Did she really mean maybe another time?

Both in high school. I asked this girl out to the movies on Wednesday, she said maybe-had to check schedule. I said to let me know, but I never heard from her the rest of the day. On Thursday I was drivin myself crazy so I texted her afterschool. I said hey, asked how she was-soon I said "I'm guessing you didn't want to go out on Friday is that right?" Took an hour for her to reply "i don't think I can sorry" I said "it's okay" she said "sorry" again and I said its alright. 45 minutes later she texts "maybe another time. and hey I will see you tomorrow and Saturday" she thought she would see me at the free sports physicals but I didn't go.we talked a little about that, she was still friendly, wasn't one word texts.

I thought there was a chance at more than friends, so I gave it a shot. What I don't get is when she said "maybe another time." I thought she was just going to leave it at "i don't think I can sorry". she was probably trying to say no in a kind way, but 45 min to add in more?

On Tuesday the day before I asked her out, I asked her to go to a frozen yogurt place afterschool. It was just me and her. 2 months ago I asked if she would go to the school play with me-same scenario: she had to make sure she didn't have plans, I asked for her to let me know. She said she could go, an we went on a Saturday night. (I didn't make a move that night.) before prom she asked if I was going I dance with her, and at prom she pulled me over and slow danced with me. I didn't talk to her on Friday, or this weekend. We have a class together. I need to give her space, but school is out in like 3 weeks. the last week is test week, and I probably won't see her. What was meant by everything? We've talked this entire school year, are we "just friends", or is there more than that?
