can someone please help me?

This is what you should know- before we started talking, I told my friend that I was interested in him.. so she went and told him (wtf?) and so I was kinda upset about that but got over it. And then he messaged me. He said hey and I said hi and then asked him if Jemma told him to message me. He said yeah so I was like ok bye 👋 and then he said "why don't you want me to?" And I said "I did but I didn't want anyone to have to tell you to." And he said that he would have anyway. So okay, I was happy and then we were texting all day. 

Then at lunch my friend kept calling him over (because she's a bitch!) and so he finally came over and sat with me. I wanted to take it at my own pace but noooo. So it was very awkward for both of us. Then today he gave me his hoodie and I don't really know if I want to talk to him anymore. 

It's not him, it's me. I just feel really uncomfortable and he doesn't really talk to me at all. He hugs me and then walks away. And we just don't connect like I thought I would. 

Can someone please help me? I don't know how to tell him this. Everyone I ask just says "tell him the truth." And I am going to tell him the truth. Word for word. But I just need someone to comfort me and tell me it's okay. I feel bad and I feel like I always disappoint people. I've never had a boyfriend (I'm in 10th grade) and I'm not trying to be conceited or anything but I am a pretty girl. There has been so many people that have wanted to date me but it's just that I know what I'm looking for and can't seem to find it. I know my worth. But I feel so shitty. My friends call me lesbian and when I put his hoodie on they were like "wow finally." And idk. I just feel like crap. Can someone please just talk to me about this? I'm really having trouble finding my place here and finding what I'm looking for. Will he understand when I tell him? I'm friends with all his friends, will they hate me?
