Short story!Does he like me or is just being friendly.?

Ok me and this guy we have been hanging out for a while now after school with friends Then he started coming to my lunch table to talk to me and everytime he sees me he gives me a hug. And he calls me his eskimo and I call him penguin. And he is always sitting or standing beside me in groups. And he picked me up to see what was in the lunch line and everybody was like aww. It was funny but everytime when we sit together at lunch we don't really have a lot to talk about I don't know if its shyness. Also people say that he likes me!
