So I met this guy and even though we were never friends I really
liked him. Last year was our eigth grade trip to North Carolina, I ended
up sitting outside with his friends, I talked to him alone for a bit
also. He is very shy,and it's the same with me. Later his two best
friends found out I liked him, and told him. So over the summer I played
tennis with him and another person, because our coach is the same. Now
it's ninth grade and I still really like him, we also have three classes
together, but with assined seating. Whenever I pass him in the hallway,
everytime he will smile at me, and I would smile back. Being shy he
really only talks with his friends. Does he like me?"

You're going to have to ask him. With shy people it's really hard to tell, and going and asking his friend will not work. Trust me. Just talk to him alone again or walking down the hallways when no one else can hear you and ask him if he likes you because you've been getting the vibe that he does. See what he says and pay attention to his response and the way he acts when he says it. If he does like you say "Well were you planning on asking me out anytime soon?" And then try to make plans for the two of you to hang out.
