girls. I mean, my first crush…well, she hated my guts. My next one, and possibly was my first love, I hurt so badly, I wonder sometimes about it.

We had a weird relationship that was for sure. We mostly just talked, took many walks around Konoha, we sparred with one another and a few others and looked over the Hokage Monument. Not much. Both of us weren't heavy daters.

Some people referred us as opposites. I thought she was...well, I was only 12 and didn't get girls, so I thought of her as weird. But then, so am I.

She was introverted, gentle, and had a knack of seeing things others can't. I looked at her, years later, somewhat the ideal nurse you see at the hospital in one of Ero-sennin's books. Of course, when he tried to write her in his book, I knocked him into a hospital bed for several months.

I don't want her to be degraded to be one of the girls Ero-sennin would flirt and be forever remembered in his trashy books. Many would agree with me.

However, I do know this.

I really don't know much about girls and probably never will.

I guess I'm saying that if I have never met any girls, I don't think I'll understand anything in the world. Ever.

I suck at explaining myself. Why can't she hate my guts? At least then I would know what I did wrong and then I can try to fix it. Unfortunately, she still likes me. And same goes for me.

Our love life sucks but it is better than nothing.

END NOTES: It's pretty short, but it does reflect the confusion of the storyline.
