I can barely remember what happened in 9th grade, honestly. The most memorable thing was trying to befriend some folks in my Mandarin class. It didn't really work out, though I did manage to befriend one girl who was a grade higher than me.

Grade year: 10th grade.]
According to Google, Aidon means "the unseen one," and, in my view, it fits this girl, since I didn't really see her. I can't even remember her properly either. We mostly texted on the iMessage app on the Apple phone. I visited her house once, and it was somewhat interesting to see how different someone else's house was designed and whatnot. Especially considering we were both Chinese American folks after all. The last time I saw Aidon was on BookFace, where she had a profile picture of a fictional man I knew from the company called Homo-universe.
Homo-universe makes pretty good games and good storytelling for sure, but I knew the true story of where they were inspired from, honestly.
Poor Aidon, if you ever read this, I'm sorry for what happened to us the last time we spoke. I wasn't interested in continuing our friendship at all after what happened. You simply didn't spark my interest as a friend either. I didn't really feel much for Aidon, if I'm being honest; I just felt like she was just there, and so was I.
We had a situationship where ours was literally just a ping-pong table. Whenever I tried flirting with her, she wasn't interested in returning it. Then, when I didn't want to flirt with her, she would try to get my attention and flirt with me. It was really strange, and metaphorically, calling our situation a ping-pong table was the best way to describe it. I was surprised she knew that my gender didn't really align with the body I was born with, though. How could she tell...? What clues did I accidentally give to her as well?
