I like this boy, he’s in the year below me. I think he’s really cute and all my friends agree with me. One of my friends knew him and told him I had a crush on him so he dmed me on insta asking if it was true, and my dumbass self denied it therefore offending the cute boy and my friend as I was a waste of both of their times. My friend started yelling at me saying how he could’ve set us up, and how he could’ve made him dump his gf for me. I didn’t even know he was taken. This all happened 5 months ago and I still like him a lot, I really don’t know what to do about it as everytime I see him post something about his gf my chest starts to hurt and it sounds cheesy and all but I really like him and my heart feels like it’s going to burst if I don’t get this out and tell him soon.

I guess I’m afraid of the rejection and embarrassment I may have to face, it doesn’t help that in my school dating someone who isn’t in your year is looked down upon…
