I am unbelievably infatuated with a female in my year, and I spend my break times and lunches dodging her at all costs. Nobody can ever find me at break because I'm walking up and down the main corridor repeatedly until the bell goes and I then take the route she doesn't take to her next class.....
I've liked her for almost 2 years now and she doesn't seem to give a crap for me. Trust me, it was a massive blow to my confidence, and her friends pissing me off at every moment is a reason I just don't hang around with my friends at any free time....and one or two of my teachers have actually asked me if I have any friends....
I basically use all of my lessons to socialise - some people think I'm a bit anti-social!
Sometimes, bad things happen for a reason. Just think of it as a learning curve. How you deal with these learning curves shapes who you are. Don't avoid everyone at breaktimes and lunchtimes because of a minor thing like this. There are some things in life you have to adopt a "grin and bare it" attitude towards.
As for her friends, just ignore them. I know it is easier to say than do, but showing your agitation of them will encourage them to do it more often. If you ignore them, they'll soon get bored and probably will stop. Simply put it down to "banter".
Mini anecdote for you. One of my friends liked this lass all the way through Secondary and Sixth Form. It was an open secret amongst the year group. At the Y13 prom, one part of the night was an awards ceremony, with one of the categories being "Cringiest Couple". A few people voted for my friend and his crush. They didn't win, but they got a shoutout. He still hasn't forgave us for it.
