Does him fist bumping me mean that he likes me as a friend or that he likes me more than that?

Today, my class was having a discussion about health and wellness and how it relates to psychology. The tables in the room are arranged in a “U” with the tips of the “U” facing the professor. She arranged the tables like this to encourage class discussion. She asked a question and nobody answered. One of the other students in my class tried, but didn’t answer it correctly. I knew the answer, but I’m shy, so I “raised” my hand just by bending my elbow so that my hand was lifted off the table. Then my nerves got the better of me and I lowered it.

Another kid answered the question incorrectly, so I bent my elbow again. The guy who sits next to me whispered at me to raise my hand. I told him it was raised and he said higher. So I did and my professor called on me and I answered the question. She was satisfied with my answer and then started discussing it more with the class.

The guy told me nice job and I asked him if he was teasing me because I was rushing through the answer out of shyness. He said no and that he was serious because he couldn’t have answered it. Then he held out his fist wanting us to fist bump, so I did. This is our second class together and we’re definitely friends, but I’m not sure if it’s more than that. I’m thinking that a fist bump means he thinks I’m just one of the guys. What do you think?
He friendzoned me.
He likes me more than just a friend.
