On a certain day, I was taking a walk, just relaxing with my friends when I spot this guy reading a book. He was new there but the book was a book I had read and LOVED. So of course I approach this boy hoping to befriend him and connect over the book. Being the awkward individual I am, I planned out ahead of time what I’d say: “Hey, we’ve [my friends and I] wanted to come over to say hi as 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 got nervous and just said abruptly “We’ve come to say hi to you.” and I think my voice broke and I almost started to cry. I’ll avoid them from now on.
