We like each other but we are both really awkward!
First off, I'm going to start by saying, yes, I'm in grade 8. That doesn't mean I don't understand love. I've seen it on my friends faces and felt it on mine. If you're just here to off about how I don't understand love, leave.
Anyway, there's this guy I like, and my guy best friend, who happens to be his friend, says he likes me. My only class with him is band, and talking gets you in trouble. I'm a really awkward person, and he is nervous because he doesn't know I like him, but I want him to know he could ask me out, without having to tell him myself. I don't like him a ton, but he doesn't like me a ton either. I hope me and him can get closer, but I don't know what to do. All my friends want to talk to him but won't tell me what they're going to say (I swear if they straight up say I like him too I will murder them) and I'm worried they might screw this up for me. I'm nt the prettiest, skinniest, smartest, or most athletic, and so this is really important to me to not get messed up. Any advice from you lovely people?
