One day, I was strolling, just hanging out 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 obviously I go up to this boy hoping to make a new friend and connect over the book. Being the socially inept person I am, I thought through what I’d say: “Hey, we’ve [my friends and I] wanted to come over to say hi as I noticed 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 panicked and just said abruptly “We’ve come to say hi to you.” and I think my voice trembled and I almost started to cry. Never gonna talk to them again.
