<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

So theres this girl (I am a guy, we're both 17) Ive only been talking to her for a few months but honestly we hit it off great I started to get good feelings in my stomach... We were always talking to each other and she def dropped quite a few signals.

Anyways one night she tells me I know you like someone, I also like a guy. On 3 we both say who we like. I said her name, she said my best friend's name.

Now I honestly don't think she kissed up to me to get closer to my friend, especially since hes already occupado. We just dismissed our feelings as high school crushes that should go away soon.

Well its been a few weeks we talk normally but the feelings are not going away... She asked me to go watch one of her dance recitals but she made it very clear were just friends. I'm considering asking her out to homecoming, but since I am the first generation in the USA nobody in my family really knows how it works. I'm not clear if hoco is where you need to be dating someone, or if it can just be a good friend. (on a side note, if anybody knows the difference in homecoming and prom in terms of the formalities and who you can ask out). I do not plan on missing my high school prom, thats a once in a lifetime thing that I wanna go to.

Is it appropriate to ask her out for homecoming?
<bot>: Crush found out I liked her and told me she liked my best friend, but we still talk normally, we still really good friends. Can I ask her out to homecoming?
