Something really weird happened in school the other day. As in, really weird. (Haha, I know. I'm talking/typing too much)

Alright. So, in school, we have this sort of dance competition wherein we have to dance a Filipino folk dance with costumes and all that crap. It's actually an integrated project (it's like one BIG project. I swear, my brain is dead.)

We have to turn our classrooms into exhibits, basing everything from the region the dance came from. In e beginning of our presentation, five pairs would be chosen to dance the routine in front of the judges. And guess what? I WAS CHOSEN!

Well, actually, not really. Guy 2, my crush, was chosen first. Then, the leader for the project was like, "Alright, who do you want as his partner?" And they all pointed at me! Shouting my name and voting to be his partner.

(I literally wanted to just dig up a hole and hide there forever)

Then, when the pairs were finalized, I noticed that he was crying. And I'm like, "What's wrong with him?" He was like mad, harshly wiping his tears and all. I thought it was my fault and just told them to remove him from the list. They agreed but let me stay.

He wouldn't look at me, wouldn't share the usual "coincidental" glances and laughs. Nothing. Zip. Nada. He was like super duper mad and I was hurt because I thought he cried because he didn't want me as a partner.

I vented about it to my friends and they were all like, "It's not your fault.", "Don't like him.", "Why would he do that?!"

Even if it was just a day, my feelings decreased by just a bit. JUST A BIT. And maybe transferred to the new kid. Maybe. I talked about it with my best friend before homeroom and she called over my classmate/friend over so that she can confirm if that really happened.

Then my classmate was like, "No, he cried like right after he was called. I'm serious. He was already crying before you were called."

so now I'm feeling stupid. Like, really stupid. But, he kept avoiding me like:

 -Putting his bag far away from mine (he usually places it on my bag or beside it)

 -Not talking to me, AND ONLY ME. He talks with everyone else

 -Make sure we don't share eye contact during class

 -Ignoring me when we were preparing for a project

And many more things that bothered me to the core

I asked people and they just said, "Because he likes you!" "Duh, he's shy."

I don't want to listen to them because the last time I believed my crush liked me back was when I ended up heartbroken.

He started talking to me again (just today -_-) and things are slowly going back to normal. But I can't help but feel that it's a little awkward around him. I seriously don't want the Guy 1 incident to happen all over again.

Any advice? (This is the worst birthday week ever)
