Her best friends (female) and my best friends (male) are good friends. my friend asked if he should introduce me to her or maybe let her know that I like her, but I refused. I know she deserves someone better. I’m overweight, short, and I stutter. Every time I think about talking to her, I feel like I’ll just mess up. The fear of rejection scares me not just that she might think I’m a creep, but also that she could make fun of me with her friends, or that the whole class might find out. That’s why I’ve stayed silent all these years, even though a part of me wishes I could tell her how I feel. Now, I’m just happy seeing her every day for the last few months, and then probably I will never see her again.
