How does this guy even do it?All I could think about is that he can go up to anyone and 80% the time he can strike up a conversation. I'm just a little bit embarrassed about saying this but I kinda look up to him sometimes.That guy is not afraid of anything and he can take all kind of criticism and walk off like they never say anything.Like man....if only if I was like him.He is a gamer like me.We have never talked to each other once in the beginning to middle-end of 7th grade.Yeah, I have seen him around but, man he has no worries at all to break him down.He is always hanging around the nerd guy.I asked myself one of those days 'Can nerds and geeks be friends'?I might be the stupidest guy on the planet.....or I just hate myself....I have no friends....everyone runs from me or make fun of me....Well...Except for the teachers they are okay...No scratch that.Mr.B. was the best teacher ever but, that's a story for another day.Does that guy like red?It's on his shoes and he has a red hoodie...I will try to strike up a conversation.(A few weeks later)Wow, this guy is a pretty nice guy and we have common interests in video games.The only thing that worries me is that girl always hanging around near us.One day I asked hunter who that girl was(hunter)"Oh! That's gabby".(Me) "Hush! Not so loud....".(Hunter)"Oh sorry".I think to myself -Gabby huh?- That made me blush.
It was probably around mid-October that Nick finally had the guts to come up to us. Strike a conversation, Of course, I was with hunter and Lupita and I was drawing when the curly haired boy came and sat down at my table next to me. "Hi, Gabby.." He said as I about dropped my pencil I thought wow this guy knows my name he's such a fuck boy. I laugh at this now but before I seriously thought he was. I tried being polite but it came off as rude. "Hi, and your name is.." He just looked at me lost for words and I went back to talking to Hunter. THIS BOY JUST WON'T STOP! I thought and then It was the end of lunch as we parted for our separate classes the boy followed me as I noticed he was actually in the same class as me. I sat down to get my stuff together as I felt another poke note I was actually on my period and I wasn't having it so I yelled at him and flipped him over as my teacher came running not realizing my own strength I saw I hurt him and I felt bad as Mrs.Green yelled at us both to go outside. We both looked at each other knowing we were in troube and we walked out with our heads down and I just did not like Nick for some odd reason.
