when you hear "first day of school", do you usually flinch? or cower? what about when it actually rolls around? for me, it's FULL-ON TERROR.
why? two words:
tony ridenger. (also known as THE hottest boy in school.) every girl in her right mind has flirted with him once or twice. but i've done nothing. i've phased out when he even looks my direction before or after school.
man, i'm such an idiot…
okay, so at the beginning of summer i went on a date with him after one of dash's track meets. and what happens? a catastrophe downtown with the "underminer". i had to cut out on the date by spilling soda on myself and saying i was just going to the bathroom and never coming back.
do you know how LAME that sounds? i knew he wouldn't even want to say 'hi' after that. so i've been terrified all summer to go back. my mom had to physically drag me out of bed this morning!
fast-forward an hour…i sit down in my first class (biology), keeping my head down and tapping my fingers on the lab table. the bell rings to start class…and tony sits right next to me.
"hey."
i gulp and shrink back a little bit. "hey, tony."
"so…you had a good summer?"
"uh-huh," i nod, and we don't say anything else to each other for the rest of class. turns out, he's in three out of my four classes every other day. blessing or curse? i don't know yet…but i still can't bring myself to say more than three syllables to him without gulping and stumbling over my words and blushing.
does anyone have any suggestions for how i could handle this? become monosyllabic to prevent making a fool of myself? (yeah, become a caveman, that will solve ALL boy problems…) or just calm down and let things happen? gosh…i'm asking a book for tips. i'm insane, i'm insane, i'm alone in my room asking my diary for boy advice!
