Search Results: keeping secrets

Ok I told my crush I like him. I've been keeping this a secret since freshman year. I just turned 16 Monday, an I decided I was going to take more control over my life. So I decided to not let him slip away an never know what could have been. So I told him an he cracked a smile. He told me he had no clue an that I had to much pride to tell him. He made a few jokes about him being so handsome but told me he was kidding. Then he told me when he has his phone he'll ask for my number an call me. The only thing I didn't get from him was an answer. I didn't get a yes or a no I'm guessing it's not a know because he's going to call me. but I'm not sure. I really like him an I'm soo relieved to tell him now the balls in his court.

This year I have been getting close to a friend of mind. I've known her for over a year, but it feels like it's only in the last couple months that we've really gotten to know each other. We're pretty close now, and I trust her a whole lot considering my trust issues and just generally how I am with people.

Unfortunately for me, over the course of approximately the last month or so, I've developed feelings for her brother, who is a couple years older than us and a senior this year. She's already told me about her feelings for someone, but any crush that I might have never came up.

On one hand, I want to be open with her about my feelings for her brother, the same way she's been honest with me. However, her brother seems to be a touchy subject, and from past conversations I've gotten the feeling that she's used to having people like her brother more than her. So although I want to just have it out in the open, on the other hand, I'm afraid she'll be mad or hurt; think I like him more than her, or that I'd choose him over her, which isn't true.

Should I just come out with it and tell her, or just leave it be? It almost feels like a secret I'm keeping, but I don't know what her reaction will be.
