“Don’t worry about it, Looney,” he said to me yet again. But this time, he meant it in an entirely different way, because this time, he was consoling me.

So here’s the rundown: The girl who yelled at me was in love with the boy I referred to as “my prince.” That was why she asked me whether I was interested in anyone. At that point, I had essentially denied any interest in him. But then I spent the next day clinging to him even more, which she had possibly interpreted as an act of spite towards her. Unable to stand it any longer, she arranged to meet up with him and then gave him a bell. But it was no mere gift; she wanted an answer from him. And just as he shot her down, she encountered me right there. She must have thought to herself, are you here to laugh at me? Either that, or perhaps she just never liked me to begin with.

Mind you, this was simply my read on the situation, but I was pretty sure I was right. All I’d heard from my prince was that he had turned her down, but that was all I needed. “Don’t worry about it”? Not possible. Was there a human alive who could hurt someone and then continue to go about their day like it was nothing? Sure, I was cold and unfeeling, but our hearts were built to worry. I contemplated going straight back to our room to give her an explanation and a sincere, heartfelt apology…but then I thought better of it.

Guilt surged in my chest.

Don’t worry about me—worry about her!

Obviously, I couldn’t say that, but at the same time, if I acted sad, then the other girl would think that I thought I was the victim. Thus, I did my best to act like everything was fine.

At dinner, I barely ate. I claimed I wasn’t hungry, but naturally, my friends weren’t coldhearted enough to buy that excuse. My prince gave me a hard look, probably because he knew what was going on with me, but I didn’t have the composure to handle it, so instead I gave him the rest of my food.

Desperately, I tried to think of a solution to this problem. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this was really just a symptom of everything that was wrong with me, and in order
