don't pressure him about it. Make him your friend and confide in him a little so that he feels you can be trusted. Then let him know you would be ok with it if he was bisexual. After a little while he will open up and admit whatever he is. Then you ca decide to stay with him. Make him think its ok whatever he is so you get the truth

Hey,
I think that you shouldn't worry too much about it, rumours are hurtful and childish, and if you can rise above them then it shows a real strength of character. You're still young, and at 14/15 a lot of people are still working out who they are. The most important thing to remember is that if that by any chance he does turn out to be gay, it is NOT your fault. The same thing happened to me, and I spent a long time beating myself up about it. Realistically his orientation isn't anything to do with you. Although I'd bet that they are just rumours and that nothing will come of them. Just hold your head high and don't bother with them.
Good Luck,

well because you and he are really still very young, and because it is very unlikely that you and he are likely to end up living happily ever after (because as you mature you will both change and probably go in differnt directions), and because you are very, very sensible and wont be indulging in sexual activity for a few years yet, his sexuality shouldnt be a factor in your relationship. Rather focus on the fact you enjoy each other's company, have laughs together and enjoy the same sorts of things
