Who wants to jump in a tangled mess of high school drama?

I feel like this is something you hear about in a bad sitcom.

So there's a girl I've crushed HARD on and loved for about 2.5 years now. We're actually good friends now. Let's call her Laura. So go back about a year. Laura has a really good friend, Moxie. Moxie was friendly enough and in an attempt to be closer to Laura I befriended Moxie, and soon me and Moxie became good friends as well.

I had written this huge long spiel, listing evidence like a Sherlock Holmes wannabe (but actually) and then realized as friendly and polite as you guys are, not one wants to read pages and pages of drama. Basically:

-Rumors abound Moxie and Laura are together. I say wut. Remember, these are my two good friends.

-Moxie and Laura deny it (last year, as in maybe last March-May. Then people stopped talking because we're teenagers and we get bored easily.)

-Suddenly this year they're super duper tight, I'm fairly certain I heard them kissing, they act differently towards each other (i.e. one's very protective, the other get's this puppy dog face when she sees her), Moxie gets almost passive aggressive when I mention Laura or things we did together. Basically, I'm almost positive they're in a relationship. I know, it sounds like a big leap, but you're not around these girls the way I am. Almost positive. Almost.

Don't forget this whole time I have a major, major crush on Laura.

Remember how at first I befriended Moxie to get closer to Laura? And now I CAN'T do anything with Laura because I'd be betraying Moxie because now she's my friend EVEN THOUGH I WAS CRUSHING FIRST THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I ALREADY ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE IN A RELATIONSHIP AND THEY SAID NO but that was last year and things change, people change and if I ask again and they say yes then it's not just suspicions, it's real and I'll have just sealed the nail in my coffin of romantic prospects.

I'm closer with Laura than with Moxie. Please don't tell me to admit my feelings to her because I think it would break more than it heals. But should I ask her about Moxie? Or are they trying hard to stay in the closet and like the fact that I'm a naive social idiot that won't out them?

Lik dis if u cri evri tim.

Also, I'm not used to using this site so I'm not used to the emoticons, but don't these remind you of telophase?

 

It does. It really, really sucks. And a few months ago, at the very end of last year, I was so sure that Laura had a crush on me, little stuff like our feet touching under the table and staying there, and then suddenly...

I just keep telling myself that if I really loved her, I'd be happy if she was happy, and being with Moxie must make her happy.

Thanks for the hug though
