Hm, I am not sure if it is a crush as there seems to be too much focus or overly identifying yourself with Anna. It seems to me more like some sort of projection where you are overly identifying with this person. Your past and Anna's present are uncannily similar (being bullied, ostracized, being the outcast, nobody standing up for either of you etc.)
It is like you are trying to rescue Anna as you wished to have been rescued yourself once. You were not rescued, so you are trying to be Anna's 'hero' in a subconscious way to 'fix' the wound in you that remains unhealed (as exemplified by your fear of not being deserving of love and so on).
PS: Being another person's hero will never heal one's own wound

she was going to be my personal project

is what struck me. You ought to be your own personal project & focusing (obsessing?) in being another person's saviour suggests there is more going on under the surface that is about *you* than about her (or any feelings you think you may have towards her).
I would explore this more in therapy.
