“I was like the runner-up to Miss Mediocrity and my prize was awkward silence.”
“Confidence is the prize given to the mediocre”
“...my awkward silence default setting kicked in.”
“Insert the biggest, most awkward silence in the history of big awkward silences.”
“Mine is the tongue tied silence of awkwardness, hers the smiling silence of anticipation, and then we utter inanities to each other, like "beautiful weather arranged for us" and "I like these kind of clouds.”
“I was starting to hate my sixteenth birthday. A poufy white dress and a cake with roses made out of pink icing and awkward dancing with boys in awkward suits was starting to sound like a great alternative. Seriously. Sign my up, I wouldn't even complain.”
