All is fair in love... Until she is engaged and married she can be and should be wooed. So go for it. Buy her a pretty hair ornament and gift wrap it.
Bring her a yellow rose and hand it to her at her locker. Touch her hand or arm as often as you can when talking to her without overdoing it and coming off creepy. Always ask her how she feels about the things she talks about that are changes.
ALWAYS look her in the eyes when talking to her. Always smile at her when you leave her and tell her things like be safe and have fun and call me at the end of each conversation. She needs to know you really want her.
Lastly, get over the, you weren't first thing. It's who is last that matters. Best wishes!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
