The context of the following conversation is Kai was in class near the girl he found cute. Kai moved closer to her.:
Kai says Psst. Pass this note to Sarah..
The friend responds You pass it..
Kai responds I tried. I moved my desk closer to her but I still can't reach her or make eye contact with her..
The friend responds Why can't you just talk to her after class?.
Kai responds Because I heard Fred is going to ask her to the dance right after class and I need to ask her first..
The friend responds Fine. Give me the note..
