What does this mean where he does that?

I was missing for like almost a week out of school (I was sick) and he asked my friend and I quote "Mhmm... Where did Lexi go? I am stating to miss her..." And my friend said "Why do you care?" and He said " Um.... Um I don't?" And he looks at me but his friends hate me except for Brent and he likes me >.> . But.... I really like him! But he stares at me but does he like me?!?!
