<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Over this summer I have been working at a pool with a bunch of people around my age, and one of these people for some unexplainable reason caught my eye. We have known each other for about two months now.

Coworkers that know I like her say that I should go for it (even her best friend since kindergarten says so) and that we already go well together, but from my perspective there's no reason for her to even like me back. Also she leaves for college in a few weeks so that's also making me hesitate.

Basically to give my view of us two, I am some under achieving slacker that just skates and and plays video games all day. I have never played a sport in high school (though that is changing this year) and gets below average grades. She on the other hand graduated top 25 of her class, played three sports, and is generally a more achieved person.

There was one occasion that really made me fall for her. Once when we were working at one of the school pools we were sitting in chairs next to each other and she laid her legs over mine. After a while she got up and I put my feet on her chair as a foot rest but, when she came back instead of moving my feet she just sat right on them, then proceeded to lay her legs back on me. (This probably sound like nothing, but for me this is massive)

Both of my parents say I shouldn't try to go out with her because they down want me to get heart broken but all my friends say that I should at least try. They say rejection is better than not knowing but having her say no is really scary to me. 

So Reddit, do you think it's worth it?
<bot>: Basically I'm a slacker trying to go for someone far out of my league and I want to know if it's even worth it to try.
