The Foolish Things I Did for Pride

' My Grandfather was right. I was, am scared. I also let pride keep me from doing something. If she rejects me today, then I guess it wasn't meant to be. But in my heart, I know we are meant to be together.'

' I have never feared something so much. I've done so many things, that normal people would fear, but I laughed them off. But when it came time to get the girl I love I couldn't.'

' Hopefully she feels the same way. Even though I am going to go ahead with my plan, I don't want to find out that she considers me a friend and nothing else.'

' Since there is no school tomorrow, I'm not sure what to do. I guess I could call her and ask her out. Or I could say I left my notes in my locker and if she could share them with me. God what to do? Nothing.'

' Shut up. You are just going to call her up and ask her out. It's that simple. You've done it, what dozens of times already. But this is Rory. I know who she is. I've just got to do something. Anything.'
