On a certain day, I was walking around, just chilling with my friends when I spot this guy with a book. He was a newcomer but the book was a book I had read and LOVED. So naturally I walk over to this boy hoping to strike up a friendship and connect over the book. Being the awkward individual I am, I rehearsed what I’d say: “Hey, we’ve [my friends and I] wanted to come over to say hi cause I observed you were reading a book I liked and I hope we can converse in the future.” But no. Once we got to him I panicked and just said abruptly “We’ve come to hello you.” and I think my voice trembled and I was on the verge of tears. I’m never speaking to them again.
