What do I do?
So, this boy, let's call him B, I had a crush (Still do, I think) on him, asked him out, he said no, politely, and now, today, period 2, is where we will talk about from here.
We were in history, looking at stuff to do with what country we thought was most at fault for causing ww1, (will not go into my thoughts, as not to spark arguments) and we did like this country roleplay, and once we went to sit down, I had this boy, Z, run over, and put a note on my desk, he said this 'Oh, yeah my name, this isn't from me, this is from someone else, I don't do this kind of thing.' So I read the note, on the front is B's nickname, and then inside is just a number. Now, I am trying to figure out if I am being strung on, manipulated, or B actually likes me back.
Now, L, he is the only one who would give me their number, if it weren't B's of course.
I overheard L, Z, Ma and Mi talking about me in class, too, and they also said stuff about B, crushes, and numbers.
My friends, when they were on their way to the year meeting also overheard them talking about the same thing.
This only further concretes things.
And then at my friend S' house, I put this mysterious number into my phone as a contact (I have iphone) and when I was done, it had an option to facetime this number, this proves that the number is a real number, and that it is an iphone, so tomorrow, I will be asking L what type of phone it is, and then with that, I will pretend I am figuring out what phone is the classes most owned phone.
Kinda wanna call the number, but I'll wait until I am back at S' house tomorrow if I sleepover, because we do that every fortnight.
I also want to walk up to B and say the number to him, see his reaction, and see if it is his number.
Is anyone able to provide some ideas as to what I could do, any help is wanted, this will be the first time I have actually done something like this.
Thanks for reading all of this, it is greatly appreciated.

Hey @The-girl-with-the-fish 
This is a pretty confusing situation that you encounted, but it seems like you have a pretty solid plan for figuring out your situation.
It's good that you are considering the choice of whether to communicate with B to see if the phone number is his. But before asking him about the phone number, maybe also do a further check online whether the number is legitimate on sites such as Reverse Australia or Reverse AU. Because there is still a chance that it could be a previously reported scam number.
Hopefully you would be able to get your answer soon.
Hey @The-girl-with-the-fish 
This definitely sounds like a confusing situation to be in. I think either calling the number or approaching B and asking about the number are good options that you've come up with for figuring out who it is and whether it's genuine.
Have you known either L or B to do this sort of thing before with notes and numbers and such?
I've had this sort of thing happen to me with notes and such when I was in highschool and it was often because the other person was too shy or embarassed to approach or admit in person about crushes and such and they found it easier to facilitate everything over the phone. It definitely makes it more confusing and complicated for you on the receiving end, especially when it's not clear who sent it and you can't tell their intentions. Not sure if a similar situation could be happening here if the intentions are genuine.
Hey @The-girl-with-the-fish thank you for coming online to talk about your experience in class. This all sounds very mysterious and confusing and I wanted to point out how strong it is to be thinking about what to do in this situation where, as you said, you're not sure if you're being strung on or manipulated. How are you feeling about all of this?
It sounds like you have a few options for what you feel comfortable doing and they all involve direct communication, which is a good place to start! I was wondering if you had considered what you will do with the answers you may (or may not) get out of calling the number and finding out who it is, or asking B or L about it directly? Is there anything else you can do to look after yourself while you figure out what option works best for you?
