It can't be more obvious. However i'm concerned of the age gap, is it a big deal?

Don't think of the age gap at all. 2 years isnt much. For one my boyfriend is two years older than me. I liked him when i was in grade 10 and he was in grade 12. Now I am in grade 12 and we've been dating for 2 years. Remember that everything in life is a risk, so if you like her and want her take the chance. Who knows maybe in 2 years you could be in my position telling someone else to not worry about the age gap. I know may friends who are in a age difference relationship. Once you are out of high school and in the working world you will realise that many couples aren't the same age. So take the chance if you really like her.

I am smiling as I write this...my husband is 11 years younger than me! Age gaps are important when you are young because your interests change very quickly. Why not get to know her as a person - she may prove too immature for you, or just like you as an older boy (that is an exciting trophy at her age!). But don't rule out a friendship with her just because of the age difference...who knows you may even LIKE each other!

You might get a bit of stick off people at school, but they are probably just jealous :)
Good luck with it if you pursue something with her.
