The teacher said we can sit wherever we want so I sat in the front. When he came in, I noticed that he looked kinda nervous,he came by kinda close to the desk beside me, and was looking around for a few minutes until he finally sat his booksack down and sat infront of me. We smiled at each other.He did not speak unless it had something to do with our work or if I talked to him,and his response would be a shrug/chuckle or a nod.At the end I got up the nerve to say "It was nice working with you" and without looking he said "you too"I was really happy, but..I'm kinda discouraged because it's like "what if he just wanted to sit in the front and I am just overreacting?" :(Could it be that I am? I was very happy when he said that we were friendsBut that's when my other guy friends were like "No,you dumbass! Now you're stuck in the friend zone ." I just wanted me and him to be friends because I wanted to get to know him first and not rush into things like some girls would.Am I wrong for wanting to work my way up from the friend zone?

There is nothing wrong with that if he is as shyas he seems that may work better than going up and flirting with him. He is beginning to respond to you thats great keep working on it. GOOD LUCK! keep me updated on how it goes :)
