I am a 13 year old boy and is it normal that girls between 10-14 may be taller than me? IS 5'4 a normal height for me?

Yes- 5'4'' is normal. I think you'll be starting your growth spurt any day now, unless you already have.
I don't know about 10 yr old girls (she'd have to be a giant), but its normal for girls to be taller- they usually start growing/puberty younger, and therefore grow taller sooner. But as I said, in the next couple of months you should start surpassing them in height.
Just wait a bit.....you'll be tall someday. And most girls who are 5'4'' now won't grow much taller- maybe to 5'6'' (they've most likely started their periods, and only grow around 2'' after that)

Yes, it is very normal! Right now the girls your age are growing, and you are not yet. I just started college and when I was that age I was taller than all the boys at my school. I am now short to average and all of the boys are much taller than me. Boys don't grow until late high school or even college! Don't worry!

Ya its very normal. Girls mature faster than guys and its likely that you may be shorter than the girls in your class. Dawg in a few years you going to be taller than them so dont worry bout it.

yeah, some people just grow at different rates, especially if you are a boy. Girls grow before boys

You will grow. Girls start puberty earlier then guys. You still have time.
