Since when did it start?

In that year, I did befriend a few people, Liam and Jasper. Other than them, I also befriended Gabriella and obviously, Jessica. I didn't really remember how I befriended them, it just sorta happened. Well, back in the whole year prior or 7th grade, I didn't really interact much with Jessica, somehow I just had an odd feeling towards her, maybe I was just being paranoid with befriending and trusting people, I shouldn't be overthinking stuff like that, a friend is still just a friend, oh how I was so wrong trusting her before.

Well, continuing off, I'm in the friend group with Liam and Jasper, there were around 5-6 other people in the group, but I didn't really know them well to interact with them. I didn't plan on being close friends with Jessica, but I guess fate has other plans 'cause turns out, she was already friends with Liam and Jasper since primary. so, yeah, we all became one group.

Now, I'm in 8th grade and the learning materials are quite difficult and confusing, I have a few tests that I managed to fail with a score around 50ish or 60ish but the rest of the subjects are understandable. I'm still confused how the friend group even started, but I do remember that I first became friends with them was from Liam, he was the first to chat me out of the 3. And so the group had already existed, The 3 of them had been a group for quite a while and I just swooped in, yeah.

One day though, I have like a feeling? Something towards Liam, do I like him? Is it just my brain tricking me to think that I like him? It's weird, I don't know anymore. Well, in break time or lunch period, I was together with the group, eating lunch. Maybe I was just thinking too much, I don't like him right? Hmm, I think I should probably tell Jessica to see what she thinks.

In that same week on another day, I managed to ask her in break time, we're both not in the same class but coincidentally, I was in the same class as Jasper, while Liam and Jessica were in the same class together. So I asked her, "Hey, so I just wanted to tell you something…", she just looked confused and asked "…What?"

"Yeah, so I've been thinking about it, and I think... I like Liam" hesitating while I was still confused if I did like him or it's just my brain tricking me, cause there was some instances where I thought I liked him but it just turns out that I just respect or admire them.

"Oh.. Well, I didn't wanna tell you, but now after you said it, I also have something to tell you..."

"Eh? What is it?"

"I...also like Liam"

I just stared in shock, did I make a mistake? I said I liked a boy to someone who also likes the same person I liked?? Well... If that's the case, I should just give it up. She's been friends with him since forever and I don't like to mess with it. Besides, it's also better to maintain friendship between girls then fight them over a boy.

"Oh, then you can have him, it's fine"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, so what're you planning to do now?"

"I mean.. I'm planning to c…fess to him, I guess"

Well, I just nodded and the bell rung, indicating that break time was over. The next week, I see her taking glances to Liam, probably trying to have a moment where she can confess to him. I don't want to have to do anything with her confession, so..

Whom should I talk to? Hmm, Gabriela's currently studying, maybe Jasper?

Jasper's already sitting beside Liam, so might as well.

"Hey Jasper, you seem real quiet, something going on?"

"Uhh, no? I just like the peace and silence"

"Gee, your silence is real troublesome aye?" To be completely honest, I don't really know how to start conversations, normally it just comes with the flow.

While I was trying to have a small conversation with Jasper, Jessica made a move on Liam, woo.
