On the first day back to school for the new year, Bob noticed a new girl in class. He stared at her for 15 minutes straight and immediately fell deeply in love with her. The teacher introduced the new student as Jennifer. Now Bob knew his name. He decided to introduce himself to her the next day. The next morning, as Bob was walking down the hall, he noticed Jennifer struggling to open her locker. In the struggle he dropped all his books. Bob seized the opportunity and hurried to get his books. “Hi,” Bob said after he finished picking up the books. "My name is Bob," he said with a smile. "Hi," Jennifer said shyly. “Thank you for helping me with my books.” “No problem,” Bob replied. "Well, I'm going to be late for class, so I'll see you around!" Bob walked down the hall to his classroom. “Why didn't I say something else!?” he wondered. "Well, there's always a second chance, so I'll have to do it." The next day, Bob got his second chance. At lunch he saw Jennifer sitting alone at the table looking lonely. He decided to go and sit next to her. "Hi Jennifer," he said, trying to be friendly. "What happens?" "Well, nothing much really. I have a hard time making friends here." "I know, it's hard, isn't it," he replied, trying to console her. "I moved here 3 years ago too. After a few weeks you'll still have a lot of friends." "Good," she replied, looking Bob in the eyes.
