It's awkward and it's hs romance but it's so dumb lmao, I'm just saying, if anyone's ever been a teen, yk how easy it is to brush off and lie abt stuff, it is never that big of a deal, esp if its like asking someone of their relationship status, it's so easy to just say "yea so like a friend of mine was interested in you at the time, that's why I asked" Mc is genuinely overreacting
