"Its now or never man" was the statement in my head that was spoke/ as i stood there anticipating the moment to make my approach/ thinkin about our conversation and trying to carefully piece it/ then i gave myself a quick check to make sure i looked decent/ so i gathered up all my courage and i took a deep breath/ and made my way towards this girl with the 1st of my steps/ just when i thought every thing was good and close to perfection/ a million questions start trafficking thru my mind like intersections/ like "how should i introduce myself" i said startin to feel pesimistic/ i can't believe im stressin out over somethin so simplistic/ "it doesn't matter how you say it cause it doesn't have to be perfect"/ "just go over and talk to her, it doesn't matter how you word it"/ "yeah but wait.. it does matter, i just can't say anything dumb"/ "that could just ruin everything and then my chances will be done"/ as i inch closer to her with every second of the minute/ my heart starts gettin pumped like Pop-Eye is with his spinanch/ i start scratchin my head startin to feel a bit nervous/ and then a look of anxiety starts to reach my face's surface/ "i can't do this!" i said startin to feel the doubt in myself/ like my confidence decided to pack up and head back for the shelf/ feeling discouraged i looked over to the position she was at/ felt more like crap/ and started to think this whole idea had become wack/ so i turned around with my head down and walked to a different section/ thinking a pretty girl like that would probably never look in my direction/ as i continued walkin thinkin the world couldn't get any colder/ i felt the warmth of a female's hand over my shoulder/ i turned around to see who it was.. and it was her to my surprise/ she smiled at me and greeted me with the letters H-I -PAUSE- ....but i couldn't say anything cause i still couldn't believe this was happening/ so i quickly tried to think of some lines i had been previously practicing/ but my mind was zoning out, couldn't really think too straight/ my thoughts just flew out the the window and just left my mind blank/ " you dumb idiot say something before she decides to walk away"/ but my head was still scrambled and all i could think of to say..... was......".....uhhhh.........". -AKWARD PAUSE- then she said, " Well i gotta go to class, gotta big test later on this week"/ "I'll catch you around sometime and it was nice to finally meet"/ "well... kinda.." she said smilin as she slowly walked past/ i thought "damn...now don't you feel like a big dumbass"/ so as i watch her walk away slowly into the distance/ i also see my chances slip slowly out of existence/ "Its now or never man" was the statement in my head that was spoke/ so i gathered up my courage and made my approach.. "Hi my name is ________, sorry it took so long to respond back/ i guess you can probably tell im not the best smooth talkin cat/ perhaps i was a little nervous and didn't know what to do/ but then that always happens when im around girls like you/ and i aint the popularist student, i don't hang with the cool crowd/ but that doesn't matter cause i got the best friends for which i am very proud/ and you may not have noticed but we share a couple classes together/ i think that presentation you gave in History was well thought out and pretty clever/ but mine on the other hand was stupid, i couldn't help but to be clumbsy/ it wouldn't surprise me at all if the teacher decided to flunk me/ oh yeah i heard you like Cassidy, i think he has the best freestyle when he raps/ have you heard him battle against Freeway? its like a 17 minute track/ but anyways enough about that/ i really want to get to know you and interact/ maybe one day go out and chill as a matter of fact/ i just really think you're a special girl cause you not quite like the rest/ and i apologize if i wasted your time but i had to get it off my chest.... -ANOTHER AKWARD PAUSE- "well i guess i'll see you later" i said startin to revert back to my old ways of thinkin/ my head returned to its downward position and my courage started shrinkin/ "well at least you said somethin, gotta give yourself some cred"/ but then i heard her call my name and this is what she said/ " it doesn't matter about popularity because you definitely are the sweetest/ never seen this side of you but im glad i got to see this/ and yeah i noticed you in my classes, i really thought that you were cute/ i've always wanted to talk to you but i just never made pursuit/ thanks for the presentation compliment, but i think that class is a waste/ although it was a bit goofy your presentation kept a smile on my face/ and what you heard about me likin Cassidy was definitely correct/ i absolutely love his music and his freestyle is the best/ but no i haven't heard the battle but it sounds like it is tight/ whenever you get the chance you could show me if you like/ and yes i would love to hang out and try to get to know ya/ we can do somethin fun as soon as this school week is ova/ so heres my number, give me a call as soon as you have the time/ and i'll talk to you later .....okay.....bye." she gave me a hug smilin and then we parted our ways/ i played it cool but in my head i was cheerin with my hands fully raised
