Intro
It is a freezing winter day. I stepped out onto the rooftop just to catch my breath. I could feel the cold air seeping through my sleeves and into my body, but I didn't want to go back inside. Why? Because a teammate who hates me joined the unit a month ago.
Just a few weeks ago, I thought we could surely become close colleagues. No, I believed it. Since we were on the same team, we were teammates. But my expectations and reality were far too different.
That teammate always looked at me with disapproval. Even when I did something good, she would click her tongue and turn away. It was expected behavior, since she hated me.
Eventually, she started hitting me. They say the first time is the hardest, and it only gets easier from the second—they weren't kidding. Still, I endured it. I didn't want to be a burden, and I knew the others would only worry. I pretended to be strong on the outside. I acted like I hadn't been hit, like I was fine. I know lying doesn't do any good. But still—
I endure in silence again today. Because I'm a professional. Because I can handle it.
