So, I've been sorta "seeing" my BEST FRIEND. (he's a guy) lol. and it's really not working out to well. I haven't talked to him in like 5 days, and I used to see him everyday. But the trouble is now, I really like this kid I've known for like 5 years, and we started to talk on Thursday. He leaves for college very soon, and I want to start something with him. I don't wanna hurt my best friends feelings by telling him there might be someone else....I have no clue what to do?!? help.
((I'm a female and I'm 16 yrs old.))

I would tell your best friend the truth and hope that you two can remain friends and try with this other boy because you dont wanna regret not doing something that could've made you happier.

If the situation was reversed, wouldn't you rather he was honest rather than kept things going while you remained obvlivious? The right thing to you is to gently break up with the guy you are seeing. It's probably not necessary to mention this other guy you are interested in - it would only sour his memories of you together with. I'd advise taking things slowly with this new guy though, both out of respect for your ex-boyfriend and yourself, as the last thing you need is an intense relationship with somebody who's about to move away to start college.
