15/f Ok, I'm one of those girls that has only guy friends and maybe one or two girl friends... well one of the guys that I'm closer too came up to me during summer and i'll just cut to the cheesy romantics and say "i recieved the butterfly in stomach effect" I knew he was a good looking guy but -cue the teen drama- now he just looks different in a VERY good way. How can I make things 'not awkward' when school starts and not make a complete moron out of myself?

Hon, you never get what you want without going after it or showing you are interested. Clearly, he's in to you or you would not have been approached. You cannot hide or deny what those butterflies mean for long.
Approach him about this and see what happens as the worst thing that could happen would be that he said no. What if he said yes? I know you really want this for yourself so I recommend doing something bold and showing the same interest back or outright asking him to be yours.
As long as you aren't being phony at school and stick to being who you are nothing will be awkward with him. If you saw him at school just act normally and treat him like always things will go fine.
There's no way you can make yourself look bad that way. Treat every day as normal and as if life goes on when he isn't there and block thoughts about him from your mind if you need to. Nobody said it would be an easy thing.
I think you need to stop denying your feelings and those butterflies you got when he approached you. It's telling you that you need to act and stop being so shy and ask him if he feels the same way.
