Should I put our friendship on the line and tell him, or should I forever hold my peace?

I’m a sixteen year old junior and I’ve been into this sixteen year old senior in my class for three months now. I’ve never felt this strongly about anyone for this long. But anyway...Yesterday, we both spent the whole day in the principal’s office. He was on the principal’s computer playing NBA and checking Facebook while I was listening to my iPod which has a playlist filled with songs dedicated solely to him. I was also looking at him. (Thank goodness he was too absorbed in playing! XD)

I sang pretty much every song that says “I’ve fallen for a friend” from Colbie Caillat’s “Realize” to Taylor Swift’s “Teardrops on My Guitar”. I doubt that he heard me though. :/ Being alone with him in a room was the best feeling in the world, but it was also the worst feeling in the world because it felt like we were strangers (even though we’ve known each other since elementary).

A few hours later I ended up on the stairwell zoned out, thinking about what happened earlier. I wanted to finally tell him how I feel, but I didn’t. Three of my friends approached me and asked if something was wrong, but I kept denying it until I broke down. I mean, every time I’m around him, all I want to do is tell him how amazing he is...but would he even care? They told me to think it over during the weekend and whatever decision I make by Monday, that’s what I’ll do.

Normally, I would’ve told him by now. But gosh, this boy has gotten under my skin and makes me feel vulnerable and everything.
