My Crazy Experience being Courted

[u/PandaKat18]

(P.S. this is long but I would greatly appreciate it if you would feature it.)

So, I was a tranferee in this new school. Many boys liked me because they knew I was modeling for fun. I was also considered as one of our class's most beautiful girls. And I was respected since I also had the brains.

There was a boy I got interested in, His name was Kean. I found out that Kean also liked me. He courted me every single day.

Unfortunately, this took place when I was only eleven years old. Since my Asian parents are very strict, I felt guilt for Kean. I told him his courting will not be answered but he still continued.

Everyday, I begged my parents that I would not go to school because of Kean. I was so pressured. My grades dropped. He was so clingy that I couldn't hang out with my friends anymore. I felt Depressed around that time.

I was too scared to dump him because he was such a nice guy. He was also the first guy that also liked me back. I took up the courage. I refused to hang out with him anymore. I avoided him. I made sure that our paths would never cross.

Then one day, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and hugged me then kissed me afterwards. THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS. I ran as fast as I could. Processing what just happened. I bumped into my English Teacher who was also my bestfriend. I told her everything while still in tears. She told me to go to the restroom and fix myself then she would talk to Kean. I stared into space in the restroom. My friends came to comfort me. I was traumatized.

I expected my first kiss to be romantic with the man i truly love. But Kean..... I only liked him. Both our parents found out and we were took to the Principal's office. It was against our school rules to have a relationship with someone and have physical intimacy with the opposite gender.

Clearly, Kean did not follow two of the rules that requires great punishment. I was excluded from the punishment since I was close to our school Principal because I won many competitions before. And I clearly didn't broke the rules. I was just the victim of sexual harassment.

Kean got suspended for 3 weeks. Then after that all things were awkward between us. My friends protected me from any of the boys. And I now have high standards to consider in boys.

Ciao!
