<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

So, this girl (lets call her Ashley) in my biology class thinks me and this other girl (lets call her Brittany) from my bio class would be good together. I don't like Brittany that way as we have been freinds for a while and she isn't my type. Anyways, Ashley pulls a chair from next to me and says something along the lines of "don't worry, you don't have to keep this for Brittany, she isn't here." I'm like, don't worry, I don't like her anyways, I like someone else. The girl working at the table goes, "who? Is it the girl from our History class last year still?" She was right and at this point, I'm just like WTF how. So I ask her and she's like everyone knows already. Me, thinking our mutual friend, who is one of the two people I personally told let her know. Nope. Apparently after school sometime 2nd semester last year, they were talking and she said something like, "I'm pretty sure Anthony likes me." So, looks like the secret is out. Should I tell her how I feel? Ask to go out for coffee? or just accept that she doesn't like me?

Reasons to ask her out:
- I have practically nothing to lose
- I gave her a dollar for her charity without taking the chocolate she was selling and our mutual freind told me she texted her best friend stating "OMG Anthony is so nice he gave me a dollar for our charity :):)"
- We have a lot in common (we watch some of the same shows, like the same music etc...)

Reasons to not ask her out:
- A crippling fear of rejection
-Iv'e made the horrible mistake of constantly avoiding her in order to not humiliate myself in front of her
-We graduate in just over a semester and we may never see each other again (this can count as a reason to ask her out, but long distance relationships rarely work out.
-I can't bring myself to talk to her as of late for the same reason listed above.
<bot>: She knows, I have nothing to lose, I am too scared to tell her myself. I don't know what to do.
