Alright, I made a new account for personal reasons. This is sort of a weird situation, and I would appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance! :) I'm currently in 10th grade (sophomore year). At the beginning of this year, my best friend and I started a study group for our AP (advanced placement) classes. The study group included my best friend, me, best friend's ex (they're still really good friends), and few other friends. Anyway, every week we would study for awhile and then we would go out for a movie or dinner or something fun. Our group got pretty close and it was a lot of fun. Flash forward to the end of January. I started hanging out with my friend's ex more and more and I started to really like her (oh btw, the problem is about my best friend or anything, they're over each other haha). The girl and I became best friends (z0mg friend zoned!) and we really enjoyed hanging out. For about half a month, I kept it to myself. But then people started talking and thinking we were going out when we weren't. One day in the middle of February, I was hanging out with my best friend and the girl (let's call her Jane, for a lack of a better generic name lol). They started talking about some situation and Jane didn't know what to do. I didn't really get what they were talking about, and they wouldn't tell me. A few hours later, I sort of figured it out. They were talking about what Jane should do since they figured out I liked her. The next week or so, it was a little awkward but we got through it. One day, she randomly brought her library to school and gave it to me to read. Basically, she said that she really liked me...as a friend who she could trust and always makes her smile. She wondered if she would regret not making a move with me or whatever. It made me happy and sad at the same time...I knew I lost my chance to ask her out by then so I never did. We continued being really close friends. Now, flash forward to around 3 weeks ago. Spring break. Jane went on a mission trip and for the first few days, she constantly texted me and whatnot even though her mission trip people don't allow texting. That really made me happy that she wanted to talk to me haha. Towards the end of the week, she texted less and less and I understood because she was doing volunteer work. After she came back, she wanted to hang out with our study group people again...but this time she brought one of her friends from the mission trip. The friend was a guy, a senior, and went to a different school (but nearby). They go to the same church. I sort of got a feeling that she really liked him. For the next week or so, she didn't talk to me as much and I started confirming my suspicions. The Sunday after spring break, one of our mutual friends confirmed to me that Jane told her that she liked the senior. I was really hurt. I started to ignore Jane for a few days and she got really upset that we weren't talking to each other. Finally, a few days ago, we worked everything out and she gave me a hug and we were both glad that we started being good friends again. However, everytime I talk to her, I feel hurt and as much as I hate to say it, jealous. Just a few days ago, the senior asked her to prom and she said yes. I was devastated...but I tried to keep my composure. Now, we don't talk as much as we used to and honestly, I don't know what to do anymore. I still have feelings for her. A few of my close friends tell me the obvious advice - to move on. It's easier said than done. I have never felt this...jealous(?) before. A girl that I liked last year was asked out by some other guy, and I didn't really care much and moved on. This time is different, however, Jane and I were really close friends. We still kind of are. We still hang out, etc. But we're not as close as we were. Basically what I'm asking for here is what I should do. I know I should probably move on but anything else? Thanks again for taking the time to read this. ^.^
