i think she like meee!!! [long post]

17M, her 17F. we arent exactly friends. but....im hepiii that im not hehe. so the story starts last year when we classmates were at a friend's and were about to leave. we both were the ones left in the room and rest of ppl had already left. i was thinking of giving her some kind of jolly memory even if i hadnt conversed with her. basically wanted to make efforts, lol. so i gently tapped her left cheek with my right fist, she smiled without looking at me (kinda shys cuz i could see a glow idk how to explain), 1 second pause, turns, picks her stuff and leaves. and i zone out for another second out of nervousness, then i feel like going after her once again for a more formal "take care" but she's gone. its like she rushed.

shes a frikkin kind person, the kindest ive ever seen. like she helps EVERYONE and handles situations so efficiently without hurting anyone, i cant stop glazing.

fast forward to this year, during April i could see her stealing glances at me in the classroom. summer break. school reopens. then, she has a dance competition, unfortunately couldnt see her dance (and i still feel bad about it) but it was classical dance so she was dressed SO BEAUTIFUL. so after last bell when we were near the main exit i MUSTERED courage and said "you looked pretty today". she said "thank you" and my nervousness snapped back in and followed up with "not to hit on you or anything" THANK GOD she didnt hear me cuz she turned, asked "what" (cuz by that time she was about 4-5 feets ahead and i was mumbling that sentence) and i said nothing.

actually, we never converse, like i talk to her friend group very naturally. she actively looks somewhere else when i talk to her friends and shes sitting there, which is smth i noticed that doesnt happen when other guys are in the same place.

fast forward, recently, she was wearing an NCC cap, her hairs in a bun. SHE LOOKED FASCINATING. so walked up to her, stood beside on her left, said near her ear "youre lookin frikkin pretty" (idk i think that has become my staple word, "pretty". im dumb ik) and disappeared. like i didnt even see her reaction. she never talked about it (cuz we never converse, except when i initiate occasionally).

sometime later it was such a happy day for me, cuz she came to me and started a [short-lived, cuz my other friend pulled me, god give him brains] convo about something i told her earlier in the day. YAYAYAYAY, SAFE.

once we were having a group photo and for some reason we were posed in such a way my arm was touching her tummy. now, i didnt notice for a couple of seconds, thought it might be my friends hands until it felt soft. as a gentleman, i pulled my hand back, but only after another few seconds [ and for some reason the guy with the camera couldnt find a good angle]. and it wasnt like just touching, it was slightly pressed in, and doesnt take genius to know to move an inch back (when youre in the centre of the camera frame).

now the main point i wanna mention and the proof im gonna give is, that were both very shy, and try not to look weird in each other's eyes, probably try to make each other comfortable(which is also why i too initiate convos occasionally). proof:-

im in a play and we were rehearsing, she was also there watching us. my role was like enter, 2 mins dialougues and exit, no more. so she actively avoided lookin at me except for a single glance for the whole 2 mins. when other were doing their roles, she was looking at them normally.

not looking at each other was mutual until like 1-2 months ago when i decided ill try to take more efforts, although i didnt much anyways except a few convos. yesterday i had decided to wait and see if she does something. and today, i dont think i need to.

im dying to know now that i am right.
