Please help me, i cant take anymore?

OK. So i go to an all boys school. I'm 15. I'm not openly gay or out of the closet or anything. but there's this boy. His name's Richard. He's unbelievably attractive to me but probably just cute in other peoples' opinions. I'm not sure if he is gay or not but every time i'm around him i feel like he is the most important thing in my life. He's a real nice person and just being around him is like heaven. I know it's probably not love and i have no idea if he likes me. I have proof he does and doesn't. I just really need to know if i'm being stupid and gullible or if i'm in love or something. I just can't take seeing him everyday and wanting him so badly in every way!
