Since the age of consent varies from country to country, I'll assume that 17 is within the legal age range in your country. In my country, the age of consent is 18. Messing around with 15 year olds will get you a lifetime imprisonment while 16 to 17 girls will get you lower terms. Someone said here before (I think it's KimPa) that the age of consent in the UK is 16 so it's highly likely that other countries will have different laws when it comes to this issue.
With the disclaimer done, here's my advice.

im tending to think that she is seeing me as a friend and not as a BF ..
Assume it's a done deal. If she notices any hesitation on your part, then you get blown off. Don't hesitate. This is like the martial arts when you throw a counter punch or kick. If you think that the opponent's strike will hit you first before your counter strike lands, then you'll get hit first. On the other hand, when you visualize a successful defense, then that will always be the case.
Visualize everything in your mind that it's a done deal. That visualization will give you internal confidence that girls will notice unconsciously. Hesitate and you lose. Assume it's a done deal and you win.

maybe it's because the nickname she uses for me and the fact that she showed so entushaisem to hangout with me...
Pumpington always says this, and it's for a good reason: Always judge what a woman does and not what she says.
Your HB9 set the Saturday schedule herself for the hangout. That's a big compliance. If she doesn't want you she wouldn't set that day herself. If she doesn't flake on Saturday, then that's another big compliance.
Think of a ladder. The compliance ladder is a set of many actions that the girl complies with to give you what you want. Each compliance is a step upwards to your ultimate goal.
On the day of your hangout, start touching her hands at once. Never hesitate. Go for the kiss close in the middle (NOT at the end) of the hangout period. Assume it's a done deal and you'll be fine. Hesitate and you lose.
