looking from afar is always nice.
----
I can't do it.
talking to new people?
hard enough already.
talking to that boy?
even harder.
I closed my eyes tightly, my palms sweating profusely just thinking about trying to talk to him.
he looked at me as I passed him.
I was too nervous to even look at him.
this is stupid.
how can I not look at him?
it's just a little glance.
it's also just a little conversation.
"hey!"
I turned back.
it was that boy.
he smiled at me, eyes closing just slightly.
the corners of my lips lifted.
maybe looking back wasn't that bad.
