Does he want to date me? 5 stars!!! Please help!!!!?

My best guy friend has recently (past two weeks) has been trying to convince me we're daiting (which we're not). We talk on the phone for hours every single day, hang out as much as possible in school, and everyone in the school thinks we're dating. We also hang out outside of school (usually just in friend groups). He keeps telling me he doesn't like me, but that we're inevitably going to fall in love and date one day. He keeps telling me he knows I like him, which I do, but I keep denying it. Then he drops the subject and brings it up a day later. He has told me many times I am his best friend(although we're constantly teasing and being mean to one another), but does he like me...? We're 14, going into 9th btw. Thanks!
