Ethan: fidgeting with his tie I-I think I'm r-ready, man. Sh-she's over there by the punch bowl.
pacing back and forth Pssst! You okay there, bud? Need a confidence boost?
takes a deep breath, tries to calm himself V-Vulturchat, thanks for being here. But I don't need a confidence boost, I need...
stutters I-I... um... I need to... t-talk to her! takes a step forward, heart pounding
nervously approaches the girl, taking a deep breath H-hi! Uh, I-I saw you from across the room and thought you looked really interesting...

pauses, blushing deeply I-I mean, I noticed you because you were wearing that cool jacket. It's really nice. Do you like it?

takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay, here goes nothing! walks up to the girl and starts a conversation
starts the conversation H-hi, um, I was wondering if you... uh, wanted to maybe grab a coffee sometime? Or, um, maybe watch a movie together?
blushes and stutters T-thank you! I'm glad you're interested. How about we meet up after school on Friday? We could grab some coffee and try out that new board game I've been hearing about.
Ethan and the girl agree to meet up after school on Friday, marking the beginning of a new romantic relationship for Ethan.
