Okay so this year I partnered myself with my best guy friend Steven. Well over the weekend he told me he liked me, and I've never thought of Steven as more then a friend. [[I have a lot of guy friends because of my past experiences with girl-friends. They all seem to be back stabbers so I've given up.]] I told Steven that I honestly find him a really good friend because I hate it when girls go out with guys just because he likes her it doesn't seem far to them. I thought I was being nice, but he wont leave the subject alone and is leaving notes in our locker which honestly make me feel uncomfortable. I dont know if they'll continue because this is the first day back after knowing he likes me- and I guess Cole knows he likes me, and I told him what he was writing and Cole got mad. [[He's always been amazing to me. I love Cole.] I told Cole not to say anything, but he offered me to move into the locker with him and Mike which Im about to take up because Steven just called and is like "Hey Baby.. you didn't write anything back to the notes I wrote to you.. did you like them?" and I was like Um no. and I dont feel comfortable with you saying those things Steven I dont feel the same way about you. So Steven got mad and I guess Cole did talk to him=\\ and is like You like Cole dont you? Which I might, I've known him for so long but thats none of his buseness. But I was like He's being nicer about this then you are. You know I don't like you so stop with the notes... or I really am gunna move in with him. Which I guess Steven doesn't want but I dont know what would make Steven act this way, Ive known him forever, and he really is my closest guy friend so if someone could explain his hostility to me it would be greatly appreciated. and I guess people are telling me that because Cole offered immediatly for me to move in with him that he likes me which isn't the biggest problem I have at the moment. Stevens bothering me though, telling me I have pretty eyes, and makes me feel awkward and Im afraid Cole and him are gunna get into a fight because you should see the way Cole looks at him=X it kinda scares me. What do I do. Coles the friend that would kill anyone that hurt anyone of his friend, and I dont need them getting in a fight which Cole is debating he told me. and I dont know what to do with Steven. Its the begining of the school year and already this is happening... this is gunna be a fun year.

You've done a good job of clarifying the situation for him, and told him clearly to stop. Try giving him a chance to stop. His hostility might just have been because he is inexperienced and insecure, and bringing another guy (Cole) into the equation brought his testosterone up a bit too high.
So give him the chance to shape up and apologize. If he does, let it go. People make mistakes, especially with their first bumbling attempts at romantic feelings.
If he keeps it up, shoot him down very clearly. It's not Cole's job to talk to him and tell him no. You can’t always count on having other guys around. So, it’s your job to stand up for yourself. Try to keep Cole as out of it as possible. Getting him too involved in your dealings with Steven will only cause badness. Tell Cole you are a big girl and he should back off a bit and let you handle it. You’ll tell him if you need to move lockers. If you need to move, then move.
