If you both admitted you liked each other, then there is a possibility for a friendship when she returns. At your age, people change their minds often too. Dating is all about learning what you like and don't like in a female so that when you are ready for marriage or a long term relationship as an adult, you'll know when you have the right one.
There is no such thing as exclusive until both of you have spent some time dating and both decide together to do so. This should not mean that you or her cannot change your minds at a later date. You learn more in dating several people so if it feels at any point like the relationship is now boring...evaluate what was there before that isn't now or was it all in your head...that sort of stuff. The best thing to say in parting is that you will look forward to her return becasue you would like to date her. Would she like to do that. And thats it. No asking for going steady, exclusive...that puts too much pressure on people and they become scared to commit to a dating relationship because they feel they can't ever back out at a later date. What I think you want is ground rules you both agree on to not date two or three people at once, only one. Thats called serial monogamy. Dating one at a time, and when one ends, going on to the next one, but again just the one until you move on again. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

She is likely a very busy person and will either respond when she can or talk to you in person. A clear way to louse this up for yourself in ways you can't repair is to act miffed about no reply or be texting too much.
Right now you have NO relationship and not even a friendship but rather something casual that could become either or. She did say she liked you so the whole other thing is maybe she's waiting for you to take the next step.
Talk to her before she leaves and explain you don't know where you stand after you both declared an interest in one another and what she does or doesn't want to do when she returns. Don't get your head too wrapped up in her as you may wind up disappointed. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
