This is it I tell myself. I keep my eyes on Cammie. This. Is. It. Today is the day when I will ask her out. I build up my courage. I run my hand through my hair. And I strut up to the love of my life.
"Hey, Cammie." Casual.
"Oh hey, Zach. Umm…. What's wrong with your leg?" Crap.
"Huh? Oh uh… Nothing-I mean, not really... It's falling asleep… So, I need to walk it off." Smooth.
"Right. So, what's up?"
"I was wondering, a-are you busy this weekend?" Just like we practiced in the mirror, Zach.
"Hmm… I've got a ton of homework and I've got a volleyball tournament... so…"
"Oh. Ok. Um. Yeah. Me too. Well, not a volleyball tournament, because I don't play volleyball. And you knew that. But um… What I mean it that I'm busy too."
"Cool. Well, see you later. I really gotta go."
"See you later… Gallagher girl." By the time I said that, she probably couldn't hear me anymore. Great. I blew it.
"Dude! Your face it like, bright red! What's up, man?"
"I blew it." I looked at my best friend, Grant.
"Blew what? Ooh, it's Cammie, isn't it? It's okay man, there's plenty of other fish in the sea."
"But… they're all guppies… and she's… she's a dolphin."
"What are you talking about? Ok, whatever Zach. Dude, you need to get over her."
"I don't want to get over her!"
"Fine. Then what you need is to learn how to flirt."
"Flirt?"
