i've been going to my new school for about a week now. and i'm quite literally, the only girl in my class.
i want a perspecitve, on a boy thing. i'm thirteen, and i'm a girl, but i'd bet that's no surprise.
basically, on my first day of school, this boy was very helpful to me and since, then he's been talking to me and playing around with me in gym. more specifically:
apparently this boy used to fall asleep for a while every morning, and since i've been there, he hasn't.
he's asked me constantly how i think my new school is, and told me pretty in depth what he wants to be when he grows up. like a heart to heart thing.
Multiple classmates (and even a teacher) give him crap about how he's pretended he's had balls, in their words, since i've come to school.
By the way he reacts to everything the class says, he either hates that everyone think he likes me, or he really really does like me. I think he's really sweet, i just can't tell what he wants, or why he seems to like me so much. Or if he even likes me at all.

His personality has totally changed since you showed up, he's spending time with you whenever he can, and he's getting emotional when people talk about it. Clearly, he's smitten. And his classmates are going to give him grief about it because that's what 13-year-olds do - there may be a little jealousy going on there as well, since he's made a connection with you and everyone else hasn't. As for the teacher, I don't know exactly what he said, but it seems to me that the guy was out of line if he was joining in on the teasing; that's not how teachers should behave, in my opinion.
However, since you ARE the only girl in the class, there is the possibility that it's not YOU he's intrigued by, but just the fact that you are the only available female. If this is true, then there's no reason not to like the guy - he is, after all, being very nice to you and that's worth something. It IS a reason to hesitate before forming a relationship beyond friends (the fact that you're both thirteen is another reason to wait!).
At the moment, he's offering friendship and kindness. Accept it gracefully, and if you appreciate it tell him so. As Humphrey Bogart so eloquently put it, "This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship." [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
