<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Ok, I'm going to try to keep this as brief as possible.

I met this girl a while ago (8-9 months) when I moved to a new town. I started texting her first, because, I was interested in her. We hit it off. Fast forward (8-9) months and we are good friends; arguably one of my best friends after the move. She has a lot of guy friends, including several she has grown up with. She has however seemed to flirt with me OCCASIONALLY by playing with my hands/phone; but then she will abruptly stop.

She tells me she isn't considering (or allowed to have) a relationship until she is at least 17; so I am left to wonder. 

Anyway, her and I scheduled a hangout day (today), with some other friends. However, at the last moment, all the other people couldn't come. She insisted on still hanging out with me. This was the first time we were alone together for a long period of time. 

Nothing happened. We just talked for 3 hours about movies, our likes and dislikes; etc. 

She smiles a lot, and laughs at a lot of things I say. But she is a bubbly person in general.

She texts me regularly, but not everyday. If I don't initiate a text conversation within a day or two she will start one. 

She stands by me and talks to me even if her good friends present. 

Also, if we are in a circle of people, and I begin talking, she immediately pays attention to what I'm saying; despite other conversations happening.

I am terrible at reading girls, so please, is she interested, or just being a friend?
<bot>: Girl comes and hangs out with me, texts me, talks to me. Is she interested, or being a friend?
