She said we were cute together, but I'm not sure how to divide time between the two when I'm over at her place. She always said she felt like he was "stealing me away" and I'm really worried I'm going to cause sibling rivalry when I'm at their place. How do I deal with this?

Good for you for wanting to balance your boyfriend and your friend. It's very easy at that age to trade in your friendships for the boyfriend at the moment. Keep and cherish your friends.
You could work out days that would be good for them. After school Mon-Wed you could spend time with her. Tue-Fri after school with your boyfriend. Then alternate on the weekends. If that seems to schedulized for you then sit your friend down and discuss that even though you're now dating her brother this doesn't mean your friendship is going to end. Just assure her that you will try your best to even out the time spent. Then go from there.
