So one day, I was strolling, just chilling with my friends when I spot this guy engrossed in a book. He was new there but the book was a book I had read and LOVED. So naturally I approach this boy hoping to strike up a friendship and connect over the book. Being the socially awkward fail 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 freaked out and just had to blurt out “We’ve come to say hi to you.” and I think my voice broke and I was on the verge of tears. I’m never speaking to them again.
