Does this guy like me, or are we just friends?

Alright so, I'll give the story. I'll only use the first letter of the names of people because well, I can♥ I wouldn't say it necessarily started in a grade, but we had a few same classes together (English and Math are all I can remember with him) and we didn't talk much. He was quiet sat in the corners, I think I did too. To be honest I don't remember much of him from that grade. Actually, I didn't even know we had some classes together until he brought it up two or so months ago.

Next schoolyear. One grade higher. This was last schoolyear. I remember having Latin class with him, where I was seated directly behind him. It was funny, in that corner where we all sat, me, J, D, P, and J2 (sorry, J2). We were the geeks/nerds/whatever you want to call us. We all had great fun. J is the one I "like", but I didn't back then. Sitting behind him in that class, we'd all naturally talk a lot. Who knows, video games and shit. But yes, we were friends then. I was busy with a job over the summer so I never had the chance to hang out with him - I wasn't SO close enough, I never got his Facebook (didn't have one then) or phone number (never found my place to ask).

This year. Shit happens, we have 3 classes in a row. That's fantastic, right? We talk a lot, and for the past few weeks I've been sitting with him and our other friends for some times. We talk a lot. In all honesty, the majority of our conversations consist of: memes, MLP (yes, he is a brony - I just enjoy the series), computer games, videogames, internet stuff, and what else...just natural conversations. About our friends, school, life, and whatever. We added each other on Facebook and he prank called my cell once (yes, I got the number and I forget how it came up, but I think he asked me).

I'm not going to lie, I have no sex drive whatsoever. I'm not attracted to anyone at all, but I do like this guy. We have pretty much the same friends (geeks n shit) and the 3 classes in a row (sorry. New semester, one class got cut so we only share two classes. But still have lunch~). One day a conversation came up about our sexualities - he told me who he used to like (A friend of ours named M, who is in a straight relationship with a girl named S, who I am also friends with), so he said he's over that guy because he's off-limits. He said he was bisexual. I said I was asexual because well, I have no drive at all, but I still like people.

sffd I have no idea what the f*ck I'm talking about. I do like this guy but I just can't tell if he likes me. He's pretty shy and well, for some reason he always says things like, "You would hit me off the head with that bat, wouldn't you?" in a jokingly way.
Obviously I responded, "What? No, never! I'd never hurt a friend."

And I don't know why but he just has this idea that I don't consider him a friend - I consider him a best friend actually, and twice have I hugged him (yes, only twice) to try and reassure him that I'm not some crazy axe murderer. We make each other laugh all the time, to the point where we both end up crying. we have much of the same interests but I'm not sure if he considers me a friend only.

I've been thinking of asking if I can be included when all the guys go out (all of our friends) when they go to the mall or something, though I don't want to be rude - I know, I know, genders need their space.

dafdsf Am I ever going to shut up?

Sometimes we even go out of each other's ways to talk to each other. Oh, he forgot his gym clothes - even though I brought mine, I'll take an F just so we can sit and talk. Oh, I forgot mine, he sits there and talks with me.

gfds I honestly can't tell. This doesn't worry me at all, I'm just curious! Should I ask some of our friends? A and M should be able to help out but.....blargh.
