That friend that gets in your way.........

What should I do? My crush kinda likes me but his friend is changing his mind. I also knew that his friend and me didn't have a good connection. I also don't want anyone to find out but some people did and now they are going to my crush and telling him and patronizing him that I like him. I'm feeling like these other people are ruining my chance with him and when they ask him if he likes me he doesn't answer but then tells other people he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. What do I do?
