Search Results: british accent

For context I will mention that, for the past six months, a transfer student from England has been living across the street from me. She is twenty-two years old, she has a lovely British accent, and she is an aspiring journalist.

I like her very much, but, being a highly introverted and shy person, I have not managed to introduce myself yet, even though we live only a few hundred yards away..

I wake up early, and I rarely close my blinds, so I see her when she goes to work in the morning; and, because I can do most of my work from home, I also see when she comes home in the early evening. I know her work schedule, and when she goes shopping, or out with friends. I am not purposefully watching her, but I always tend to find myself near the front window when I know she will come or go soon.

I know this can seem rather unsettling to people, especially given that when we do see each other from across the street I cannot seem to make conversation, and as such end up just waiting awkwardly for one of us to leave.

I read anything she manages to publish in the local news, or online, and if possible I always leave feedback online. I doubt if she even knows my name, but I really like her.

My sister, who lives next door to me, has spoken to her a few times. I haven't told my sister about anything yet, however, so I would not think that anything should be explained by her.

Your thought?
