My Friend Said Something To Me- What Does This Mean?

I am the type of girl who sits in lessons and only speaks when spoken to. Very shy- but today I decided to speak up. It was maths 4 lesson. This guy who sits in front of my had made one of those fortune tellers. On one of the flaps it said for a free hand job, talk to Jess (My mates name). Well she crossed her name out and replaced it with Claire (me). This boy had done the fortune teller and it said "For a free hand job, talk to Claire". He said to me "Claire can we meet at 6 for this hand job?" And I knew what he ment then because he showed me and I just went "Nah, can't make it then- 5 OK?". Usually I would just put my head down and go red but I didn't. The on the way to tech (5th Lesson) then Jess said to me "I don't like you being confident, I prefered you being shy". She is the most two-faced person you will ever meet, and I'm pretty sure she talks about me behind my back but without her I got nobody to go with in English. What did she mean by this? I'm not a little girl- I'm 14- And it was a joke!!!

1. Little girls shouldn't be talking like that. Edit:Oh, You're 14. Have You ever paid a bill, or an adult fare? No, I thought not. You're still a little girl, a child, that's why they call it a childs fare.
2. Haha, nice. Your friend Jess has some confidence issues. Honestly by what she said, it sounds like you stole the spotlight from her, or more than likely got a guy to laugh with you that she was interested in. You made people laugh and got them interested in you; and not her. Get my drift? :) That's pretty shallow of her that she expects you to stay quiet and shy when she's around. Forget her; you should take pride in your confidence to speak up.
3. She's just worried u will start gettin more attention than she will. Dw bout it u should say wot ur thinkin ... I say good on you... dont listen to her she's just jealous and annoyed that you didnt get embarassed like she hoped. xxx
4. if she is an out going person, she obviously feels threatened by u suddenly being confident and is scared that u will take the center stage so to speak. if she is a shy person, she doesnt want attention drawn to her and so feels exposed. if she cant understand that you have a hidden confidence, then she is not a true friend hope that is helpful xxxx
5. Good for you for showing some confidence! I think that when people make friends, they make friends cause they look for certain aspects of that person that they want in a friend, and maybe she wanted a friend that was shy and didnt say much or get attention? But that's not your problem, and it's great that you feel able to show confidence now and then... You should never let a lack of confidence, or not wanting to upset friends stop you from having a laugh...
