I think it's possible to be best friends with an ex, but not if you still hold romantic feelings for him - and especially not if you're still hoping for a future exclusive relationship with him.
It looks like he's your friend now, but you have to put in all the work and it doesn't appear you get much in return.  I think it will be much harder for you to be his friend. If he goes to the prom with this other girl and has a wonderful time, could you honestly be a friend and be happy for him? If he falls in love with another girl, would you give your blessing and be a "best friend" to them both? 
At one time I loved my ex-husband with all my heart. I wasn't able to call him a friend until I got over the love I felt for him. He's married to a good woman now, and I am happy for him. I'm married to a good man now, and my ex-husband is happy for me.
I wish you good luck with your future friendships and relationships.
