I honestly would rather die than betray her.
I think that's overreacting a bit. You're not
betraying her by telling her how you feel. Sure, she may feel a little strange after you admit it to her, but I don't think it should come as a big shock. After all, if you both like the same books and you have long conversations about this one thing that you have in common, then the possibility that you like her ought to be pretty obvious to her. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she already knew (Because girls have this weird sixth sense where they can figure out stuff like this
) but she didn't want to tell you that she knew, in case she was wrong.
At any rate, go ahead and tell her. If she gets upset about it or things become awkward between you two because she doesn't feel comfortable about the fact that you like her, then hey, that's her problem. Remember that you'll come across a lot more girls that you will like just as much (Probably more, as you will have matured a lot by that time) when you're older, and honestly, those are the ones that matter.
If you really want to keep things going with this girl even after you've told her, just be sure to mention that you realize you're too young to be dating yet, and that you want to stay friends.
