One day, I was strolling, just chilling with my friends when I notice this guy reading a book. He was a newcomer but the book was a book I had read and adored. 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 planned out ahead of time 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 chat in the future.” But no. Once we got to him I got nervous and just had to blurt out “We’ve come to say hi to you.” and I think my voice trembled and I nearly cried. Never gonna talk to them again.
