(6) Hearing recovered

[sword_wolf]

I can hear again. It was hard trying to speak when I couldn't hear myself, I had to think carefully about everything I wanted to say and pronounce them slowly. I hope I didn't say anything strange.

....I think I called her by her first name.... 
It was in a moment of uncertainty and panic.... I-I didn't mean too.... I hope she didn't notice... this is so embarrassing... w-we don't even know each other that well yet... 
Sure we're classmates and have fought side by side for more than an year now... and I like her...quite a bit... but she's in love with someone else... 
I can't let her know how I feel... I can't. I'm sure she'll still be friends with me even if she knew but didn't feel the same way. She'd still smile and be cheerful but inside I know she'll be sad and troubled... and I don't want to her to be like that. 
As long as she treats me like a friend, it's all right.... yes, as long as she smiles at me, it doesn't matter if she doesn't feel the same way... no matter what, I can't let her know....
