Me: (Writing play. Girl sits down across hall.)
Girl: (Makes eye contact with me.)
Me: (Unable to break eye contact. Smiles. Laughs.)
Girl: (Looks nervous, doesn't smile.)
Me: (Sensing awkwardness, looks back down and keeps writing.)
Girl: (Looks up at me again, either curious or scared.)
Me: (Stares earnestly at notebook.)
Girl: (Studies her book.)
Me: (Surreptitiously glances at her.)
Girl: (Definitely paying attention, but not being too obvious.)
Me: Look. I don't know why, when we made eye contact, I laughed. You weren't smiling, it was awkward, so I laughed. I looked down so quickly because you seemed to be embarassed or confused or nervous or something. Then this whole thing snowballed out of control. And finally I decided to say this, because it seemed like some crazy pressure was building up between us, and eventually I had to speak. So I'm sorry if I caused you distress or worried you or anything. I was just trying to give you a friendly smile, and now here I am.
Girl: (Doesn't speak and just looks at me.)
Me: And now here I am.
Girl: (Same.)
Me: I'll write my play, then.
Girl: (Same.)
Me: (Writes play.)
