Throwaway account I'm 15F, and my older siblings and I often joke about each other's crushes. They attend a public school, while I go to a virtual school, so I don't get out much. Because of this, my family, especially my parents, assumes that I like every guy I talk to.

There's this boy at church who's 18 and the pastor's son. As you can probably guess, he's much older than me. Do I talk to him? Yes. Do I laugh at his jokes? Yes. But do I like him like that? No. To me, he feels more like an older brother than anything else.

Last Sunday was Easter, and we, the youth group, helped with Easter baskets and the egg hunt, which I really enjoyed. I was working with the pastor's son, another boy who is 19, and a girl who's 17. We are the oldest teens who regularly attend church.

While talking outside with my younger sister, the pastor's son, the 17-year-old girl, and another girl who’s 14, we were chatting with a funny church member. We all started laughing, and my aunt was in the car watching. According to her, it looked like only my little sister and I were standing close to the pastor's son. In reality, there were at least six of us outside, and a wagon full of eggs was between us.

Later, she told my mom that during the egg hunt, I was trying to behave cutely and impress him. This was not true. I was actually having a competition with another girl to see how far we could throw the eggs, she won. My aunt claimed I was dropping the eggs "nice and clean," but I know I wasn't. The pastor's son hadn't even been outside when we were hiding the eggs. He came out later, and by the time he joined us, I had already finished my work.

The president of the youth group, whom I affectionately call my auntie, mentioned that we had been working together for the past two years. After my aunt's comments, my mom told my dad, and he responded, “I’m not smiling at you. There’s not a smile on my face. Don’t stand next to him at all. There’s no reason.” I thought this was unnecessary because I really wasn’t standing that close to him.

Then my dad called the youth group president and told her that I wasn’t allowed to help with the youth group anymore. I have no idea why this is happening. My aunt laughed at this, saying, “See there, that’s what happens.”

Now, she has texted me asking if I could watch my younger cousin while she goes out with her husband. I said no. My mom got upset, saying that this had nothing to do with the reason I couldn’t help with the youth group any longer. I believe otherwise. My aunt has done this multiple time. AITAH?
