I'm 14/f...I like my best friend and unfortunatley its a girl (no offense to anyone). I want to tell her just so I can talk to her about it but she seems like she could care less. So what do I do? Do I just blab it out or not tell her at all? Thnx in advance.

First off I just want to tell you that you should never have to apologize for your beliefs or how you feel. If you are gay don't be ashamed of it and don't let others influence it.
Now on to your problem at hand. You didn't say to much about your friend so I'm just going to give you my advice for both senerio's(the first being you don't know if she's gay or not and the second being you know she is).
If you like her and want to know if she is interested or not first you just kind of need to ease into the subject. Bring up a movie you saw(Brokeback Mt. is a good example), see how she reacts to the movie. Usually movies like that spark discussion. K, now i'm gonna skip ahead a bit. So now you know that she is fine with people being gay, next you have to find out her personal stance, ya know if she ever looks at other girls as attractive or not. If you get that feeling in your gut that gives you the go ahead ask her if she would like to go on a date sometime(but I would wait a day or so for this, let it sink in and her think about the idea first).
Second senerio- you already know that she is. Skip the first couple steps and ask her on a date. But just a tip, avoid flat out saying that you have a crush on her before you've gone out a few times.
Best wishes and good luck!

First make sure you can absolutely trust her. Second, don't tell her you like her, tell her that you are a lesbian, and then tell her you like her, so that she can process the whole thing of you being a lesbian first. Unfortunately, some people don't like hearing there friends arent straight, so it really is up to you to tell her or not. Do you think she'd still be your friend after telling her? Hopefully she will be. Good Luck hun.
