The General's Journal for August 21

Hey, everyone. Today, we have. . . 10 days 'till September, and like 13 'till band starts, so I'm all psyched up. Today, I think my mom's getting our bells from the percussion director, so I'm gonna play 'em rapid like a machine gun.

Marching the streets with you in your hatty-thing
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Smiling as we talk, thinking to myself,
Hey isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that belongs in a poem,
I haven't seen it in a while, since I went back home.

That's a take on part of the second verse of You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift.

So, if you have ideas for how I can tell a girl I like her, plotted out, I would appreciate them. Here are my ideas so far:

1- Shad' asks the girl who her second choice of crush is, and if the girl tells Shad', then she'll tell me but not who it is. Then I get to go to the girl, and make a deal with her. I tell her another girl I like, if she tells me who her second choice is. If she agrees, I tell her I like her, and if she won't tell me who her second choice is, Shad'll blurt it out.

2- I gather our little club together, and say, "Okay, so I like someone new. . . Don't tell her, but I like _______", and of course, this girl is in our little club.

3- (Thanks to Pugs for this one.) I ask her what kind of way she'd like a guy to tell her he likes her. If she tells me how, I either repeat it there, or later.

I like either 1 or 2 for how to tell her, but 3 would also be good xD

yeah i think they would all be good

I like number 1.

I like 3 the best.

I love 'em all!! xD Haha. The first one, though . . . I'm not sure if I could make myself do that, so you might be better off with one of the others.
