If a girl texts "hey bud" am I in the friendzone?

Anonymous
I have recently told this girl i like her. she's willing to hang out and such but she's told me she isn't interested in dating yet cause she's 16 and she said she doesn't want me waiting cause she doesn't know when she's ready and doesn't want me to miss out on anyone else.

She sends the dreaded hey bud text.. Am i permanent friendzoned?
