As we all have, I have watched Durarara. And mabye, because of its exceptional quality, I have wished and prayed that my life be at least like that. (not so much pray) I have wished that my high school life be at least the tiniest bit ordinary, or like some movie or TV show. Has anyone else gone through this? If so, I could really have someone share it with me. The title of this thread is only because I felt like spelling the sunshine city. I love the way it sounds. Thanks!

Hey~ I have also wished my life to be the least ordinary. My high school life was a bit more of a shoujo story. It wasn't the most enjoyable for me, but I got to experience to be an otome game protagonist.

So I had this crush on person S who happened to be my older sister's best friend since childhood. Looking back, I think got a crush on him since I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I confessed to him during their elementary school graduation just because I thought I needed to let things out even though I knew that things between my sister might get complicated (I was a kid, alright). He and my sister applied and got accepted in a science school. He told me that if I really wanted to get an answer from him, I should go strive and be accepted in the same school. Said that he'll tell me on day one if I still liked him by then. And so, I studied very hard. I never really considered myself smart but out of hard work, I got accepted. When I got into the same school as him, I confessed to him again the FIRST THING in the morning during the FIRST DAY at school. He gave me his response after school hours that day and it was "sorry, you're just my friend's lil sister". Can you imagine working hard because you thought there was hope but you just got rejected? Ahahahahaha That was like 4 years of rejection in the making. I was sad, of course, but it's not like I didn't expect it. If there was one person the two of us cared about, it's my sister. I knew he treasured my sister dearly so my confession might have bothered him. Anyway, they are in no way romantically related. It's just pure friendship and platonic love.

So I got rejected. I cried in secret but was found by my sister's other friend A. He didn't know I was related to my sister back then, he was just there to comfort a junior who was bawling her eyes out after class. He later found out that I was related to my sister and the reason why I was crying that time. He told me I was interesting 'cause of the whole story with S and whatnot. Anyway, we got along well afterwards. All three of them graduated from high school, and their high school graduation changed things between me and him. During their graduation, I was pretty much with him 70% of the time because I was helping out for the ceremony and other formalities (giving ribbons to guests, etc.). Then he just introduced me to his dad saying "this the girl I was talking about, the girl I like". He didn't try to make a move on me before that moment, and it seemed like he discussed it with my sister beforehand. Furthermore, he actually gained the favor of my very strict mother without me knowing. So we tried going out and that lasted for about 4 years. It was a long distance relationship, and we never really went on dates more than 5 times during those 4 years because he was a college student and I knew he was busy. We broke up a bit before his college graduation because I did something (I was unaware, really) that made him cram his graduation thesis. After graduating, he worked as a teacher and I was in my final year of high school. During my 2nd year in college, we hung out once and discussed future life plans. I learned that he wanted to get back with me but only after I get my college degree. I was shocked 'cause I already had someone else but he told me it didn't matter and he was gonna wait. Then adds that he was going to priesthood if ever he didn't get back with me. He respects the fact that I'm going out with someone else.

So that's it. I chased S and got rejected. In this rejection, I met A, and is now being chased by A. For A, it was either me or becoming a priest. I really liked sharing this story with other people whenever I have the chance to because I only see these kinds of scenes in shoujo manga/otome games. So yeah, I find this to be very weird because I never really entertained the idea that someone out there was willing to go through such lengths for me.

Yeah, but I guess, we all are the main characters of our movie, I mean, your life seems so interesting compared to mine, but i guess the grass is always greener. That seems to be an ongoing theme in life, no matter how philosophical it seems. Anyways, that really helped. Your story, was amazing, and thanks for sharing lol

But, does rejection like that always happen? I mean, there is always someone, but I am sick of always being the good child and following what I think is right.

mhmm. That makes snense

What makes sense?

The fact that you may want to Have something be more intresting in your otherwise ordinary life. I feel like we have all felt like that.

I suppose that KARO point makes sense. Well, I mean, when you think about it, we all want a more intersting life. I spelled thatwrong, but I guess i am too lazy to try and fix. OH WEll. I hope myy post helped

Well thank you. There are a lot of jerks here, but I suppose that the point of it is that we all come together. Likes its christmas or some shit.

Do you celebrate christmas KARO?

mhhmmmmmm. I feel guilty that we are all texting on a thread thats supposed to help this poor child

Oh, I don't care. Have fun. Mabye other people want to join too.

Nice. I guess we have a fun hangout.

Yayyyy .Sorry for the long response time. I am cleaning

I suppose, that we all have a sort of Durarara life. Its just a matter of embracing what kind it is.
