Anyways, I found out he likes me through a friend and now...well, he isn't talking to me and it's been a week!I'm so shy, so I don't think I'd be able to speak to him without sweating and looking at my feet. I just don't know what to do anymore :( Can you please help me?

Why don't you take the seat next to him on the bus? Since you live nearby; say hello whenever you see him outside. Tell the friend who told you he likes you, to let him know that it's nice, and it's okay if he wants to talk to you. Then just wait. Try to give him a smile when you see him. He has to know you're not angry or embarrassed to know he likes you.
If you keep being shy and not saying anything; some girl who is braver than you will. Don't worry about being nervous, he's nervous too. If you sit next to him on the bus; you will both get used to each other, and feel more comfortable about talking to each other.

 You are at an age when you can like someone as much as you want but don't have to do anything about it. Blame it on inexperience and nerves. Probably he knew his friend told you that he likes you and he got embarrassed. What is your goal here? Dating or just to practice talking to boys? He confided in a friend about his new interest, but at the same time he didn't want it spilled to you, because you might think he didn't have the guts to talk to you and had to go through a friend as messenger.
If he's not talking to you then it just proves that he wants to like people from afar, to daydream and not necessarily form relationships with them. Maybe he's the same way and he's afraid he would sweat and look at his feet while talking to you. Give him some time to get used to you.
Cherish this state, this curiosity as much as you can. When you grow up you will feel annoyed by people who like you but not talk to you.
