The Boy Who Wanted To Win

Once upon a time... There was a boy who always wanted to win. Even though everyone around him found his presence overwhelming and stressful, non resented him. To the boy being competitive and open about it was about being transparent. Because nothing mattered more than being honest to everyone and of course himself.

He charted his route since he was very young. Envisioned big houses and money in truck-loads. People admired how straight his road was. Never ever met one bad friend and never ever got betrayed once in his life up till now. He was a decent guy. Perhaps too decent for he would never betray his own morals- Though some may find this attribute irritating since doing the right thing does not always mean the easiest thing~

Nevertheless... He wanted to gain the trust and friendship of his peers. Strongly believing that by opening his own heart, others will open theirs too... This meant helping others as much as he could even when it would mean great inconvenience to himself. He was the sunshine when people were down. Always having those wild and crazy ideas... They were weird of course; they were also fun...

His friends saw him as a pillar of strength. To his competitors he was a go-getter. To those he helped he was a teacher. To those who barely knew him, he was a amiable soul. To his close friends he was a drama king and a kid that never grew up...

It was a moment of sweet triumph when he managed to be the top student in Fuhua Secondary School with his O level results. A moment of glory. Following that he came to JJC and made quite a name for himself. However... It was also in JC when things started to change and morph. The boy felt pain for once in his life... A pain he could not describe but cry and bleed... A gash in his naive spirit... But also a rite of passage... For he finally saw... A glimpse of what life was really like...

To Be Continued...

There was a boy who always wanted to win... Because the thrill of it all gave him strength... But deep down inside he somewhat knew why it had to be this way... Because he wanted to be someone great just so... he could have some friends; just so he wouldn't feel so small in this big big world... He merely wanted acceptance... for he feared he would be lonely on this long, straight road~~~
