Have you ever felt jealous of other couples? Have you ever felt being the third-wheel? If so, tell us your story.

So yeah, the story begins when I joined my college. First year, new faces, new chapter.
Telling about me, I am a laid back person. Doesn't talk much, don't like participating in any programs, a hombody...
But I got a friend on the first day itself. I was so happy. A girl from my class even asked if we know each other before college.
I thought I was making a progress, trying to smile and talk and all that stuff. But I was s wrong. One guy told me that everyone thinks I am so arrogant. That set my mood off. I was so sad. During these days I started noticing a guy. But I wasn't that much bothered. But you know how feelings works right..
One day my friend told me that he asked her about me. I was so excited and happy to hear that. That day students in my class created a whattaspp group and they all started introducing themselves. And me being me only saved his number. Next onwards I started seeing his status, and there was something in me pushed to put status thinking maybe he will reply (stupid heart). And he did! one day he replied to my status, I felt so happy.. like words can't describe it. We started texting, talked about almost everything. He even flirted with me! it was the first time a guy I was interested in was actually talking to me. I really thought he liked me. But fate is always my enemy. Suddenly I felt like he is not interested in texting anymore. I tried initiating conversation but it all end in vain. When I went to class, I hoped he will come and talk to me. But whom I am kidding, he didn't even looked at me. He acted like he didn't even know me.For a second I even thought all those chatting till 3am was my hallucinations and it didn't even happen. I used to put status like a mad girl for days in hope he will see it and reply to me. It was the first time I shared some of my feelings with a boy and it ended like this. I even asked him if he really knows how I look like. He replied me some stupid stuff. It was the first time I cried because of a boy. I cried amd tried to move on, but still fed my heart with hopes of maybe him being nervous to talk to me. After someday my friend told me he texted her amd that they became so close now. It broke my heart, obviously. Then one day he proposed her and just like that they became a couple. And me like always became alone. Everyday I see them being happy and sitting close,with his hands around her waist and being all smiley.
The only thing that came out of it for me was some of my poems:/.. I always try to put a distance with them. My heart can't handle anymore hurt....Then I understood the never ending craving to become the other woman..
