I thought that was quite a insightful story :) I've always had a thing for stories like yours. Stories which sneaks around the idea of the 'perfect couple' and instead shows us the side of the 'antagonist', or in this story's case, Obstacle A's point of view. And i may just be blabbering but your story did make me think: why is it always the pretty girl with long eyelashes that gets the handsome guy. Why is it always those born with natural beauty and flair which wins over those who work their butts off to look even half as pretty as those born naturally like that.

But at the same time, why do those not born as beautiful need to even try? I mean, who gave out the definition of what 'beautiful' should be? For me, beautiful comes from how a person carries and treats themselves. Sure, there are those 'prettier' than others, but I believe (and have seen quite a good few examples) that as long as you present yourself in a clean and charismatic way, then your appearance will no longer hinder your chances of love.

So in conclusion (after this long rant lol), i do think that miss obstacle A went about it the wrong way. She set herself up as the 'antagonist' before the real action even started, which led her acting like one. Wearing y clothes, acting sultry - they're all an act to hide her cowardly and insecure self. But if only miss obstacle A, and for a matter, more girls in this world would know, that whilst make-up and flashy clothes and enhance your look, but what really gives you that charm and quality is your personality and aura.

Anyway, enough of my blabbering, good luck with the contest!
