am i a bad person for this?

I have a HUGE crush on this boy in my chemistry class. Hes really handsome, sweet, funny, kinda tall, hes a popular kid in school, plays basketball, and has a ton of friends. I knew him since June cause I saw him in our senior orientation, and I also sit behind him. I developed a crush on him mid June when his friends sat beside him during a short break in chem and he was laughing and all, I thought his smile was really cute lmao. We also became partners in a project but I was so shy, I kept covering my face and stuttering cause I couldnt tell if my face was turning red 😭😭 Hes really great, but the thing is people dont really like him. Some of my friends used to be in the same class as him and had a bad experience with him. Apparently hes an asshole cause he laughs along with his friends whenever they make fun of someone or say offensive things. My friends also mentioned that he would make fun of me since I'm not those type of popular girls. He used to date this really popular girl whos pretty, smart, and is liked by alot of people in my grade, except there were rumors that she cheated on him 😬 (which turned out to be true). I honestly don't know if its okay to like this person cause people seem to label him as some sort of "bully", yet i dont really see a problem with him. Hes quite reserved, isnt loud and obnoxius, and hes also really sweet to me. He never made fun of anyone in my class and just minds his own business. I feel really guilty and beat considering my friends dont like him at all and he clearly has a type. I dont think he would like me at all considering im not popular, smart, or pretty. Infact I'm really quiet, I'm those what they call a "weird kid", and I'm kinda ugly so theres no chance for me 😭 Is it bad to have a crush on someone like him? Please lmk! (Side note: I might be overglazing him cause I dont know him well)
