Game of Chess
Our friendship started in a game of chess. You wanted to teach me how to play the game. I acquiesced only because I hatched a devious plan. In this plan, I saw myself the victor. I will crush your ego so you will never, ever care to see me again. I wanted to end this friendship before it had the chance to bloom.
I was confident that this ruse will work and I will humiliate you. You saw right through me and told me that I could not possibly beat you in this game because you wrote computer chess games. I was on the receiving end of my own devious plan. You dished it out to me rather than the other way around. I felt humbled and I also felt a curious sensation.
I have never had anyone tell me off like you did. You confronted me with the truth about myself. You made me see how immature and childish I was. At that moment, I saw you - the person that you were. I said to myself, “hey, I like this guy.” From that moment on, I knew my life will be different because of you.
