What Do I Do? (Also read the story part before the picture)
There's this guy in my Algebra and English class, and I’m not sure if he likes me. Sometimes, we lock eyes when I look at him, but we don’t really talk. We barely know each other, but I want to be with him, even if it’s just something short-term, like a rebound—though that feels wrong to say.
Recently, we had a lockdown drill at school, and I had to sit beside him. Afterward, I noticed his friend pointed at me and teased him about it. Was he teasing him about me? I’m probably just being delusional.
Today, we had our grade field trip, and I kept finding myself where he was. I couldn’t stop stealing glances at him, and I wanted to approach him, but since we’ve never talked, it would be weird if I did, right?
Some days, it seems like we catch each other looking a lot, while other days, it’s different. I’m really not sure what to do. What should I do?
Update: Today, a second class had to join our English class, so he ended up sitting next to me. Technically, he didn’t have to, but his friend (the same one who was teasing him) told him to sit in front of me. He asked if I had any extra headphones for an assignment we had to do, and I did, so I lent him mine. When he returned them, our hands touched! I know I might be overthinking it or being a bit delusional, but I thought I’d share this update.
Update: I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'm thinking of giving him a note that says, "Hey, I really wish we had talked more this year. You seem cool, and I would love to get to know you better if that isn’t weird. Could I have your number?" Does that sound cringey?
Update: Today, we didn't interact much. I had planned to give him a note, but I asked my friend to read it first, and she said it was bad. I'm not really sure what she meant by that, so I decided not to give it to him. I want to find a way to get his number and confess my feelings, but I feel like it might be one-sided. I'm not sure what to do.
Update: We received our yearbooks today, and in my awkwardness, I asked him to sign it! It was so uncomfortable. We only have a day and a half left, and we’ve barely spoken. I’m freaking out!
Update: Today, we exchanged glances a few times. I decided to create a Word document that both of us can write in to see what might happen. Does this seem okay?
