Does she like me? PLEASE HELP!?

we have been friends since grade 1 and now we are in grade 8. I think she is cute but i also think that my friends like her too. one weird guy (also my friend) and some other dude "touch" her during recess and sometimes when im around and it happens, she says (my name), help! she doesnt like them to touch her, and I never do. today my hands were cold (they always are) and she says to shake her hand so she could see i they were cold. im not sure if this was just and excuse to hold my hand. she also made a cute nick name for me. does she like me?
