Just to clarity things at bit: you're in your twenties and this young man is in his early teens? Are you looking for a friend Mod cut. or a romantic relationship (which cannot happen as the young man in question is well under the legal age of consent)?

This is all so weird. You are 23 and you want to know if a middle school kid likes you because he fist bumps you? Mod cut. I would guess even if you mean just as platonic friends, you must know your school would frown on this and you could lose your job. What is your capacity at this school?

Yes, he likes you too much and you have been encouraging him and that is going to cause a lot of emotional trouble for that young boy as well as legal trouble for yourself.
He is a minor child and student, and you are an adult employee. You cannot be friends with each other. You need to stop encouraging him immediately or else you will end up in trouble with the law and lose your job at that school and won't be eligible for re-hire at any other school, or maybe a lot worse.
It's okay to smile and say hello to other students in the hallways as you pass by each other but you can't be friends with any of the students. You need to stop now - no more talking to each other, no more fist bumps, no physical contact at all, and no more standing looking at each other longingly before moving on. You could end up in jail as a predator if you don't stop encouraging him.
NO! Whatever you think is going on, you need to step away. It is a really bad idea for a 23 year old in a position of authority to be friends with a 13 year old. It is completely inappropriate and illegal for a 23 year old to have a romantic relationship with a 13 year old. You are the adult, and you need to stop this.
You need to get a different job, pronto. I don't know what issues you have, but a 23 yr old thinking this way about a student at a school that you work at, EVEN IF THE STUDENT WERE AN 18 YEAR OLD SENIOR, would be unhealthy, and if you were to act upon it and develop a sexual relationship, it would be a criminal offense.
You seem to be very very young for your age, and maybe you feel comfortable being friends with a middle schooler, and maybe you would like it if the friendship turned sexual eventually, but you just cannot do this! The simple fact that you are thinking about whether one of the kids at the school you work at "likes" you or not, is dangerous.
Get out of there. Do you have family? Do you live with your parents? Go to them and ask them to help you to find another job, NOT working around people under 18, before you get yourself into trouble.
Is there any way that you could meet other young adults who think like you, to become friends with?
