What does it mean when a guys friends do the following:?

There's this guy who I've liked and I think he's liked me aswell (because of certain signals) for about a year now. We are both shy. I asked him out just before some important exams and he said he didn’t know and then 2 days later he said not now but maybe after them. Basically I ignored him and my friends said that he showed signs of liking me again like being where I was all the time and looking and stuff. Some things his friends have done:

1. One day I was walking outta school and his friends were like saying his name and then were like shouting to me ‘come back’ and telling him ‘she’s going’. I looked back and I just saw him looking in my direction.Then some days he would look and others not and then one day his friend said ike that I was 'stalking' him and stuff (which I obviously wasn't but maybe they just don’t like me who knows?? )
2. The other day I walked past him and his friends……I thaught they said ‘ Isn’t that the girl that fancies ‘ and then his name but my friend said that they said ‘Isn’t that the girl you like ‘ and then his name and then they were saying like ‘are you single?) and they like pushed him and stuff but because.
I think his friend threw a sweet towards my table but it didn't hit me.
We're 16 and 17 : )
