Hard decision advice

Aniyah

So I moved schools this year and went to a school my bestfriend goes to that I’ve been wanting to go to and so my mom finally let me go so it this one boy that knew I was coming well the whole school knew I was coming cause of my bestfriend but anyways so he would text me and ask me what house I had before I went to the school a house is basically classrooms at the school hat look like mini houses so I finally get to the school and this boy keep staring at me like I didn’t notice or anything so like I noticed and text him on snap the day after it was happening and told him like why do you keep deep staring me and then he was like I wasn’t looking at you or whatever so I tried to cover up and say it was a prank so I wouldn’t look dumb or anything so then we stared getting really close like giving hug and handshakes and so we made a promise that he can’t flirt with girls and I can’t flirt with guys but keep in mind we’re just “friends”but everyone thinks we are more so like we talk every single day an his friends keep telling me he likes me and talks about me but I’ve been having to make this hard decision so he went to the mall and movies with his friends one day and this one girl was there that ion really like and he apparently said he kinda likes her and I’m basically thinking for everything is going to waste like what the point so this is the question should I keep my distances from him till the feelings are gone or should I like let em stay cause I think he likes me what should I do I’m stuck😭
