Pitted Against One Another

azuriteAs of late, I seem to be thinking and/or writing about other people and their problems, and how they effect me, or how I interpret them. I guess this is pretty common, so here goes:
I have two friends, both a year younger than me. We're all in the same class. One of them, let's call her G, is in my class period, while our other mutual friend, L, is in an earlier period. Like any class, we compete for varying things. In this class, we're competing for... squad drill. Yes, this class is JROTC. Feh, I write about it too much.
Have I not mentioned I'm BACK in RO? Heh... I'm such a hypocrite...
Anyways, so G and L are like best buds, but G is my friend too. It's not a matter of G and L leaving me out or whatever; rather, L has been leaving G out-- ditching her, and G comes back to me rather angry and upset. The two were competing in the squad drill competiton, and today, there was a screw up in the tallying of scores.
At first, L thought she won, and was ecstatic, going around telling everyone. She was so happy! Sadly, the teachers thought -or maybe knew- there was a mistake in the grading, so they told the girl who wrote the scores up to erase them, much to L's dismay.
Everyone was chewing their fingers off, wanting to know who really won. Another class name was written up, then erased. For almost twenty minutes L and G were sulking about who was really the winner.
L was practically in charge of a class and the people that had competed, and was competing herself for the title of best squad. My friend, whom I'm much closer to, G, didn't go up herself, but I know she spent a lot of time training the cadets that did go up.
Here's the real kicker: the cadet that currently -and still supposedly- won is a guy I'm crushing on... bad, bad bad... he's two years younger than me. That's not the real problem at hand. I've got a friend, L, who's mega-depressed because she was "gypped" out of a win, and my crush and G's cadet who trained so hard to win, not sure if they won or not... ;_;
Geeehh... what do I do???
