(some names are changed for no reason at all)","content":"Vanessa came up to me and said, \"Hey there Travis. How are you?\" \"It's alright.\" It wasn't alright, at all. We were at school, and this is also a new school in a new state. It's hard for me to make friends, and especially in this small town. I was sitting up against a wall in the hallway, drawing, and eating a granola bar. This happens every day. \"Hi Travis.\" \"Hi Vanessa.\" Talk, talk, talk. I mean I'm glad she talks to me but I'm still not making any friends. Recently things have changed up a bit. A friend of her's, a boy comes up to say hi to her. He's gay also, and so am I. He's really cute and I make a giant fool of myself around him. He started to sit with us half way into lunch almost everyday. I try to not be shy, but I always am. I don't talk much when I'm shy. When I know people I'm really talkative and it's hard to make me shut up. Anyways I want to get to know him, but I have no idea how! I was scrolling through Facebook and accepted a friend request and he was there in suggested friends because of someone else who added me, so I sent him request. He started to like a lot of my post, even old pictures. It was obvious he was creeping. It took me awhile to send a message to him so I just sent \"Hey Richie! ^\\_^\" and he replied later that night with \"hey\" I mean, maybe I'm over thinking it, but it doesn't seem like he wants to message me, because when I message other people hay seem very ecstatic with a bunch of words, faces, and punctuation/grammar. So I just didn't reply, but the again I'm probably over reacting. I seem to be attracted to him, I just can't keep my eyes off of him. I don't want to be shy, but it's hard to talk to people, for me at least.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
