When she asked who else is coming I said that I was thinking 'just you and me'. And she said, 'You and me hm? Interesting.' But then she said she's already going out with some other friends tonight, and suggested next week, and we sort of settled on next Friday.I agreed, basically, but then I suggested tomorrow (Sunday) but she was reluctant to go out tomorrow night because we have school on Monday. Does this mean...she's interested in at least trying the relationship out...? She's delayed it until Friday...but then again she didn't say no. What should I do now? I'm so confused, but I want to make this work! And I'm afraid it's going to be awkward too when we see each other at school next week...Thanks for your help!

I probably should have mentioned that she's one of my best friends so we know each other quite well and see each other every day already. But I don't think that makes much of a difference.
Thanks again!

Don't read too much into it, wait til your date on Friday. It's nice to have something to look forward too. I'm guess she is trying to not seem too eager.

Good for you for picking up the phone and calling her. Aunt SVC is very proud of you!
She is interested in spending time with you as she agreed to the date... it does not mean she wants to go steady or sleep with you just see how you two click... she didn't DELAY it... you can't expect her to drop everything and go out with you... it's better to make the plans in advance...
just smile at school and if you talk you treat her like anyone else with the added benefit of saying how much you look forward to your date...
she's interested... she wouldn't have agreed to go out with you if she was not...

Most men, and not just the younger ones, feel nervous asking a woman out so you are not alone. The important thing is she agreed to go out with you so is interested enough to meet up.
She could be trying to play it cool and not look too interested or she might be a little interested. You'll find out when you meet up with her.
Enjoy your date!

It will only be awkward if you allow it to be awkward. See what happens on Friday, until then, keep it casual. There is no reason why school should be awkward.
She seems like she might be interested. See what happens. Good luck.
I hope that helps.
