So Almost 4 years ago when I was 11 years old in 6th grade I moved to a new school in a new city, and I met this girl who I'll call Kate. Kate was the first girl from this new town I had a crush on. Fast forward 4 more years to 2018, we're both entering our Sophomore year of High School I've fallen head over heals for this girl. She's made it very clear that she's only into girls, until recently we were hanging out and she told me she's wondering if she's actually bisexual. She's never confirmed a change in sexuality since then, but I've really gotten my hopes up. I just don't know what to do, I've had crushes before but this is the first time I've ever actually felt in love, and is still the longest on going crush I've ever had hitting 4 years in September. The second problem is she's one of my closest friends and I worry that if I ever express my feelings it might make her uncomfortable around me. Kate's funny, extremely compassionate, geeky(which I find very cute) and pretty much the girl of my dreams and I just really wish this could work
