Matt's advice column

Alright, I have one of those movie friendships. Everyone thinks my friend and I are going to fall in love, get together, get married one day and live happily ever after. I am a 16 year old girl as is he 16. We have been best friends for.. well, forever, since the first day of third grade. We had this little clique, me, him, and two boys that both had turned out to um, like boys. They had since moved away and it's just me and him left from that third grade class. We have our own friends but we are both close as well. Everyone thinks since we are so close, we're hiding a relationship, that we really like each other.

I just want to tell you a few things about our relationship and you can tell me if you believe everyone else or you think me and him are right in this.
My friend is really shy, he's an amazing guy and he would take a bullet for me but he doesn't talk a lot. Leading to low self esteem and hardly any confidence, I really have to watch what I say around him or I know he'll get kinda down about it but when he does I do whatever I can to make him happy, I give him little confidence boosts, I guess you could call them. On the off chance that I am having a bad day, he knows it and he asks, he won't make me tell him what's wrong, he won't push the subject (even though I always tell him anyway), I then apologize for dumping all of my problems on him and making him feel obligated to help me out and he always comes back with a remark similar to "you don't have to apologize, I want to know what's bothering you, I care." We talk all the time, we talk in school, at band practice, at fundraisers and when we aren't together, we text. We talk about a lot of random things and that's what I like about him, he can just be laid back, we don't have to talk about anything serious. We are both in the marching band at our school and everyday after practice, I give him crackers, the same kind everyday because he loves them. Every one said I'm like his mom. The first time I got silly bandz when the whole thing started at my school, I was talking to him about them and he said he doesn't like anything on his wrists, he likes nice and bare but when I put them on his desk and showed them to him, he picked one up and wore it until it broke a lot of months later. I have trouble in a class that he excels in so I text him and ask him if he can help me with the homework or the notes and he would ask me what exactly I needed and he would help me so much. His mom is quite fond of me, ever since we talked for a while at a band function. The last time I saw her, it was raining quite heavy and she told me to not get sick and stay bundled up. Lastly, my friend has such a passion for music, he writes songs and plays guitar. He plays his guitar for me when I'm sad but he doesn't sing for me. Ever. He said he can sing in front of his other friends and he sings at parties but he won't sing for me.

So, what do you think? Do you believe everyone else? I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks!

Matt: "Who do you believe? Who fucking cares."

Lady friend: "Why are you answering this? They probably will end up together."

Seriously though, silly bandz? My six year old campers love those. That's 16, without the 1.
