I'm a senior girl in high school who likes a junior boy, advice (high school)?

Anonymous
Okay, so here it goes. I will be graduated in about 2 months, and in about 5 months I'll be in college. There is this guy who is a year younger (junior) that I developed a crush on because I feel like we are so alike. He is good friends with my best friend, and that's how I met him. I have no idea if he likes me more than a friend or not, but I do know he likes me as a friend at least. We joke around and talk a lot, but it is not like I'm the only person he does that with (he's not a player but he is a very joking person soo that's a thing). I geinunely like being his friend at least because he is a cool person and can make me laugh (and not just because I like him... He's funny) but I don't know if I should say anything about how I feel? I've asked a guy out before, and I lost his friendship and I embarssed myself when he said no. I don't want to lose this friendship because I like him as a person and not just because dopamine. I wanted to be his friend even before I developed feelings. I'll be going to college soon too... What do you think I should do? Sorry to do the common question, but I was curious what you guys thought. I would rather know he isn't into me if he isn't, but at the same time I would be scared he would not want to be my friend anymore and it would be awkward...
