Crush on long time friend

[u/Forward_Focus_4509]

I (14m) have been friends with this girl (15f) for basically my entire life she's a year older and recently we went on a cruise with a bunch of other friends and parents etc, after not seeing each other for months. (She lives 2 hours away so all this might because of our distance) So during the cruise I got kinda a crush on her and by the end of the cruise I kinda think she knew. I also thought she liked me too. She started to get closer to me and in some situations it was definitely noticeable like in an elevator even if there was plenty of room she'd be basically right there I mean you could definitely tell sometimes that she wanted to be near me. Also on the last day we were recreating old photos and in one of the old photos she was next to me, so they put her next to me which makes since obviously so no biggie but when she sat next to me, she went sooo close to me we were fully overlapping knees while the other friends weren't at all, it wasn't too crazy but definitely noticeable and she hugged me pretty tight. (again, the hug was part of the old photo) Also one of the days at dinner it was a more formal night, when we were done and leaving I swear to god she said damn out of the corner of my ear. Anyways the day we're back in port and going home I decided to text her and make sure she got home safely, later that day we talked for at least 3 hours. And ever since we have been texting each day. I did confess to her about a week ago and thank God she said she quote "I kinda like you too" she also said she had suspicions of it when I texted her after the cruise.

But yeah I need thoughts on this.

UPDATE: Not really an update but just more info I forgot to add. I am very introverted as well is she so we are pretty similar, the rest of our friend group is not introverted at all. 😂 There are other boys in our friend group but I'm assuming she likes me because of the distance and the other boys are kinda like brothers to her. Also, one day on the cruise we were at a port with escalators and I HATE or am just scared of going down them, so I freaked out! Her dad ended up helping me but I could hear her saying switch places with me, to her dad. Which would mean she would be right next to me. Her dad didn't switch but that's insane lol. I guess she just wanted to comfort me but idk
