My friend Anna is currently dating her boyfriend Franklin for around six months now. Their relationship has been very tumultuous, to say the least. She is very high-maintenance, and expects a lot from Franklin. An example of this is when Franklin didn't have the money to extravagantly ask Anna out with flowers, candy, and a sign to homecoming. She wan't happy, and this resulted in her sending me many TikToks which consisted of homecoming proposals, following up these videos with "I wish Franklin could do this for me." He wasn't able to splurge due to his father being laid off earlier that year, and while she sympathized it, she still was very disappointed. Overall though, their relationship has been okay.
This year, a new student named Levi joined our school. He was seated at a table with Anna, Franklin, and I, so we welcomed him into our group. Franklin and him shared many interests, such as D&D and Brandon Sanderson (the author.) Anna became friends with Levi, but it was a pretty polite relationship. Recently though, I've notice that Anna and Levi have grown VERY close with each other. During the class we all have together, Ann will ignore Franklin more and almost exclusively talk to Levi. She is always doodling on his paper, and picking up his hands to "crack his knuckles." She also kicks his legs underneath the table while laughing loudly. Anna also uses Levi as a leg rest, placing her legs on top of his lap. If they aren't speaking to each other physically, they are texting each other and Anna giggles at his messages. It is quite awkward to be around, considering that Franklin sits right next to her.
This isn't the only new development either. Outside of school, Anna doesn't call Franklin anymore, and mainly calls Levi for any issue with homework, due to them sharing math and science together (Franklin is also in these classes.) I have asked about this, and he told me I "escalated a situation" by asking. She will also say "I love you" to him whenever he helps her with a question (multiple of our friends have heard this on different occasions.) In robotics, we have different groups based on different roles in the club. She switched from the area Franklin was in to be with Levi (her argument was that they needed more people, but I always see her laughing at one of Levi's jokes.) The most recent incident was today. I was taking a bathroom break, and I walk by the cafeteria due to my class being near it. As I'm walking back, I see Levi and Anna together. Levi is in the cafeteria due to being in an online class. However, Anna is in an in-person class. I was very confused why she was there, because her classroom is across the school. It's at least a four minute walk to get to the cafeteria from the room. Later, I asked Levi why she was with them, and he claimed that she was using the restroom. I have a class near the area, and there is a girls' bathroom right ACROSS from her classroom. When I informed him of this, he immediately responded, saying "I never use the school bathroom," and quickly dismissed the topic and said I was "annoying." What should I do with this situation and keep my friends?
TL;DR I think one of my friends is cheating on her boyfriend and I don't know what I should do in this situation and I want to keep all my friends.
