I have this friend who I met a few months ago. We became almost like best friends (emphasis on almost) until I noticed something..she follows me. If I don't show up for lunch one day she looks around the school for me. If I don't show up to meet with her and our "possy" in the morning one day, she goes everywhere to find me, and this just creeps me out. On top of that, she ALWAYS needs my help with math homework. Always. Whenever I help her, she just says "I don't know how to do it" and when I show her, she scoots so close to me and it makes me feel like punching her. I was doing my homework this morning and said I was busy so she sat there looking at me while I did it.

Anyways, I told another friend about this and SHE told HER. And so she cried during first period and ugh. What should I do?

Is there any possible way she could like you? She's a girl, you're a boy... maybe she wants your help to get closer to you, and possibly has a crush on you. That's why it may have hurt her so much, because not only did you not feel the same way, but found it weird. If this isn't the case, then maybe she just really cares about you. If you've been an important friend to her for a while now, she may depend on you to be there with her.
