Does this guy like me?

Question

I have been friends with a guy 2 years older then me for a year. Lately, I'm getting the idea that he likes me.
Yesterday when I was talking online with him, he said he had to go because his computer had a timer, so it would shut off in a few minutes. Then he said he will miss me. I just said, "what?" and then he said "nvm" and then said"lack of sleep+headache" -___-;;

Today, he asked me to fly kites with him. It's windy where I am. Then I told him my lil sis was with me, so I would have to bring her. He made this face -.-

He's usually first one to start a conversation when im online. I think one time, he hinted that he wanted me to go see a movie with him..

Problem is, I don't like him like that. I'm not attracted to him AT ALL. Cool guy, but not for me. How do I let him down easy? I don't want to talk to him about it though..I might be wrong. But what can I do "keep it in the friend zone"?? Thank u!

I'm in 9th grade..in case you wanted to know

Keep you messages short and tell him you need to get off the computer for some reason. He'll get the message but you could string him along a little for fun at the same time.
