Shy, Yet Courageous...?



                Shy, Yet Courageous…?

               So, here I am again at the school library, under the false pretense of reading a book. Obviously I’ve chosen one I’ve already read about a hundred times. By doing so, I’m avoiding any embarrassment should she ever approach me to ask something about it. Hey, it might happen… Why is she walking towards me? Oh, no… Is she going to talk to me? I’m so not ready for this!
               “Hello… That’s an interesting book you have there. What part are you in right now?”
               “Oh, ahm… He’s just been told he’s not who he thought he was. Yeah, very interesting, indeed! When did you… I mean, when have you read it?”
               “It’s been a while, and I could use a second reading. Would you mind sharing it with me once you’re done?”
               “Sure! Absolutely… Not a problem! … Ahm… So… W-what are you doing later on today?”
               “Nothing… We could hang out. Catch a movie, or something! Just the two of us. Are you into Star Wars? Have you seen the last one? I've heard Luke's gone crazy.”
               “That's not crazy. That's character development. And yeah, I've seen it, but I could use a second look at it! Oh, but wait… I can’t ask you out on a date. At least not now…”
               “Why not? I think the two of us would work out just fine!”
               “Well, I can’t… Because you just walked right passed me, and this whole conversation is taking place only within my cruel imagination…”
