Did I just friendzone the guy I have feelings for?

Anonymous

So I liked (or I guess like since I still do) this guy in one of my classes and we've only spoken once. Anyway, throughout this fall semester, I would catch him staring at me or trying to talk to me at times. He also at one point held my lower back when we were working with dangerous things that could fall on us. But then he would backtrack and leave me on seen or only pay attention to my friends. But then he would view my insta story quickly. Also even though he left me on seen, he would open it almost instantly. All my friends told me he did not like me and to move on, but on the last day before winter break, I was talking to the teacher and I turn to see him and his friends waiting for me to finish talking to the teacher. Like genuinely waiting like they were looking at me and chilling. That was the only time we spoke. And he seemed genuinely chill, but then he repeatedly left me on seen afterward but was the first person to look at my story. Since I was getting mixed signals, I decided to send him this: "Hey, I just wanted to say happy holidays and apologize for being so weird. I kinda liked you and didn't know how to express that. Anyway, have a merry Christmas, and maybe we can be friends or at least forget the moment where I asked you how to pronounce the e in your name" and he responded with, "All good lol friends sounds coo, and have a great Christmas" Keep in mind this was sent at 1:17 am and I sent it through /silent on Instagram. /Silent means a notification would not come through on your phone and the only way for someone to see the message is if they go to DMS on Instagram and check if you sent something. He responded at 2:38 am. Then he stops viewing all my stories and hasn't viewed them in a while. So did I friendzone him? Or am I being dumb and reading too much into everything... because I feel like it would make sense for him to tell me he liked me too after I sent that message, but he didn't...
