So apparently, based on what you said, you are playing this game called "life" on a hard level... What this guy said. Wait for the opportunity but don't wait too long or or let shyness get the best in you, otherwise you might be overtaken by someone 100x cooler than you.* Also, keep your head high. Believe in yourself. If your crush is on a cooler clique then you may find it impossible, but hey, it can happen . Get your ish together and tell her face-to-face. If you get rejected then so what, there's plenty of fish in the sea. Should you not excel on that stage, there's always high school and college. Some people are just late bloomers, like me *speaking from experience EXTRA (may/may not be related): Want to excel? Change your interests, hobbies, the image you project, and the way you talk to people. Socialize! Gather friends. Attend gatherings (clue: look at my avatar) :D:D:D I hate to tell this, but lets face it: coolness plays a major factor in most of today's generation, even that it won't help you in the long run.
