Low-key crush vibes, am I reading her wrong?

Girls and College: part 2

So this girl was in my class at community college last year. At that time I was on a bit of a dating hiatus for various reasons, so she found another boyfriend that year.

Now earlier this month she got all excited when I told her that I had applied to a collegethat is local to her (local meaning 30 miles away). Then she got worried when I told her I wouldn't get admitted due to how I ranked my applications (see sub-header for context).

This whole thing is giving off low-key crush vibes, especially since she gave me her number when I asked if I call her [on FB Messenger] back in September. I basically wanted to vent to her about a classmate getting into a relationship with my crush at the time. For more on that, see the questions linked below.
PS: Don't tell me to ask her, because I'm not going to. And also, don't rip me for the "local" thing
