Me and my best friend have a crush on the same guy

This sounds ridiculous but it's the truth and it's making me rather depressed and un-happy.
Basically my best friend doesn't know that I have a [very big] crush on this guy.
I keep myself to myself really and I am very shy so I wouldn't really go up and say anything - wether it be flirtatious or just general conversation. And I never even get a chance alone with him, I am always with my friends, and he is always with his.
On the other hand, my very best friend has not personally told me that she has a crush on him - but I can just tell. She is completely different around him - we have all have 2 classes together.
She is so flirtatious around him and always stares at him. I think she thinks that I don't know but I'm not stupid, I mean, it's so obvious!
What should I do?
Thanks for your advice! x 

This is a cause of many a rift in friendships - both being hot for the same target. Your problem however is not having a rival in your friend  - the problem is your own shyness! Here's the thing - Sir Galahad aint gonna come up on a white charger, instantly recognize you good qualities and sweep you up in his arms. You'll be waiting forever!
