<human>: First post. Yay. :p I'm 17 and I've been dating this guy for six months. He's incredibly important to me and we get along very well. About a month ago he was arrested for possessing marijuana and was released on bail. 

While my boyfriend was still in jail, his friend (we'll call him Thomas) approached me about helping to pay to get my boyfriend's car out of impound. I have a part time job in fast food and usually have a decent amount of money in the bank so I agreed. I gave Thomas $260 and he agreed that he would pay me back in installments.

I didn't think about it until recently when my boyfriend told me that Thomas expected him to be collecting the money and giving it to me. Which he has not been doing. I'm not sure if I didn't understand what Thomas meant but now my boyfriend is upset about it.

And insists he owes me the money. I feel very uncomfortable by this, even though my boyfriend recently got a job. I've never had anyone owe me money, let alone someone that close to me. I'm not sure what to do. I don't want money to be an issue between us. At the same time, it's not a particularly small amount of money for me.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I loaned $260 to my boyfriend and his friend, his friend was supposed to pay me but didn't, now my boyfriend owes me that money and it's awkward.
