Love-Shyness

I'm a journalist at school and my new topic is based on love-shyness. I'm supposed to find a person who's love-shy and document them on it and also help them overcome it if it's possible. Last week, it turns out my best friend (who's a boy) told me that a kid at school is love-shy and that he gets bullied by it. He goes to our school and I finally found him. On Friday he was watching people walk by to my best friend Nick and I decided to go talk to Nick to see if the boy shows any actual signs of being love-shy. He actually didn't look like he was love-shy.I started asking Nick if he would like to go to the movies with my friends (that are girls and guys). He smiled and nodded, I walked over to the boy and I asked if he wanted to come to the movies he didn't look at me but at the floor and his face started turning red. He then ran away before I could open my mouth to speak.The school holidays was the week after and everytime I go talk to him he just ignores me and walks away looking at the ground. The last day of school and I saw him sitting on the bench crying,rocking back and forth, his head in his knees and his knees tucked underneath. I walked over to him and it seemed as if he noticed I was there because he moved away as far as possible. I just wanted him to talk, I need him to talk, I'm going to make him talk. But not until he's comfortable being near me and other girls but we'll take baby steps. I told him that I just wanted to help him but he said nothing and kept rocking back and forth, I dont even know why he was crying in the first place. But I soon realised that I won't get him to talk so I decided that there wasn't any point of getting him to talk on the last day of term. Next term, it's game on. He can avoid me but I'll always be around to help him even if he annoys me so much by not talking but I don't think people who are love-shy can help it. I have to document on him otherwise it's game over for me.

I'll come back next term on how it went
