I canāt do this. I hate that I always do this. Iām so so freakinā lonely that every time anyone is even remotely nice to me I freakinā fall for them. I mean, itās bad enough that this time I thought he was cute and THEN HE talked to me. Itās bad enough when someone talks to me first bc thatās already a shock, but for someone Iāve been staring at for over a month? How dare?? And now making eye contact w me across the classroom when the professor says something weird?? What kind of game. I canāt do this. Heās going to try to become friends w me and Iāll fall for him or he wonāt and Iāll pine after him and make a fool of myself. I always make a fool of myself. Iām too awkward. And for what? A boy? Boys, who are sexist? Possibly biphobic? Racist? What if heās racist??? Or homophobic??? What if heās a fourth year? I donāt wanna talk to him. I wanna talk to him as soon as class gets out. I want to hear what he thinks of the books weāve read in this class. i want to know his favorite ever.. Whatās his favorite genre? His favorite movie? What kind of music does he like? Maybe I should get to know him so I can find something wrong with him and get over him faster. But what if I donāt? What if heās actually great? It canāt work. I donāt date people. They donāt like me back. Iām not pretty. Iām not willing to do anything before marriage. Iām stubborn about my values. My family is weird and sometimes racist. Heās white. Fudge. I canāt talk to him. Iāll just go another few days thinking about him but not having spoken to him. Gah, Iām not gonna do that. Class is going to end and Iām going to pack up extra slowly so we can walk out together. Iām a disaster. And he wonāt stop holding his pen with his mouth.
