romantic trouble
for context, we're both in high school. So there's this guy, we'll call him Jack, we knew of each other since middle school but just started being friends as of November 2025. We got really close, and are now best friends. He likes this girl who goes to a diff school, we'll call her Belle. So Jack and Belle are pretty close, and Jack knew Belle before he knew me. He's had interest in her for over two years. They just recently confessed they had feelings for each other about a month ago. Of course, I supported him, and was super pumped, as a best friend should be. But...I think I have feelings for him. I know, normally it's the guy best friend that likes the girl, but it's opposite. Everyone at school ships us (like 12 diff people have asked if we're a thing) but he REALLY likes Belle. I've tried ignoring it, but I tend to have him in my head more often than not. One night, a big group of friends was watching a movie (it's a tradition) and we shared a blanket. it was over our shoulders, and we were relatively close. That was in February. Later, he confessed I was on his 'list' (sort of like a little list of people you like and consider dating, we made it up) AT THE SAME TIME AS BELLE, but said I only like Belle now. I've told him multiple times I do NOT like him, as rumors had been surfacing that I had a 'massive crush' on him, which i never told anyone I did. I've tried convincing myself we're just best friends, but idk what to do anymore. Please help! (sorry for any grammatical errors and/or the length of this post)
