I've already got plenty of friends and I'm not a nerd or anything but he only picks on me... he also picks on me normally when I'm alone :/3 weeks ago, he called me attractive once when we passed by and just walked off (was he being serious? I'm not ugly but I don't think I'm attractive either.. lol) and then later in the day he suddenly came up to me and said "I like dick" jokingly and laughed with his friends and I looked back with a confused face and saw him looking back as well, but afterwards he ignored me. Then last week his friend accidentally kicked a ball that hit my head and even though he didn't do it, he said "aww sorry!" and hugged me from the side - after that I just walked off (I gently pushed his arms off me). He also ignored me after that. Then two days ago I came out of class alone and he saw me and said "hello my good friend!" and put his arm on my shoulder and walked down the stairs with me halfway and his friends were looking at us and I just gave them a confused look and he let me go afterwards and I just walked off without looking back.Why is he doing that to me despite there being other new girls? And why does he ignore me after that?I have feelings for him too but he's really good-looking and popular and I just feel that he's out of my league...What should I do?

He probably thinks it's really funny because you're new and will probably feel a bit awkward most of the time. I doubt any of it's malicious and he probably does find you attractive. If he didn't you probably wouldn't even be on his radar (that's teenage boys for you)
Why don't you try teasing him back? You don't have to be overly flirty or anything, but his reaction will probably make his intentions clear. If he's doing it to be an asshole he probably won't like it and get cheeky. If he's doing it for a laugh he'll probably laugh back. For instance he comes up to you and says "I like dick" you should reply with "now why am I not surprised!" and laugh and smile at him. If he takes it the wrong way, you know he's an asshole and to keep away.
