” You can do this Nate, you can do this”

    I kept repeating this to myself, but the legs didn’t move, nothing came out of my mouth. My mind was telling me to talk to her, but my body didn’t cooperate. Or maybe it was the other way around, I could not really tell at that moment.

  Then the bell rang and she walked out of the room.. slipped right past me. I was still, I was speechless. All I could do was go to my next class.

   ” So welcome to my classroom, if you read your schedules right, then you should be here to learn Academic English this year, let me just read off the list on attendance and make sure everyone who is here is suppose to be here. oh and I’m Mr. Miller incase you didn’t know.”

     Thats when Miller started reading his names like the last teacher, and thats when I got a whisper in my ear.

  ” Dude did you talk to her yet??”

” no man, I don’t got the guts”

” yes you do man, yes you do”

       Maybe I did have the guts, but if I didn’t have them, then I would never beable to convince Leon that. He was probably one of the most stubborn people I ever met.

” I don’t know how I can talk to her”

at the awkward moment Mr. Miller blurted out ” Nathan Steward!”

” Here!”

” No man, you got this, you can talk to her, I know you ca-”

” Leon Teller”

” here!”

    I tried to convince Leon and he tried to convince me, but we could both tell this conversation wasn’t going anywhere.
