This whole situation just took a turn for the worse (and is suddenly filled with drama). My best friend sent me an email last night informing me that, while he tried, he cannot 'back off' of this girl. I personally found this quite surprising, especially since I've done that for every other girl that we've both liked.

The fact that he cannot back off period makes it appear as though he does not value our friendship. I most certainly could back off for our friendship, and would willingly, but it seems as though he would not. Completely honestly, I don't know what I would do if he dated her. I wouldn't throw a fit. I feel that I am past that stage. It is not as though we would be competing for a prize, but an actual human being with feelings and the ability to make decisions.

I'm just a bit lost at the moment as to what to do. I really do like her, but this kid is/was my best friend.

And you know what else, I walked into school today with a smile on my face, ready to begin again with my newly discovered knowledge. Then I check my email and... BAM! Also, I don't understand why he couldn't talk to me in school about it.
