I (14F) am having relationship struggles/social struggles with a guy (15M). What do I do?

For context I need to go back to Grade 8. So 2023-24. I had a crush on this guy and I was 12? And he was 13 (for the record I am a year younger than everyone in my year as I skipped a grade) and he was my first crush and I went all in. I wrote him three love letters (he ripped on up) and I was obsessed. Eventually I got over him. But almost every crush I’ve had ever since has been in his social circle (I live in a medium sized town in Canada and almost every guy there plays hockey). Now let’s go to grade 9. Another guy, TWO WEEKS into my first semester says he likes me. And I laughed in his face and apologized immediately after because he caught me off guard. but we’ve had good banter since then and we’re definitely friendly. Now, a couple days before V-day a friend (female btw) of a new guy (all THREE of them are friends BTW, this is important) and asks me what I think about him. I told her nothing much since I didn’t know him and he was in our math class but kind of loud. Valentine’s Day, he sends me a Candy-gram. With the cutest, cheesiest message ever. And I thought it was a prank. You have to understand that the first guy kind of traumatized me because he ripped one of my love letters in front of our 8th grade class and i laughed in the other guys face so i thought it was like vengeance. I sent him a note through mutual friends that was basically: let’s just talk in person. Thanks for the gram. Safe to say it wasn’t a prank. And he actually likes men. For some reason he and his friend group think I rejected him. And he’s like a kicked Puppy but I’m too socially anxious to talk to him in person and he won’t add me back on Snap. A few days before I sent the note back, I was added into a group chat with him and TWICE I was removed, one by another friend of his and one by him. The next day, I texted the second guy if this was a prank. He got mad at me and asked me to stop asking him dumbass questions and he’s mad at me. So…any help?
