One day, I was wandering, just chilling with my friends when I notice this guy engrossed in a book. He was new in the area but the book was a book I had read and adored. So obviously I go up to this boy hoping to befriend him and connect over the book. Being the awkward individual I am, I thought through what I’d say: “Hey, we’ve [my friends and I] wanted to come over to say hi because I observed you were reading a book I liked and I hope we can talk more in the future.” But no. Once we got to him I got nervous and just blurted out “We’ve come to greet you.” and I think my voice cracked and I was on the verge of tears. I’m never speaking to them again.
