Alright so I know the only way to really find out is by asking her, but I don't have the courage to do that, so please help.
On our initial day of meeting she looked into my eyes from across the room and ever since we have been getting close, though I back away because I'm a coward. We talk alone on the our bus and she acts playful, hitting me, insulting me but apologies afterwards, asks about me and my day, never leaves me out, stands up for me, sits by me, compliments me, say we're alike and that she misses me, challenges me, but gets annoyed when I don't do what she asks and shouts at me in arguments, though she does most of this, I don't bother as much as I should, she even asks me for hugs and tries to make me feel better.
