Ok, I will reply to the Hannah and A&Alover first, then Sel's! :)

@AusllyCabbieBade Ok, you should try a hot compress, that should work. And Hannah, believe it or not, Advil does work! I took advil when my foot was hurting and it really helped!

@A&Alover I wasn't following your story from the start so I'm a little confused. If a friend is ignoring you there are a few methods you can use. One, you can ignore them back. I did that before, and then they eventually come around. If you're ignoring them and they're ignoring you, they will eventually think "why are we ignoring each other". But, doing that also can backfire. Sometimes it just makes you distant from your friends and it breaks friendships. So, number two, you can also talk to them. Pull them aside and explain things to them. Tell them what's on your mind, ask them why they are ignoring you. On the other hand, sometimes, our friends can just be so stubborn that they won't want to listen. If I were you, I would do number two, then one. Try to talk to them. If it works, cool beans! If not, just ignore them. If they're not gonna listen to you and/or accept your apology, then that's their problem. They'll realize themselves that they're breaking their own friendship.

@Sel Thank you Sel! So much! That means a lot to me. I really wish I could just come out and talk to her but it'd be so weird. I feel like she'd laugh at me. We're not really that close were we can just talk like that, ya know? I mean and this girl is really popular! I don't want her to go to her friends and say "Ya know what Matt said to me earlier??". OMG that's awesome advice! I think compliments might work! I remember once, in gym, we were playing this flag game were everyone was wearing flags and we had to pull each other's off, like a fight to the death (Hunger games style :P). And she was in the top three and I screamed "Go ____!" (would it be weird if I said her name here?) I saw a smile break out on her face a bit but then she refocused. I feel like it was directed at me. I hope I don't sound weird! But yeah so I will try that. I guess I could try and talk to her about our friendship, but I just don't see it happening. It'd be too soon. I think she thinks I don't like her and vice versa. I really don't know. I remember once in literacy she asked me to pick up her paper off the ground and I did and then when I handed it to her, she stared at me for a second or two. But it wasn't a meaningful stare. She had a blank face. Idk what she was looking at. But it still made me happy! I could go on and on about her! But anyway thank you so much Sel!!!

I'm going to reply to yours in a new comment, it'll be long!
