I think my old best friend likes me.
Okay, here’s the story. I’m a real athletic tomboy, so I have lots of friends who are boys and I tend to get along with them more than girls because I do neither makeup nor nails. Even though I know every popular kid in my school(Plz don’t think I’m bragging), my true closest friends are only 5~7 of them including a blond girl named Sophie and a boy that I’m talking about right now(I’ll just call him B throughout the last of the post). Soph and I’ve been known each other for 6 years and I’ve become fond of B about 3 years ago(we’re in 8th grade right now). Three of us often eat lunch together with last of my BFs unless he’s gone to goofy friends of his, and Soph takes the same bus as me which means we live near by each other, so we have many chances to meet while B sees me to practice soccer or basketball together either at his house or my home several days a week. The idea that B might like me first struck me a month ago. I was sitting at a stand, watching his football game(it was a home match) with Sarah who is one of my buddies. I was supposed to be at my soccer match, but it got canceled for some reason and Soph had gone to her tutoring session, plus my parents weren’t home yet which meant that I had to get a ride from other people, so I decided to wait until he was finished ’cause his mom would definitely drive me home since our parents were close, too. I kept calling out stuff like ‘Come on, guys! Let’s get our ball back’ and continued to look and smile at B ’cause he wasn’t playing well unlike his usual performances. All of a sudden, his coach yelled at him when he missed points and I felt bad that he bent his head down which is an attitude he rarely puts on ’cause he’s always the one who cheers me up when I’m down, so I shouted out at him: ‘It’s okay, B. I believe in you, you can do it!’ Weird thing is, he all flushed as he put his helmet back on and went back to his position and I thought I heard a laughter from somewhere, but I didn’t care then. After the game, we walked across the fields to a parking lot where his mom was waiting for us and a few boys whom we know were following us and they began to tease us but I didn’t really mind still even though he was looking back and swearing to stop it in a half-joke, half-serious way. When we got into his car together, his mom was busy talking in her phone, so I started talking to him as usual, all normal stuff, but he kept on looking out the windows and he seemed not paying attention to me, so I asked him all jokingly, ‘Wait, are you mad at me coz I embarrassed you at the game?’ And he answered me all shyly, ‘No, I’m not. But like, the other kids thought you were my girlfriend or something’ and I said, ‘What? That’s ridiculous. But I thought you’d cheer up again if I were there. ‘Cause you know what, I’d be glad if you were there cheering me up when I’m at game’ I don’t know why I said that, but he blushed and looked away and didn’t talk to me through the last of the time except for the time when his mom dropped me home and he had to say bye. I thought he was real cute when he blushed but whatever, I kept thinking that he might like me since that time and he’s become strange from then to these days though he kept practicing with me and he acts all okay in front of our friends but I can see the difference when we’re alone together and I’m kinda worried what I should do if he really likes me.
I mean, I MIGHT like him back. I’m not sure about my feelings toward him. He’s obnoxious, but still popular among girls ’cause I guess he’s athletic and fun to be around(never mind the fact that he doesn’t look that bad). But I’ve not thought of us being a couple. Is it the case a friendship becomes a love? Oh, I’m so confused. What should I do?
I know this is too long, but I’d be so thankful if you guys give me any advice possible. Thanks again, but don’t be rude please.
