Ok me and my friends were talking about this cute guy when all of sudden a couple of boys come up to me and they say the boy over there thinks I'm cute and he likes me. So I walk over I didn't say anything because I was scared he didn't say anything either but he said I don't like her and he tried to run away but his friends wouldn't let him they keep saying that he liked me one of them said he had a girlfriend but I don't know. Do you think he likes me or nah? Or do you think they were messing with me?

But I will say this, even if he is shy, but likes you, he will stare at you a lot or you catch him looking at you but looking away when you look at him, only to look at you again once you turn away. A guy who likes a girl will try to find excuses to be near her like an exc. If not shy, then a guy will ways to talk to you. If not brave enough to come right to the point and ask you out, he might get in the lunch line and say something about a class or teacher or upcoming school event...you know...something casual and innocent that is not on the topic of liking you. What you need to know is that guys don't stare at girls or try to get near or talk to the ones they have no interest in. There is no point in doing it so they don't.
You need to learn to not trust what anyone tells you about someone else, not at this age and not when you're an adult. If you want to know if a guy likes you, you need to hear it from him. Sometimes guys like to mess with one of their buddies by totally makin something up to embarass him or girls do the same cus they're bored and they find playing matchmaker kinda fun. It's never fun for the friend put on the spot tho.
Were you already interested in him before hearing these guys saying stuff to you? If so, you might try talking to the guy when his friends are not around so they dont know and if you do get together, keep it a secret. When we are young, middle school, and H.S., we arent quite self confident yet and its painful to be put on the spot, teased, and horribly embarassing if you were to be one of the first in your circle of friends to have a crush on someone or be dating someone. You need to think of his feelings. Now if you had not noticed him much before and had no feelings toward him or perhaps didnt like him at all, it would seem pretty silly to walk up to the guy assuming what you heard was true. My own younger sister did that when I was close to 20. told me that a guy who was a friend of mine talked to her and said he was in love with me. I did not believe a guy in his mid twenties would be so weird as to say this to the sister but not to the gal he loved. When I talked to him the next day, I added in to the regular convo, "Oh by the way, my sister says you told her you are in love with me. I don't tend to believe what others say, not unless I hear it from the person in particular. He then told he, he liked me but wouldn't say he was at the point of being in love with me yet.
So I caution you to be careful about what you hear. And don't be so willing to date just any old guy who happens to say they like you. He could have an anger problem and be the kind to beat up on girlfriends. When you pick a guy to go after to date, do so only to get to know him better to see if he's really a good guy or not. And so, I cant tell you if he likes you or not. But by what you have said, there was no mention of the things I said indicate an interest in a girl so most likely, he is not into you. And yes, I believe his friends were messing with you, or bored and trying to tease him or play matchmaker, something lots of kids do at this age. I remember watching students at this age actually try to push their buddy into the person they thought she or he should pair up with. Thats rude and mean but kids at this age just dont seem to know better. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

Or he could've actually said something about liking you, but you know young boys these days, I was the same, if I like a girl my friends would go tell her and make fun of me, and I would deny it. If he had a girlfriend then he should be being faithful to her.
Don't let it dishearten you though, there's someone out there for everyone :)
