Friends or does he like me??

OK, so I'm 14 and there's this guy that I've been friends with since I was young and lately I feel like he could like me but I'm not for sure. so something that he hasn't always done that I've noticed he's been doing lately is if he's telling a story and I'm not necessarily paying attention or I'm not hearing him and everyone else in our friend group is listening he'll get my attention before he starts his story and he used to not do that. another thing is lately he's been just talking to me more personally instead of the group setting. i'm really not looking for a relationship so everyone who wasn't s to say in too young and stuff i'm not implying that i'm just curious what y'all think. Does he like me or are we just getting to be closer friends ??
