Ok, so this is a pretty confusing story, so im going to try to keep it short.
I've been friends with this girl Rachel since third grade. Not best friends, but we talk. I also have another friend, Lucas, and I've been friends with him since 5th grade. I've liked him since 5th grade, but in 9th grade, he started dating Rachel. I'm in 11th grade, and they're still dating. Last weekend, Lucas told me he has feelings for me, but I couldn't tell Rachel because he still loves her. Now Lucas is all I can think about. I recently went through a horrible breakup and he was there for me, which just makes me like him even more. He knows I like him, and I know he likes me, so its kind of hard to ignore the situation. I really want to stay friends with both of them, but this is super stressful on me. What do I do???

As long as they are going out, you should not have any romantic relations with Lucas. I know it is hard to suppress your feelings, but in this situation you have to. What if it was the other way around. If you were dating Lucas and Rachel and him began having a relationship behind your back, how would you feel? My guess is not too hot.

if he hasn't told Rachel that he likes you and hasn't broken up with her to go with you i would talk to him about that as well because you two like each other but he isn't going to break up because you guys are all friends.
