Welcome to the forum Choob
It seems that last year, when you e-mailed this girl to tell her that you liked her, you were surprised that she told her friends and that everyone at church soon knew.
But it's not so surprising. Fifteen year old girls talk about boys ~ especially boys who send then unexpected e-mails, saying that they like them.
She was acting quite friendly towards you and then you denied that you liked her.
Again, not a surprise ~ this is what teenagers often do when they feel awkward and embarrassed ~ but it must have left her feeling a bit confused, especially as you then proceeded to ignore her.
When you finally made contact again, you tapped her on the foot. Personally, I really don't think that this would have helped matters very much, or eased her confusion.
Then you sent her another email saying you liked her, but she replied that she would prefer to remain friends.
After that, she kept looking at you ~ including when playing the circle game ~ but her expression was blank and she didn't speak to you. I suppose that she may not have known quite how to behave ~ this isn't really too surprising, is it, in the circumstances?
A couple of your friends also like her and, since then, she has become friendlier with them, but still looks at you or stays near to you.
What does she want?
Maybe she just wants to know how you really feel.
Is she trying to make you jealous?
Well, since you haven't been too clear about your feelings, she may just want clarification.
What should you do?
Talk to her ~ but be prepared for her to say that she only wants to be friends.
That is what she told you before.
As for the other girl, well, at your age it is not time to settle down, so no-one would expect you to have found your 'one and only', but you shouldn't be pursuing more than one girl at a time.
You are young ~ so are the girls ~ just be friendly and truthful.
Good luck!
