Friends boyfriend problem :( PLEASE READ

So basically I have a good friend I’m not close to her we’re just good friends. She told me that this guy in my history class and her are boyfriend and girlfriend when I met her. She just told me they broke up and now they’re back together right.

This guy sits right at the back in history so I turn around to look at the door if someone’s there because in our school it makes a beep sound if someone is there so each time I turn he has a huge smile on his face. Another time I walked past him and he looked somewhere else the whole time and then yesterday he looked somewhere else too but this time he was trying to hide his smile

I smiled to myself when I walked past him cus idk tbh and then the next day because he sits right front of me in class and me right at the back he turns around and looks at me before lesson finishes. He did it again another day as well. One day he was going on his phone and it was only me another girl and his friend in that class cus all people left. I was waiting to leave at the same time as him to see if he would do anything and because I couldn’t wait that long I got up and the minute I got up he stopped going his phone and walked out the door.

Now school ended. Lately i had a dream and he told me that he really likes me and that his girlfriend was just a cover up and that he really wanted to talk to me but didn’t because he had a girlfriend and she annoyed him. He told me in my dream every interaction with her was fake and even offered to walk home with me when she was not there( in my dream). It felt so real

I don’t like him but I don’t know how to react. Does he like me or something?

ONE IMPORTANT THING I FORGOT:
His girlfriend who’s my friend told me and him to walk to class together and he I just avoided him to not lead him on cus I like his friend yeah and then he just kept getting shy looking at the floor whilst walking up the stairs behind me. I walked much faster and ahead and completely avoided
Your dream isn't real. It's just your wonderful, miraculous, extremely complex brain doing dreamy things in your sleep.

Changing your behaviour in the real world in response to a dream should only be done if it's something positive.

What you should do is next time you see him, if he's with your friend, say something like "Ah this is Fred, your boyfriend. Pleased to meet you." If he's alone or with other people say "Hi! You're Jane's friend..."

In other words you should look to include him as a platonic friend in your social circle.
Because that's what normal human beings with social skills do. Instead of all this socially awkward stuff of looking at each other and not saying anything.

If you want a boyfriend for yourself, there's an abundance of men out there. Go get one for yourself. Just be aware that if you're dating teen boys, you should keep your expectations realistic in terms of how mature the boy will be. And how much drama they will introduce into your life as a result.

...And you should aim to be on good speaking terms with everyone in every class you go to. Some you'll gel with more than others. That's fine. Just spend more time with the people you like best.

You claim that you do not like him but seem to be really invested in his actions when you are around him.

Best thing to do is to speak to him and get things straight. If you like each other, you decide from there.
