Do you think there's a such thing as leagues?

So I've been crushing on this guy, but he's popular. I'm not unpopular or anything, but I'm more very independent. I don't like to follow the crowd. So because of that most popular kids don't like me. I've always kind of seen my school as having different groups and the "popular kids" have never liked me. I think this guy does like me, or did in the past idk. I'm attractive, not to toot my own horn, but I'm wondering if he's too out of my league purely based on social standing. I really like who he is. He's got a firey attitude and makes me think which I think is kind of cool. But is it worth it to risk heartbreak and embarrassment?
