What are his intentions?

There is the young man at my school, I shall call him Morris (not his real name). At my school, we are a hgih school, not seperated into grades, we all work together.. I am a sopre, and he is a junior. Last year, we talked sometimes, and I would say we are not quite friends. Well anyways, on the first day of school, he wanted me to sit next to him. I found him staring at me quite alot as well. During an oral presentation of mine, he kept grinning at me, and told me it was a great paper. Today at school, he kept turning around to grin at me, as I was sitting directly behind him. He talked briefly to me at lunch (we get to leave campus). As I returned from lunch, he complemented my shoes and how nice I looked with my hair up. What is going on here? My fellow female clmates seem to think he likes me, I beg to differ. I just don't know. Please share your thoughts.
