I suppose I should start from the beginning. Back at the end of 2017, my classmates and I went on a five-day school trip. Like most guys our age, everyone was pretty much focused on girls and... well, you know what I mean. I remember trying to act all cool and telling everyone that the very first time I was ever with a girl, I was going to go all out. About an hour after I said that, an actual opportunity presented itself. This girl—who was easily the prettiest girl in our entire school and someone everyone was obsessed with—offered to do exactly that with me. At the moment, I think I just froze; I had no idea how to handle it, so I ended up turning her down. Now, we’re in high school together, and she’s honestly become even more stunning, and I find myself wishing I hadn't made that mistake. We were hanging out in the courtyard the other day, just joking around, when she leaned in to kiss me. Once again, I pulled away. Since then, I can't seem to stop thinking about it or wondering what might have happened if I'd just been a bit more decisive. I guess I'm just not quite sure what's going on with me.
