- You're off to a global city, and this is a time where you grow up, fall in love, and begin your life. I just hope that, after a few years, you won't end up thinking to yourself, "I wonder what life would be like if I still knew him."
- You are unbelievably beautiful. I'm certain that you've heard that thousands of times throughout your life, and even more so now that you are a star. I just hope that it hasn't lost its meaning, and that you didn't mind hearing it one more time.
Is there any chance that I stand out against the undoubtedly countless men that have tried (and are trying) to chase after you? I'm afraid that I'll get lost amongst everything that's on your mind right now, but I've been dying to get to know you better. Would you want to go out with me sometime, and maybe let me treat you to a cup of coffee? - I apologize, but can you really blame me?
- You don't even realize it, but you're in our way. I know, there's nothing you can do about it, but it's your presence that bothers us. You still show respect, but I can tell it's shallow; you already assume the answer is a "Yes" or "Okay," and you behave as such. We're stuck, though. There's no way to tell you without coming off as complete jerks. That's the thing; you don't realize the predicament you've cornered us into.
- Please shut up for once.
- Frankly, I'm a bit hurt by your question. Regardless of how I feel about you, I want you to know that it would never even cross my mind to take advantage of you, or anyone else for that matter. I just hope that maybe next time, you'll be a little more careful, because you might end up in the arms of someone who doesn't mean as well.

Firstly, I know that we're just friends, and that you have a boyfriend you really like, so don't take this the wrong way. But it was just too easy to fall for a pretty face and cute smile, and was even easier once I got to know you. I've concluded that it takes me too long to realize my feelings, and to think, "Hey, I like being around this girl. I would really enjoy spending more time with her. If we meant something significant to each other, I know I would be happy." I assume that's the point when a guy would ask a girl out on an actual date, but my epiphany always comes just a bit too late. In case you haven't guessed by now, I wanted to talk to you today to tell you that I've always liked you. No, don't worry; I know this is obviously too late to mean anything. I just thought you would have liked to know a little more about your friend.
For you, AM, it was like this: "(Wow, she's really cute.) Hi. (Hey, she lives nearby, maybe we can be friends.) Oh, you play tennis, too? (That's a plus. What else do we have in common?) Okay, just call me when you're done with class. (see: above italics) Haha, say 'Hi,' to your boyfriend for me. (I wonder what it would be like if that was me.)"
In delivery, heavily modified due to nerves. And like I said, I had been preparing this speech for a long time.
