Does she see me as a friend? Or more?

Hi, I just wondered if i could have your opinion on a situation i'm in with a girl. I've known this girl for about 8 years now, she is the sister of one of my best friends. Although i have known her for quite some time, it is not until recently (ie. the last year) that we have become much closer, and we talk on the phone/ text each other a lot. I have just started university, and she is still living with her parents in my home city, about an hour's drive away from where i am studying. Her brother is also at university, but much much further away, and so I only see him during the major holidays. However, I have still been able to spend time with his sister, and i have been back to my home city a few weekends to see her. She always smiles when we meet, and so do I. We laugh and joke with each other, and often make fun of (tease) each other, but in a way that we both have an automatic understanding that neither of us really mean it. More recently I travelled back, and stayed at her house at the weekend. She had asked if I could help out with some revision she was doing, so I travelled down on the Saturday afternoon, and returned Sunday evening. Even during the revison we laughed and joked around, but also on the Sunday we went for a particularly wet muddy walk, and she from time to time would touch my arm to pretend to push me, and then grab it quickly as if to suddenly catch me.
