Is it normal for feelings to go away this quick?

Alright, this may be a bit long... And it's more of an advice thing than an is it normal thing. So yep.
I'm a junior in high school, just got out of a year-long relationship about a month ago.
After that, I became much happier, more relieved, you know. But what do you know, one of my friends likes me.
Really likes me.
He said he liked me for over a year while I was dating the other boy and he asked me out...
The next night I accepted, thinking that it would work out but it didn't.
He said that he loved me four days after we got together, twice. He kissed me, but I didn't feel anything.
To be honest, I have a cynical view of love, especially in high school.
I'd prefer to be free, but is it normal for feelings to go away this quick? It's only been five days.

    You said it, it is high school. So yeah, it's normal. And like bigeyedfish said, you're young and feelings change.

    A lot of times the only love you'll get in high school is, "puppy love". And for him it was probably just puppy love too. Four days after you guys got together, he already said, "I love you". Yeah..., it's puppy love. Enjoy the rest of your time in high school not being too serious, because you'll have plenty of time to get really serious after High School.
