<human>: So I've known Kate since the beginning of last semester. We're both freshmen in college and we're in an on-campus organization together. 

Kate's not a "10," but she's incredibly attractive to me. I've always thought that and I've had the occasional fantasy about the two of us. I never wanted to pursue it though, as we see each other all the time and I felt like it would mess up the group dynamic. We're very close friends and hang out a lot.

About a month ago, Kate and I hung out one-on-one and had a very long, deep conversation. We covered everything from past relationships to belief systems, and really just bonded quite a lot. When I left her place I realized I had a crush on her. It isn't an intense, I'm in love with you kind of crush, but I certainly have feelings for her.

Now I haven't had a crush on a friend since I was in middle school--I usually try very hard to keep friendships and dating separate. But now it's a bit harder to keep those feelings to myself. We're only a week away from the semester ending and subsequently my going home, but I feel like I still want to pursue something with her. My worries are that

a.) If I tell her how I feel, and she doesn't reciprocate, our close friendship and our group dynamic will be messed up.

b.) If I don't say anything, I'll regret it and miss her over the summer.

Ultimately I could just let it go and let the feelings dissolve over time but it's not something I want to give up on. Is it worth it to try and start something now, as close as I am to leaving town, or should I keep it to myself and wait to see if I continue to have these feelings? Also we will see each other some over the summer because of road trips. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I have feelings for one of my best friends, but with the semester coming to a close and the risk of ruining our friendship/group dynamic I'm not sure if it's worth it to say anything.
