FRIEND CRUSH

OK so there's this girl, let's call here Bridget. We've been on the same school for 3 years. We were especially close in year one. In year 2,lots of stuff happened and we weren't really bonded. Now, this is year 3, and we are starting to get a bit closer again. Our school starts at 8.30, but we usually arrive at 8.00 , we sit in this specific just outside the school terrain to catch up, where she mostly yaps and i listen. I love listening to people. She is just the most pretty,funny and kind girl i know. I wouldn't say i have a crush on her, but i certainly wouldn't mind dating her. She has these few friends she's really close with,she talks about them frequently,which,i don't mind, But i also want to be one of her best friends you know?? I dont want to be just another person she ''doesn't mind hanging out with'' ,because ,she said, about the people of our friendgroup (read previous blog for more context) she doesn't mind hanging out with,but she wouldn't take the initiative. I'm really scared if i'd be one of them. I'm trying my best to get closer to her so i would also be considered as her best friend. I'm not trying to ruin the other friendships or be her number one,of course not, but i would just like for us to text constantly,hang out frequently all that jazz. Someone got any tips? any would be useful! tsym! <3
