Crush help

So I’m a freshman in high school and I started having feelings for this boy in my gym class (who we both already knew each other cuz we had a few classes last year but never talked) and I followed him on snap and we started a streaks. Note we’ve never talked.

So on thanksgiving I texted him “happy thanksgiving and he said “thanks ☺️” and my friend texted him the same thing but he texted “thanks 🙂” .

So the next day I wanted to text him but I was nervous so I made and excuse and said “heyy so I thought that I should talk to people more so how are you?” Then he opened it and didn’t say anything so I panicked and said my friend was on my phone the after I said “that was awkward...but anyway how was your thanskgiving” and he saw it and texted “do you think I’m cute??” And I panicked and said “no I like someone” (which I still have feelings for my old crush too) and he said “👍🏻” and I said why and he just opened it

Now my friends are saying they think he likes me but idk and I’m confused and Also I’m scared to text him again cuz idk if he’s gonna ask and idk if I should tell him my felelings...plz help!
