The 2nd meeting

I came to the lecture a little bit earlier. I sat at the same place as usual. In a couple of minutes the other students started to come in. Sara didn't come. At first I thought that maybe she's late, however in the end I was sitting alone this time. I already forgot what happened with that guy last Monday.
But the strangest think was that I started to search for his face while watching how students are entering auditorium. I never do that usual. When I saw him I tried to play it cool like I didn't notice him. All the memories from last Monday started to rush back and I felt a little bit anxious.
He saw that my row is empty and he sat next to me leaving one spare sit between us. It looked a bit odd as I couldn't understand why he's trying to be near me. But deep down I knew that something's going to happen.
The first lecture passed quite well. I was focused on the tutor, but I couldn't help myself not looking at him with the corner of my eyes. I noticed how nervous he was. He was shaking his leg the whole time. When the lecture finished we had a 5 minutes break before the second one. I turned my head to the right and I saw that my whole row was full of guys. I needed to tap my student card for attendance. And all I could think about was how the hell I'm going to pass all those guys? Taking my whole bravery into my hands I stood up and said sorry to the guy who's been sitting next to me and to the other guys as well. I felt so awkward as I had to squeeze and be real close to go pass them. I looked nice this Monday as I curled my hair which looked super cute on me. That's why I was feeling confident about my selection and acted like the life is great. I went down the stairs tapped my card and then I went straight to the toilet to take a look at myself and to calm down a little as I was feeling very nervous because of that guy. Usual I don't feel this way and I never cared much about the guys, but there was something special about this one and I couldn't explain it at all. No one were making me so nervous. I didn't know what to expect from him. I came back in 2 minutes. When I came to my row to get back to my sit I said sorry to all the guys again and when I was trying to pass THAT guy I tripped a little bit which was embarrassing however I pretended like nothing happened. I sat at my place again and in a couple of minutes before the second lecture started a guy sitting next to me leaned forward to me and said.
'Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Harry. What's your name?'
'Hi. Nice to meet you too. I'm Katrina'
And then he leaned back and said nothing at all. That was the whole conversation. It looked a bit funny for me and cute at the same time as it was obvious that it took him a lot of courage to talk to me. I thought that he's a very shy guy which I kind of liked. The second lecture passed the same as the first one, however I noticed that Harry is mirroring me. I leaned forward and put my hand on the table out of boredom and I saw how he did the same thing. He didn't try to talk to me again which was fine as I understood how nervous he feels. After the lectures I went to the toilet once again to fix my hair and to look at myself at the mirror. When I was going back to go outside and go home I saw how Harry and some his friend was standing near the exit. I felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do so I just went outside without looking at him. He noticed me and for a second it felt like he wanted to talk again, but I went outside so fast and he didn't have a chance to do it.
I thought this is the end of the story, how naive I was...
