i hate you forever and always

hello, I am Britt. I am here to tell you my "i hate you" story. Well my best friend, Tate, Tate Langdon is the "popular-jock" kind of guy and me, I am one of those people that have 2-3 people they socialize with on a daily basis. Tate and I started growing apart since Sophomore year and now we are Juniors. He confessed he loved me during 8th grade and me i refused that he loved me, i cant imagine the thought of being loved so that day i told him i hated him forever and always and that turned out to be our thing. saying " i hate you" every now and then meaning " i love you" i do admit i love Tate but now he has a girlfriend. will she ruin my chances with him?
