Aw that really sucks
I was in a similar situation with my mate, he told me he liked me a lot, and my first thought was FLATTERY, i had never been more flattered in my life, despite the fact he's not the smartest or best-looking of guys, i really enjoyed the compliment, if ur girl is like me, she would have no reason not to go weird towards you, i ended up being tht much closer to my friend coz i felt so much more special bout myself. Even though i didn't fancy him, i appreciated his compliment so much.
And as for ur re-takes, who cares what ur mates think? ur doing this 4 u, not 4 them. Obviously the exam boards a bit of a dyke if they didnt really consider ur chickenpox, but ignore ur mates if their laughing [they wouldn't be ur real mates if they were] jus focus hard on ur exams, and prove to em u are capable
