I'm 14(15 next month) and he's 15, almost 16. Now that we're in high school we hardly ever see each other, and I hate it. We never get to talk, ever. Anyways, today my 1st block class went to the library, and so did his. So I finally got a chance to talk to him in 7 months. We took that as a chance to really talk and catch up. And he told me he dipped tobacco over the summer, and he stopped about a month ago when he got caught. I was shocked, because he's a really good guy. I also felt happy that he'd be so honest with me. Anyways, sitting there and talking to him for that 30 minutes, really made me like him in a way more than a friend. I remember last year I always liked him a little, but today was different. I've been thinking about him every since we left the library for the next class. The thing is I want to tell him I like him, but I don't want to ruin our friendship. He means so much to me, and I'm not just saying that because I like him, but because I love him as a friend. What should I do? Mind, that we never see each other. I guess today was kind of a coincidence. Two teachers brought their classes to the library at the same time.

 I know how you feel, honey.
Me and my friends who didn't have classes together would have notebooks with eachother, as a way to keep together. I would right something and if we passed in the halls, I'd hand them to notebook. They would write in it, and pass it back. I still have many of these notebooks, and they are nice little keepsakes from highschool.
Maybe you can do this with your maybe-more-than friend? Get to know him a bit more, since its been so long since you were talking regularly. Get his phone number, talk to him when you do homework. If you still feel that way when you reconnect more, I'd say go for it. Relationships in Highschool are wonderful things that help you to learn what you want in a future mate quality wise. If it doesn't work out as a romantic relationship, you'll already have built a stable friendship from talking and reconnecting that it wouldn't hurt that friend relationship. The last thing anyone wants to do is ruin a friendship by trying to go romantic, but good friendships will never be hurt by that.
Good luck, dear!
