I don’t know how to ask this guy out! 🤪🥵😭

Ok so at my school there is this guy, His fake name is gonna be Steven. Steven is really hot, he’s popular he is really funny and is a sk8r boiiiii. Two years ago Steven asked me out in THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE. He asked me through a friend, in the middle of a quiet class, using the worst question. Story timmme. I sat at a rectangular group table with Steven at the end his friend Ben and me on the side. This class has a really strict teacher and if we spoke in class we would get in a lot of trouble. We were watching a movie and the room was dark. I have a resting bitch face so I’m trying to smile more when doing everyday activities. I was silently smiling when suddenly my peace was broken by Ben! “Do you like Steven?” Now okay... the reason why this is the worst way to ask someone out is because it sounds accusatory. As if there was some rumor about me. My head IMMEDIATELY said “no” only to get a really nervous and embarrassed reaction from Steven. I didn’t understand what just happened because I didn’t seem to UNDERSTAND THAT WAS A PATHETIC WAY OF HIM CONFESSING HIS LOVE FOR ME! Ok so two years later here I am... sitting next to him in class. He doesn’t like talking to me and I want to change that so what do I do?
