So I'm sorta having trouble here.
School's almost out. We went on our 3 day class trip to DC.
As some might remember, I think I posted about a month or so ago about my friend, who I will now call S.
And how S liked me, and I told him I only wanted to be friends, and it actually went pretty well. He said he'd respect that, and within a few days we were back to normal. Or so I thought.
One of my teachers seemed to be really mad at me, or at least a bit harsh. She'd lecture me about stuff that she'd usually let slide, and it was like she was always on my case, particularly about hanging with the group of guys (including S) that I
usually hang out with.
I found out from my friend that the teacher had been talking to
another student about how I was being a jerk and
'leading on' S- someone I'd already
confronted and
told I only wanted to be friends with.
Later on the bus she pulled me away from my group, talking me to sit next to her, where she proceeded to tell say something akin to this:
"Okay so I realize you have fun hanging out with guys, and that's fine. But with guys, any attention you give them is perceived as flirting- particularly when they like you. And so even when you say,
"No thanks, I just wanna be friends."
Then when you hang out with them and are laughing and talking to them a lot and "flirting", they think, 'Okay we really aren't just friends.' And so they think they have a chance again, and that isn't really kind to them."
And basically she said I needed to hang out with them less, particularly S.
At first I was a bit mad. I mean, she meant well, but not only was she a teacher talking to student about another student's (nonexistent) relationships, but she was also limiting my access with my friends, and I didn't really think she was right anyway.
I mean, I had told S I didn't like him only about a month ago. Why would he suddenly think I liked him?
Buuuut I soon discovered she was right. Despite desperate attempts to switch seats on the train ride back (As a sort of test to see if my teacher was correct), S basically just followed me seat to seat. I'd come up with a reason to switch, so would he. I'd come up with an excuse to why I should move. So would he.
It got to the point were he asked if I was avoiding him.
I brushed it off, told him I wasn't, and ended up sitting with him for the 4 hour train ride.
He leaned over so he was definitely passed the line were his seat ended and mine began. Like I had to consciously be always leaning to my right so that we wouldn't be leaning into each other.
Then a girl gets out her camera, telling me she didn't have enough DC pictures. (which at first I believed because she had complained about forgetting her camera during much of the trip, and not having photos.) but it soon became obvious that she had alternative match making motives.
"S, get more in the picture!"
"Get closer so you'll both be in it."
"Can you like put your arm around Kim, S? Yeah, yeah, that's good."
T_T
She later straight up said, "Can you date S?"
Same girl: "Why not? You'd make a great couple!"
Or, my other friend: "I think you secretly like him."
I went on FB for a split second to check something and my crush noticed and messaged me! He seemed really put out when I said I had to have dinner before I could talk and then he kept sending me little jokes and then posting them online after I'd read/replied to them 
) which is just adorable
