Girls: Dear Diary, I saw him passing by my way. I didn't…
“Girls: Dear Diary, I saw him passing by my way. I didn't know what to do. I used to smile and greet him, but I felt so awkward so I looked the other way. Besides he's the star of the basketball team. He'll never notice a geek like me. Boy: Dear Diary, I passed by the corridor and saw the pretty, smart girl I usually sit with during Chemistry. I tried to smile at her, but she looked the other way. Besides, I'm just a guy who could shoot some hoops while she's this pretty, honor student. She'll never like a guy like me.”
