Hey Pandas, If You Had The Guts To Ask Out Your Crush, What Would You Say?

Okay well I really hope none of my friends are on this site because I've had a crush on this guy for 2 years and I continuously tell them I like no one (mainly so I won't get teased) only one person knows though and they encourage me to confess all the time so this was or most recent plan on how to tell him before I chickened out: I was going to ask him to sit with us at lunch and then she was going to get up to put her tray up but stay away for awhile when she would come back she would just say a teacher was asking her to stay after school (perfect because she stayed after for homework help!!!!) so when she was gone me and him would talk and laugh and stuff then I'd ask him to walk with me to the buses then when it's time to walk to the buses when we were outside I would say "Look I like you I just wanted to tell you in case we get quarantined forever" its not the best sentence to tell your crush you like them but it was all we could come up with I was also supposed to fit in that he doesn't have to sugarcoat it I can take it but I thought that might've been a bit to harsh. We had it all figured out I've had a lot of crushes but I take so long to gather up the courage to ask one out they get a girlfriend
