 Who knows what's going on. Given that he lied to you saying that he was a girl, I think you should be hesitant to trust him. He sounds pretty dodgy and even if he sounds familiar, be very careful!

 Just to add to my earlier answer - not everyone on facebook is nice or real.

"He dyed his hair different colours to hide his identity and pretended to be a young boy called 'James' and a teenage girl called 'Gorgeous Charlie' to meet children aged between 11 and 16"
This is a very real threat, so please remove this person from your facebook immediately.
Be safe

This sounds very dodgy. It's a bit convenient how they've tried to win you over by saying they're shy and new to your school. But they're apparently male? And you have no proof that this 'girl' actually exists?
I agree with the others. This needs to stop, so block this person and report them. No matter how nice this person seems, they don't sound genuine! This could develop into a dangerous situation. Listen to your friends!

This is a very dangerous situation!
You should NEVER add anyone you do not know in person to your facebook.
As it stands, there are so many inconsistances in what you have told us.
1. Profile is MALE, yet this person says she is female.
2. They are at your school, yet no one has ever seen them, even in classes?
3. Your friends do not know of/have seen this person
4. Your friends say this person could be dangerous
5. This person says they are too shy to go outside (bit convenient!)
6. Do they have a photo? Any photos? If not why not?
You are being groomed by an internet creep.
PLEASE tell an adult, your parents, a teacher at your school about this!
IF this is legitimate and there is in fact a girl contacting people from her school via facebook, then no harm done,
BUT - if this is an internet paedophile (and that is what it sounds like) this man needs to be stopped. By telling someone, he can be stopped before he can hurt anyone.
You are in a lot of danger, cut all contact with them. Remove them from your facebook - block them NOW! DO NOT give out any personal details, phone number, contact info.
Print off a copy of their profile and take it to a teacher - they will be able to check on the register to see if this person IS at your school, and will be able to deal with the situation from there.
So many kids your age are hurt, raped, and abducted by people pretending to be teenagers on facebook. They use fake profiles, fake pictures and can be VERY believable. Please, please please be very careful!

I think your friends are totally right. You don't seem to have ever met this person before - and her profile account is male.
There is a very high chance that this could be a dangerous man who is attempting to groom you.
Cut contact, and report this to a teacher so they know other people have been added.
