I want to write an article about my love story. It happened during last summer’s vacation when my ex-girlfriend went back to Mainland China. At the end of summer vacation, I participated in a summer camp prepared for the freshman. On the second day, when a chasing game is being played, I found my new love. When that game started, I intentionally chased her. Because in that game I was tasked to chase the freshmen, as I felt it was reasonable to chase the girl I fancy. There was a supernatural connection helping us to be together. I always had the chance to meet her and say hello to her. Therefore, I thought it were simply fated to be. So I decided to grab the chance to pursue her. That was how my love story started. During the first day of school, I went to the convenience store in the morning. I saw her sitting on the bench eating her breakfast. My mind naturally told me I should accompany her. Of course, I did. I chose a seat beside her and started talking. We talked about everything under the sun. Most of the time I was talking and she listened to me silently. Our conversation wasn’t over until the meeting for the freshmen was started. During the meeting, I found opportunities to look at her even if she had noticed. I was simply living happily for the moment. When school started, I tried to find her class. At first, I went to her different classes to look for her and find a chance to be around her. For example, I helped her to cross the road or cheerfully greet her. Occasionally, I would leave messages on her Facebook account or ring her up on her cellphone. Two weeks after school started, I tried to find her by only myself. I focused on the classes which freshmen have to attend and realized I had almost thirty classrooms to go. It was a long road to locate her. So I devised a strategy and made an effort to accomplish my mission within one week. Eventually, I succeeded by doing it all by myself. During this tough process I faced some difficulties. I had to pretend to be a passerby and used a quick moment to look into the classroom windows to make sure I wouldn't disturb the class. If the classroom had no windows, I used the recess period to enter the class to pretend to chat with the freshmen while searching for her. When I chat with them, they always wondered what was a sophomore doing in this class. I responded honestly that I was searching for someone. When she found out I was outside the classroom waiting for her, she was shocked. If I were her, I would be shocked too. This is my fault I admit, but I just wanted to find out where she was. So I chose two days a week to give her snacks and hoped that she would be glad to try them. Besides, I waited outside her dormitory in the morning with hopes of giving her a ride to her classroom. Even at night I hoped to have a chance to meet her. Every day, I posted one article on facebook hinting my love for her. All I did was to let her know I really care about her, and how much I adore her. However, the more effort I put in, the more she avoided me. She finally blocked me on Facebook line, cell phone and whatever communication lines between us. My heart was initially broken but it soon became stronger. I decided to start over and take action. I know chasing a girl who had rejected me wrong behavior. However my confidence and optimism didn't stop me. I still thought I have a chance to get her heart back, so I kept taking action. I knew that she didn't want to have anything to do with me, so how can I continue chasing her? When I was in despair, my friends showed up and gave me a hand. They helped me send gifts I prepared for her. At first, I just sent some snacks, but I thought the snacks were not enough. Therefore, I started to write love letters and give her other small gifts hoping someday she will change her opinion of me. I know it’s a long road to walk because many people speak ill of me. Even though, I do my best to satisfy every one, I will prove that my ability is strong enough to rely on and she’ll be happy to stay with me in the end!!! The fate between us still exists. Hope is still there. I have no reason to give up. I can sacrifice myself for her no matter the time or spirit my life can give to her. This is what love is. That’s why love is so attractive and untouchable. I really love myself, so I want to share this love to her and give it all to her. So I will keep chasing her! a
