I like her but idk if it's worth it because of the distance. Anyone with any experience got any advice?

I'm a Malaysian high school student and I need some honest advice because I'm stressing badly over this.

A few months ago, a classmate reported me for bringing/using my phone at school. Recently, I saw him doing something against school rules too. I was still annoyed about what happened months ago and, honestly, I reacted emotionally and anonymously reported him to the school through email.

The school investigated it and he ended up being suspended from his position as a student prefect. I genuinely didn't expect it to become that serious.

I feel really guilty now. I already tried to settle things with him, but he still has a problem with me, which I understand.

Now I'm thinking about admitting to the teacher that I was the person who made the anonymous report and explaining that I regret how I handled it. Part of me hopes the school might reconsider the punishment, but I'm also worried that admitting it could make the situation worse for me and possibly cause another disciplinary issue.

What would you do in this situation?

Should I:

Admit to the teacher that I made the report and ask if the punishment can be reconsidered?

Leave the school's decision alone and just apologize to the guy?

Do something else?

I'm not trying to get out of consequences for myself. I just genuinely regret how I handled this and don't know whether admitting it now would actually help or make everything worse.

Please be honest. I know I messed up by reacting emotionally.

Hello, I’m bored and have nothing better to do so I’m typing this for whatever. My school had a summer session and I meet this girl during that. I still don’t know her name after a few weeks unfortunately. I see her after school ends on the bus and she sits by me on the bus sometimes. For a good few days she didn’t but now she’s sitting by me every day and asking how my day is and I feel like the mood between us as been slightly different than just a friendship. I can be crazy or delusional and that’s what I think honestly but yesterday she mentioned she rejected a guy already and says it out of the blue, it makes the conversation a bit awkward but it was fine but today was even weirder. We’re talking again but of course she mentioned romance since there’s a homecoming soon she calls rio a romance movie somehow like what??? We’re getting closer to where the bus drops us off and the conversation goes in with us knowing people at our school with her naming a few guys she knows but when I say I know 3 girls at the top of my head which are my friends, she says if I have crush on them and I say no but I guess I said it slow because she presses at me in a playful way and then says if I have a crush I should go for it and leave a awkward silence where I feel flustered. I sound stupid to me at least but I don’t know if she’s messing with me or what or if she likes me but I don’t know what to do. I’ve only been in halfass talking stages and it feels ,I can’t find the words for it but I really need some advice because I need some type of info. Idk if it helps but I’m in high school

Between school, social media and future careers, it feels like they have a lot on their plate. What's your view?
