Chapter 1 - Courage.
There was this boy. He never had the courage to do anything he wanted to do. He would wait around after school and never talk to any girls, because he was so scared of rejection. He didn't try to approach people unless they were sad. He just wanted people to come to him. But one day he realized that if he kept this up his whole life, he would never get anywhere. He wouldn't get in any relationships, romantic or not. And the ones that mattered would be the ones he really had to try. One day, this boy was in the library. He had booked a room on the 6th floor. However, when he arrived at the room, there was already someone inside it. One of his friends decided to talk to the guys about it. They were cool with it, and moved rooms. Later that night, the boy asked himself why he didn't say anything to those guys? Why was he afraid of confrontation? Why would he always hold himself back by not doing what he really wanted to do, because he was afraid of an "awkward situation"? or rejection? It was because he was weak. However, he realized that, with enough will and effort, even a weak person can become strong. He decided that the next time he had an opportunity, he would take it. The next day, the boy stuck around a while after school. He said hi to some people, and talked a lot with this cute girl he was interested in. It wasn't much. But that night, as he lay in bed, he found that he could reflect upon that day with no regrets.
