so, i like a boy who goes to my school, and lives near me. i've liked him ever since 3rd grade... once i told him i liked him but he said he would never like me back. that was in like 5th or 6th grade. now that we are in 8th grade, his group and my group sit together at lunch. his group is the major troublemakers at least one of them is in ISS(in school suspension) at every lunch. I and he even hangs out at this after-school activity called the hub 360 program (look it up.) we joke around and goof off together, but I don't think he sees me the same way I see him. so lately I have been ignoring my feelings for him and I've been looking at him as a big brother (even though I am technically older than him by a few months.) I'm scared to ask him about his feelings towards me because he sort of broke my heart in 3rd grade. (he tried to steal my first kiss, but he kissed my cheek and missed my lips) and I'm scared that if I tell him, then he might tell the whole school some secrets that we shared when we were younger. isn't it sad that a good girl is almost always attracted to a bad boy, and that girls ignore the ones who want to make them happy, and they chase after the once that make them cry? I also act all tough around him, like I don't care about anything like I forgot our past. I think he sees me as just a girl who lives near him, or as an old friend. can people please give me some advice, on what I should do. update 1/18/18: he rejected me... he only likes me as a friend, and he likes someone else...
