I really need to talk with A. He still likes me, and I still like him. However, today on the bus, I was talking to this one guy, who I'll call S. S and A hate each other, and S beat up A last year. I don't know if he was only saying this because he hates A, but he said, "I don't know why you went out with that f**. He doesn't deserve you. You're the kind of girl he calls a slut." Also, S is trying to set me up with one of our (and A's) mutual friends, J. These three guys are all in the grade below me. J is cute, but the little kid kind of cute. I get the feeling S likes me but puts his friends first, and A also said S has a girlfriend. What makes me think S likes me is that he usually leaves his friends to come talk to me, and I usually find him staring at my legs. Plus, he said, "A doesn't deserve you." S is the little kid type of cute as well. I only think of S and J as friends. Now, I don't know what to think of A. I'm not sure I should believe S, as they hate each other and he may just be making things up. However, S's story would make sense. I really need to talk to A about it.
