When I was in 10th grade, preparing for my pre-board exams, I developed a crush on a college guy. However, he never noticed me, as he was always surrounded by attention from all kinds of girls. One day, my best friend – or rather, my only friend at school – teased me, saying I never share anything. She said that as best friends, we should tell each other everything, from our crushes to our first kisses.

Fearing that she might leave me and I'd go back to being that lonely, weird girl, I decided to tell her about my little crush. The next day, as I was leaving school, the guy suddenly approached me, trying to impress me. I knew right away that she had told him because she was popular and knew almost every guy from nearby schools and colleges. I felt betrayed and embarrassed that she shared my secret. But, with such a handsome and charming guy paying attention to a nerd like me, I decided to let it go.
