Does my shy crush like me back?

I’ll try to keep this simple because I could end up typing to much without a point. Thanks for reading and I hope someone replies :D

Well I’m 17 and in grade 12. So I like a guy in my one of my classes, he sits next to me(because of a setting plan orgianlly the teacher said we could move but he hasn’t yet…though we sit in a odd area where the projector can be in the way), he is also in the same study group as me.

Well until the middle of October despite sitting next to me he never talked to me except when we had to share colouring stuff(grade 12’s colouring? it’s odd…and not art class) he asked me if I was done with the black marker. or that time we did some random in class 3 person group at the very beginning of the year but I was more or less talking to the other guy in the group more than him…which I now regret.

So in the middle of October the teacher assigned a group assigment. There was 3 people who didn't get into groups because teenagers are so selective with their groups and never pick the nerdy students. so there was Me, the guy in question and another guy that is not important to the question. so we were "forced" into a group. at this point I thought he was cute but not much more. Anyway on the frist work period the other guy in the group was sick or whatever. so it was me and my crush(I feel so immature saying crush) were by ourselves. so for about 20 minutes we were barely talking, other then "did you find any information" "yah kind of" then dead silence. he also did some wierd tapping thing on his desk(which was kind of annoying). after a little while he asked me when yearbooks came out, I said that they came out on friday. this is were I got weird I would have normally said nothing else but I felt that I had too. so I continued to say that I really wanted a yearbook because I was annoyed looking at grade 10 photos because everyone looks so different and I said I had longer hair and bangs. He quietly laughed and said that it was true evryone looks different from 2 years ago. that lighted the awkardness between us a bit. the next workperiod the other member was back but I mainly talked my crush because I felt more comfortable talking to him, and I sensed he did too(I forgot to metion we are both shy).

but still he didn’t comunicate when we weren’t talking unless the project was involved somehow. for another part of the project we had to evluate the other groups projects and stuff like that, we started joking around a bit more. and at that time I had realized that I had a crush on him. around the same time the class set up groups for an remianing of the semester group thing were we have a in class project thing(not for marks though just for fun) once at least week it is 3 girls and one guy, and my crush will ask me things or talk to me before the other two girls. and well that stuff went and is going good. and my crush started asking me questions outside of groups

A more important thing I have to is a few weeks ago we had an in class 2 person group worksheet thing and the teacher told him to pick a partner and hesitated to be in a group to be his partner mostly probably I was kind of in a depressed mood a bit for some random reason. the next time(it was like 3 days later) we had a similar activity to do. and the teacher asked him to pick a partner and explained something to him he said “ did you hear that”( stands for my first name) and being surpirsed he said I shook my head no.

so here is a basic summary:

1. he at one time didn’t talk to me and now he does
2. he talks to me more than anyone else in the class
3. I have seen him blush around me and stare at me a bit more
4. I’m basically his partner for random in class things that invovle two people.
5. I’m crazy about him and can’t stop thinking of him(this is by far the bigest crush I’ve had)
6. I end up typing questions on websites involving him instead of working on a essay for school.
7. I haven’t told anyone that I like him :( lets just say I’m to shy for my own good
8. I HAVE NO CLUE IF HE LIKE ME BACK!!___I think he might but he could be being nice.

please help me and thank you for reading my long question(I actually shorted it)
