This is some advice from 2yrs into the future:
Don't tell ANYONE who you like unless you want the whole class to know, dumbshit.
Don't blow every tiny opportunity you have with him, there won't be any in the future- (don't refuse to hold his hand in chapel for Christ's sake.)
When he looks at you SMILE like you've never smiled before. X)
One more thing- don't piss your best friend off, okay? Don't shy away from her, she won't like it, trust me.

The rest is yours to figure out.
Good luck and have fun!!!
