READER’S QUESTION: “Hey Evie, I never thought I'd find myself in this situation and I'm honestly shocked. My best friend recently told me in confidence that she's queer and has been in love with me for a long time. We've been friends since junior high, and we're now seniors at the same high school. I had no idea she felt this way, and she's never so much as hinted that she was into girls. This kind of threw my world upside down and I have no clue how to move forward.
