Can someone tell me if this is love?

im 14 years old, female. I really like this guy in my class named kent. I've known him for 3 or 4 years. I didnt know him that well until this year. he's everything I want in a guy. he's tall, athletic, has a nice body, smells good, is a christian like me, and gets amazing grades. next year we will be in honors classes together too. ive liked him for a few months, but lately... he's all I think about. unfortunately, he hardly notices me. he only ever wants to compare test scores with me or get help on assignments at school. im pretty sure he likes this other girl Hanna, who only thinks of him as a friend. I just want to get someone elses opinion. am I in love with him?? I always dream about him. when something happens to me, I wonder what he would think. I always daydream about us dating, etc. he's all I think about lately. am I in love?? ps.. he had a huge fight with his bestfriend yesterday. his friend Nathan called Kent some names. Kent tried to pants Nathan but accidentally pulled nathans underwear half down. they both ran home off of school grounds and have 3 day in school suspensions. now everyones calling Kent a jerk.. and I have mixed feelings. I feel bad for both of them. but should I still like Kent? I'm confused, can someone tell me what I should do?? thanks :) and please, no one tell me I'm too young to he in love. I just want an opinion not based on our ages. and one last thing... how can I get him to notice me without being overly flirty? I don't want to come on too strong, because my dad is my teacher.. yeah, it seems weird, but my dad is my teacher, so it kind of limits what I can do and say :P so if someone can just tell me please.. am I in love with kent?
