Search Results: when the popular boy likes you

In the movie F The Prom, a girl used to date someone who turned out to be a big bully & also left her for another girl. However, despite how he hurt her & how he was objectively a bad person (due to being a bully) she still cared about him, so she warned him about a prank before he fell trap to it.

Another boy did something similar. He used to be best friends with a girl, until high school when she abandoned him to join the popular clique, and didn't do anything to stop it when they were bullying him. She even dated the guy who ruined his reputation (by pantsing him on the first day of school when he was wearing tighty-whiteys, thus earning him the nickname Tighty which would follow him all 4 years). After that guy cheated on her, she reunited as friends with the boy nicknamed Tighty, an even had a budding romance with him. But then she went to prom with the jerk who cheated on her, thereby breaking Tighty's heart because she decided to go to prom with the guy who made Tighty's life a living hell. However, Tighty still cared about her, so he tried (but failed) to stop his friends from pulling a vengeful prank on her.

Although I think these people deserved what they had coming (especially the bully), I can understand why the girl and guy tried to protect them from harm. I've done the same thing because I cared about someone, because we used to be good friends, even though they were objectively a bad person & ended up hurting me.

So what about you? Have you ever done that?
