Okay first off I need to use code names for some people

My crush: Ken

My best friend (girl): Tess

My friend (boy): Sam

Btw ken is sam’s older brother

Sooo me, Tess, and Sam are all in the same friend group and I’ve had a crush on ken for the longest time (he just graduated so he’s a freshman senior and the rest of us are juniors)

Anyways Sam and I have been becoming better friends and I think of him as the brother I never had (and he knows this) so we’ve been hanging out this summer one on one, As well as in our group. I also go to his house sometimes because I can walk to it (and his family kinda adopted me due to family problems at home) basically his family thinks of me as another sister. Well... he starts texting me everyday, asking if I’m okay, complementing me, and random questions from time to time. This isn’t really typical of him with anyone.

I’m kinda sceptic about this and making sure I leave a good amount of time between each of my texts and making sure that he knows I think of him as a friend, but there were many signs that he likes me.

ALSO let me just point out that he knows I like ken (his older brother) thanks to a good game of truth or dare a few weeks ago.

So today’s the first day of school and Tess and I go back to her house after school to do homework and whatnot. Sams texting and asking me about my day (but like 5 questions at a time and he responds to my texts right away even though I text back every 5-10 min)

So I come to the point where I tell tess that I think this guy has a crush on me (I don’t say sams name because it would be awkward for our friend group) after I’m done with explaining what he’s been saying and how he’s been acting she responds with “yea he definitely likes you... and I know you’re talking about sam...”

Not only am I kind of shook that she guessed correctly but THEN she says that she HAS A CRUSH ON SAM.

Now I’m freaking out and I don’t know what to do and when I came home I had an anxiety attack about this. I don’t know what to do and I really need some advice!!!!!!!
