This xc season I ran a 5 mile tempo at 5:48 pace, a 4x1200 at 3:50(roads with tight turns with 2 minutes standing rest and 1 minute jogging), and 8x800 at 2:35 with 2:30 rest standing. I ran all these workouts in a similar timeframe before a fluke injury. I run usually 3 workouts or 2 workouts and a race per week and run about 40 miles per week. I’m a 15 y/o sophomore. How fast could I run a 2 mile in the shape I was in?
15 minutes
10:4x
I ran 10:10 in a 3200m time trial (sub 10 in a real race?), there's no way I could do 5mi @ 5:48 and call it a tempo effort. I'm gonna say you're good for low 10s at least, if not sub-10, for full 2 mile.

What kind of leg speed do you have? When I was a 10:18 sophomore the tempo would have been easy and the 1200s doable, but your 800 repeats would have been tough with my 60 speed.

probably high 10:1x or low 19:2x
idk just run it
I have decent leg speed during xc but when track starts and we’re doing sub 500m intervals it gets pretty far above average compared to the guys on my team

Your better leg speed and the better strength I had would probably wash and put you around the 10:18 I ran.
10:25
Just run it, nobody can actually tell you unless u run it. Just run the TT and then you'll know
OP, you're probably better at something longer. Do a 10k.
