The cosmic law of life-altering reversals

I first fell for her when she sat in the seat in front of me. I usually only talked to my guy friends, so falling for her was quick. She talked to me a lot, asking stuff like, "What's the answer to this?" or "Do you watch this anime?"

You know that thing where the person in front of you waves a piece of paper around so you can't grab it? She did that to me. Normally, it would just piss me off if a friend did it, but when she did it, it made me happy.

Plan 1: Get closer to her. I tried to become friends with her first. From what I described, it might seem like we were already friends, but K did this with everyone. So, I wasn't special.

But I was too much of a coward to talk to her directly. So, I decided to befriend her friends first.

She often talked to a girl named A. A was a short, chubby otaku, so the barrier was low. They talked a lot during break times, so I thought if I talked to A first, I could naturally start talking to K too.

From afar, I overheard that A liked Attack on Titan. I also liked Attack on Titan, so I approached A during break. By the way, A sat diagonally behind me.

It worked. Looking back, it was probably creepy to suddenly start talking to her, but A wasn't socially awkward and was kind, so she responded with, "Oh?! You watch it too?!"

We started talking about Levi and Erwin, and then K came over. "Are you talking about Attack on Titan?" Inside, I was thrilled. Apparently, K was a bit of an otaku too.

Things progressed quickly from there. If I went to A's place, I could talk to K. Eventually, I could even go to K's desk directly.

How old are you now?

10th grade

But at this level, we were still just normal friends. I liked K, but I didn't have the courage to confess, so I needed to make her fall for me.

So, I moved on to Plan 2: Aligning our interests. She watched various anime like Re:Zero and JoJo. I watched everything I could and gained enough knowledge to keep up with the conversation.

At this point, I leveled up from just a friend to a friend who shared common interests.

But she had a lot of guy friends, so the road was still long. So, I came up with another plan.

Plan 3: Walk home together.

But I didn't know where K lived. Asking for her address might make her wary. That's what I thought.

So, what should I do? I decided to find her house on my own.

Both K and I were in the go-home club, so our dismissal times were the same. I secretly followed her without being noticed. To my surprise, her house was closer to mine than I thought (about a 5-minute walk). Moreover, we lived in the same direction. I was convinced this could work.

Kids don't get it, but girls like straightforward guys

>>25
I wish I had done that now

I walked slowly on the route I found out K took. Naturally, K would come from behind. And she always walked home alone. Since I couldn't start the conversation, I waited for K to notice me.

Then she noticed. "Oh, it's you," she said as she came up next to me. Cute. She asked, "Do you always go home this way?" and I replied, "Yeah."

And just as I was wondering how to get to the point where we could walk home together, K said, "Then let's walk home together." I thought, "Yes!"

I replied, "Uh, sure. I don't mind," and from then on, we started walking home together.

At this point, I leveled up again to a friend who walks home with her. But from here, I started getting a bit too involved.

I thought about how I could become irreplaceable to K. Then it hit me.

I should make her dependent on me. If I could become her only ally, it would work.

Plan 4: Isolate her and make her dependent on me.

The plan was to spread bad rumors about her. If she became isolated, I could rescue her and become her only ally. Looking back, it was really insane. I regret it.

>>35
You're nuts

This guy is dangerous

Exciting

First, I blamed her for all the bad things that happened in class. Of course, she didn't do any of it, but I spread rumors behind the scenes, pinning everything on her. I half-expected it to fail, but the rumors spread easily, and even her friend A started distancing herself.

>>43
That's too cruel

>>46
Details on the rumors, please

>>62
I hid pencil cases and blamed it on her. I repeated similar things multiple times.

>>71
That's not too bad

>>72
That was the light stuff. The heavy stuff, I can't say.

>>73
It's the internet, just say it
Think of me as a confessional priest

>>76
I put flowers on other people's desks and scribbled on them.

While everyone distanced themselves from her, I was the only one who talked to K. She seemed happy to talk to me, even though she looked a bit down.

Because of the rumors, people started bullying her. Things went missing, and trash was put in her desk.

Eventually, K started coming to school less often. But I was really insane back then, so I sent her comforting and concerned messages, and I brought her handouts.

>>48
You're a psychopath

She stopped coming to school, but I kept doing what I mentioned above, and a month later, she came back.

When she came back a month later, the bullying had stopped. She came to me and said, "Thank you. I could come back to school because of you."

The plan succeeded. She only talked to me and I became her reason for coming to school.

If this is true, you're a genuine lunatic

A few days later, she confessed to me. I didn't expect it to go this well, but I immediately said yes.

At the time, I felt a bit guilty, but I was so happy that K became my girlfriend that those feelings vanished.

Even if it's made up, it's scary

However, karma has a way of catching up, and something happened around January. She started ignoring me and even showed signs of disgust. I broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the rumor I spread about her had been traced back to me.

Someone in the class who found it suspicious that I was sticking close to K while everyone else hated her, started asking around about who spread the rumors.

Things escalated quickly. I ended up being bullied, and I had no place in the class or even the grade. I told my parents I was being bullied and wanted to transfer schools, without mentioning that I had spread the rumors. They agreed, and I transferred to another school.

By the time I transferred, it was already my third year in middle school. I wasn't hated, but I couldn't fit in and graduated that way.

Looking back, I realize how stupid I was. I was the lowest of the low as a human being. I don't expect to be forgiven, but I wanted to get this off my chest. I'm really sorry.

>>64
You were really stupid and immature
Are you planning to attend your class reunion?

You sound like a character from Dostoevsky

I haven't seen someone this extreme in a while

You don't still have feelings for her, do you?

>>74
I still like her. But I don't plan to approach her anymore.

>>77
You did all that to someone you care about?
You're a certified psycho

Did you apologize to K?😠

>>86
I haven't. I want to, but...

>>87
If you want to apologize, just text her

>>88
She blocked me

>>89
Of course she did, idiot

I've hurt someone I liked too, so I'm not going to lecture you. Was the bullying really bad?

>>90
They tore up my notebook and kicked me really hard from behind

>>92
How badly was the girl you liked bullied?

>>93
She was ignored and had her things hidden

That was more brutal than I imagined

It's amazing that I've done all this and still love it.
