Ok so I think this kid is so hot and I want to get to know him.... He doesn't even know who I am. Would it be awkward if I just walked up to him and said hey and started a conversation? Or should I have one of my friends go talk to him and have her introduce me to him!??? Any other ideas? Should I just smile at him at first or what? I am open to any ideas! Oh ya, and when would the best time be to Go talk to him? Thanks!!!!
