So I transferred to a new school recently and there’s this girl in my class who helped me ease in. She’s really bubbly and someone who I really get along with. We chat about almost everything and always agree with each other. We’ll call her ABC.
ABC and I usually hung out with each other during lunch because I’m shy and didn’t really know anyone except for her. But after a semester of school, we no longer had the same classes and I was alone at lunch.
My class got a transfer student and I took the initiative to do what ABC did for me. He turned out to be pretty cool and chill. Very confident and opinionated. Eventually me and him become good friends. We’ll call him DEF. For a while I hung out with DEF during lunch and ABC after school.
One day, ABC invited me out for lunch and I went to her class to pick her up. A lot of girls giggled when I came over. We went to our usual spot together and just chatted about how we missed lunch together.
Now here’s where the fuck up begins. ABC confessed to me and I just sat there dumbfounded. It was my first confession and out of panic, just got up and left. No words said or anything.
I found DEF and told him ABC confessed to me and I don’t know what to do. We reasoned with feelings and I went back to ABC with an answer.
ABC wasn’t at our usual spot anymore and so I just searched the school, it didn’t cross my mind to text her. Meanwhile, DEF was telling the entire school about ABC’s confession and my answer, how I was going to reject her.
Rumor spread faster than I could search and led me to ABC and DEF arguing in the halls. ABC was clearly upset at me for telling DEF about the confession, how it just spread, and how she got to learn about my answer. I apologized to her and then fought with DEF for sharing news that’s not for them to tell.
They’re both no longer my friends and I’m pretty much hated by all the girls now.
TL;DR: got confessed to and ghosted them to ask a friend for advice. Friend told the entire school what happened before I could give a reply to the confession. Lost both friends and am probably the most hated person in school.
