My crush just asked who I liked

During lessons today in class my crush who is kind of my friend asked me who I like eventually. So it all happened when person x hand out a sheet and then she told me that x person likes her but she wouldn’t date x person. Then she said to me that she thinks I like y person. And I denied. She then proceeded to ask me do you have someone you like…

I’m like fucking hell, I don’t want her to know. But I chose not to lie and said yes, I like someone. She then goes on to give the owwww sound. After that I can feel my face boiling up and I don’t know if I plush but I just hoped that she didn’t saw me plush.

At the end of the day, I don’t think that I should have a relationship yet because I want to focus on my academic (school) goals. And pls don’t swarm the comments with go ask her out lol haha!
