Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’ve had feelings for this girl for about three weeks now. Standard high school feelings and all that, but I kinda told my friends I liked someone else. I realize that this is definitely not a perfect solution to the situation, but I didn’t know what else to do. The girl I have feelings for just got out of a relationship a week ago with one of my close friends, and I don’t want to hurt him, even if it was a short term relationship. 

I wouldn’t have even been in this situation if my friends hadn’t stolen my phone and found a shitty poem I wrote in my notes. Like it’s real bad, total roast material, and normally I wouldn’t care, but it was a little personal and it put me in a weird spot. So I lied and said I liked someone else. Ever since then, they’ve been trying to figure out how to set me up, which has caused me and the girl I lied about a little bit of stress. The other female doesn’t know that I said anything, but I can just feel that it’s coming out eventually.

So AITA? And if I am, what can I do to remedy the situation?
