Ok, sorry for misunderstanding.

My friends don't know him, because they go to different schools, but he's at pretty close range anyway - we share a music stand at orchestra, and we share the same violin teacher so sometimes see each other at lessons. We used to be good friends when we were young, but drifted apart a bit after he found other friends about halfway through primary school. The crush is mainly skin-deep, but he has a good sense of humour as well, and we like some of the same music and films. And we both play the same instrument at about the same level, too.
