possibly in love?

okay this is probably the most random thing ever but oh well.

i've liked this guy at my school for possibly around 10 months.

hes on my bus, and the start of the school year this year (im from aus so school just returned) the bus got really full. we both don't have any other friends other than our annoying ass siblings, so we sit next to each other.

its been a week and i've already gotten to know him really well. i've noticed that he isn't someone to like girls for their bodys or how they look, and im pretty ugly so :/

we walk to class together, talk to each other at the lockers, but we never text.

im a total sucker for love so anything that he says/does is literally a sign. but honestly he does so much that could mean that he likes me. making eye contact, is already looking at me when i look at him, those random smiles we send each other when the teachers pissing us off, they way he looks up to me and mouths 'you look pretty today' at the bus stop. literally anything could mean he likes me.

okay, he makes me smile more than most of my friends do, he makes me laugh & im insecure about my laugh so that says a lot. hes so caring, smart, sporty, funny and just overall perfect. a plus is that hes gorgeous, and super fit. hes also not afraid to cry, share his emotions and such.

the only thing is, hes so called 'popular' and all my friends say i have no chance with him. if you asked me 5 months ago if i thought i had a chance with him, i would have laughed and said no. now, im quite positive that he likes me back.

i just want to be in a relationship with him more than anything, i want to know what its like to hug him when hes down, cuddle with him while binge watching movies, late night talks and meet ups, to facetime him randomly, to be the reason hes smiling, and to kiss him, no matter what mood hes in.

but, i dont know if im in love. my best friends say i am, but i need an outside opinion.
