Girls are often wary and cautious around boys, though if they see a chance that they may find a relationship with someone, they'll try and take it. Not all girls are like that, but most are. Popular girls will often ignore boys they dislike or is neutral with, while girls that are more casual will express their feelings a bit more to all.
I suggest talking to her at lunch time, just about casual things like school events, schedules, or friends. Notice if she's a bit shy and nervous. A big hint if a girl likes you or not is their friends. Girls almost always hang out in groups. If she has a crush on you, then her friends are sure to tease her about it when you walk by or talk to you.
I know this I really late, but if you still need advice from what you have said...
Talk to her, what I've read, you two are really close, so just tell her the way you feel. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, you two will still be best friends. You have nothing to lose.
I know you don't want to hear this but just continue to see her at church and try and be friends with her, don't try anything else... If she really does like you eventually she will tell you, but you are in fact 10 so don't worry about girls liking you right now, high school is a little bit away from you and most likely you'll have a few girls that will like you. Just be yourself don't pursue anything
we both go to church. and that's like the only time that we see each other. and she is mostly around me. and we are both 10 and we are really good friends. we met when we were like 5 or 6. she always talks to me and she is always on my team when we play games
