Silence at the Worst of Times

Should I say something?
No.
I\'ll just sit here and look at my shoes.
Some more.
Hm, I have a smudge of dirt on my left shoe.
Oh well.
But... What if he notices?
I\'ll wait until he turns around.
Then I lick my finger and wipe it off.
Stupid smudge.
When did I walk in dirt today?
Oh, yeah. After school.
When I went outside to bring the dog in.
That makes me fell dumb.
Oh well.
Okay, I have to say something eventually.
Or maybe I\'ll just wait.
Why isn\'t he saying anything?
Stupid boy. Say something.
You asked me to this stupid movie.
Now say something.
Just do it!
Chicken.
I didn\'t mean that... Well, I did.
Kind of.
But only a little.
How come you\'re so quiet?
You talk in Chemistry class all the time.
Why aren\'t you talking now?
Am I that repulsive?
If so, then why the heck did you ask me to this stupid movie?
You could\'ve asked that cheerleader you sit next to in homeroom.
She\'s blond and wears short skirts, even when its cold out.
So why are you here with me?
I didn\'t even want to see this movie anyway.
I only said yes, because I wouldn\'t turn you down even if you asked me to jump off a bridge with you.
Wow, I must be an idiot.
Really, I\'d have to be.
I should just get up and leave...
But you drove, so I can\'t.
Okay, I\'m going to say something.
Right now....
Maybe in ten seconds...
Seven... Four... Two... One...
\"I...\"
The commercials started.
Great.

[I know it\'s different, but hopefully it\'s a \'good\' different, not a bad one.]
