>>2 I've been in the EXACT same situation as well. Except, she transferred to that damn charter school... (No, seriously. It's practically the same thing if you think about, but you have a shot, I don't anymore.)
But anyhow, I say just try and befriend her. Like, don't confess your feelings. Keep them in check until she's ready. So in the meantime you'll be able to get to know her better, like her intrests and such. Determine if she really is the one for you.
I sincerely apologize if this isn't helpful, but it's what I planned when my love was still attending my school.
Oh, and before I forget, just find another motivation to continue if it doesn't work out. Like, I've gotten the motivation that if I graduate from from college, get rich and famous, I'll be able to find her somewhere out there. And another one I've got is that she'll return to my school next school year. You could try and strive to look good and impress her.
