What do I do? I like someone a lot but it’s complicated.

Here it goes... I (M17) really like this girl (F18) from my high school. We both had marching band together this year. We grew close during the time we spent there. One day at school we were walking and our hands brushed and neither of us pulled back so we ended up holding pinkies down the hallway. We did that everyday for a couple of weeks but then it stopped. That was part of what pushed me to tell her that I like her (I didn’t want what we had to end). Marching band was about to end and we never hung out outside of band and school so I figured it was now or never and I told her. With her being one year ahead of me she told me that she didn’t want to peruse a relationship because she would be leaving for college. (Little backstory) about a year ago she dated someone that went away to college and dumped her. She told me that she didn’t want to “put me in an unfair situation” I don’t know what to do. All I know is that I really want to be with her. I want to go to the store with her if she needs new shoes. I want to be the shoulder to cry on if she’s sad. I want to watch movies and get food. I want to go on walks and watch the sunset. I want to be with her. I just really don’t know what to do.

Edit: I forgot to explain that she has lots of friends so if I do nothing she will forget about me. Although she said she still wants to be friends everything is weird between us and she doesn’t seem like she actually does.
