I see some similarities between you and I, its just that mine
took place in sec 3 (kinda same as you) all the way until jc2. so
perhaps the ending part differs slightly.
Some of you know, I was very much into her. And it's only
towards the later part of my secondary 4 life that I actually did
talk to her and do other stuff for her.
Neither am I in her circles of close friends, but I did take
some initiative to talk to her, although we didn't have anything
much in common. She was into dramas, I am in to anime. She studies
quite hard, whereas I slacked pretty hard, so even common topics
like school, I can't last long, although I did message her every
weekdays to ask her for homework lol.
But I did start conversations with her, asking her about her CCA
and all that pretty minor things, before moving on to slightly
larger topics like her ambitions, so on and so forth. I even had
the chance to send her home a few times.
She's in the same school as me, but we are in different class.
And she has no time, neither do I. So while you have the time, have
some initiatve, talk to her even about the minor things but don't
bore her to death, ask her out if possible. You still have the
time, albeit short, doesn't mean you can't do it.
Don't end up like me hoping to have done more and have regrets..
