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

My best friend of eleven months (18m) and I (16f) have feelings for each other and we're about to enter a relationship. He's a freshman in college and I'm a junior in a rigorous high school program. 

We met through church, although neither of us are religious. He has a bad reputation because of an incident that wasn't even his fault, but everyone thinks it is. My parents think he's trouble and they're afraid my reputation at church will be tainted from openly befriending him. I've had to lie to them twice to hang out with him, and that was when we were just friends. As of right now, we only spend time with each other once a month, besides church. 

My parents finally allowed me to hang out with him a few days ago, but they were clearly reluctant about it. They don't know that we have feelings for each other, and they're afraid that we do. I'm not allowed to date. 

Once we're in a relationship, we won't even be able to tell church friends because they have a habit of gossiping and eventually the news will reach my parents. How can we fix his image in my parents' eyes?

Furthermore, I'm afraid that right now isn't a good time for us to start a relationship. Our lives are very complicated and we both need to focus on school. We've agreed that we'll always put our education first, but I don't want a bad fight or a break up to screw up other aspects of our lives or our friendship. Is it worth it to start a relationship right now or should we just wait it out, even though we have mutual feelings?

I've never been in a relationship - this will be my first.
<bot>: mutual feelings between me and my best friend, he's considered a "bad boy" in church, parents try to distance us.
