A/N: I'm freeeee! Finished my last exam today (felt it went pretty well – thankfully, because I thought yesterday's one went rather badly). They were both practicals, and we had to take a medical history from a fake patient, do a relevant examination (e.g. musculoskeletal, neurological, mental state, etc.), and then do some procedure (e.g. take blood pressure, give injection), and then find connections between biological, psychological and social stuff in their case. So nerve-wracking, and quite hard to prepare for.
That's probably a lot more explanation than any of you wanted or needed, so here's the next drabble – please review!
Having relationship problems? Need a sympathetic ear? Wish you could get some helpful advice? Ask Amy, and she might just find you a solution!

Dear Amy,
There's this girl I like. Yes, I know half the letters you get start off like that, but hear me out: it's not that I am hanging around petrified that she might not like me. I've tried asking her out – she said she'd think about it, but then a couple of days later she rejected me.
I've tried to move on, but it's been a couple of months and I can't help it – I still like her. Do you think I have any chance with her? I mean, when I asked her out, she didn't say no outright – and she looked like she felt really bad about it when she did. Is she just too nice not to feel guilty about it, or is there any hope for me?
Hopeful
Dear Hopeful,
It's a mark of your sincerity that you still feel the same about her even months down the track after she said no. Any girl would be lucky to have someone as steadfast and loyal as you. This girl seems like a nice person who may have been a little misled, and a little confused about her feelings when she said no to you. I think you shouldn't give up hope.
If you're who I think you are, you share an English class with her? Even if that's not the case, my advice still applies. Sit next to her in class, talk to her, become her friend. If she's who I think she is, she'll be relieved you don't hate her for backing out of your date. Eventually, ask her out again, and I'll be very surprised if she doesn't say yes. Good luck!
Amy
