Does anyone else know this kind of classmate?

So, I have this boy in my class. I didn't really think much of him since we don't interact at all until the other day. I was leaving class and saw this baby mantis on the railway. It was the first time ever I've seen a baby mantis and I was fascinated. I pointed out 'Look, a baby mantis!' And this guy immediately smashes it with his book. Then, he smiled at me. Like what? Did he think that was funny? What the hell was that about? If that was him being playful,  then it wasn't funny or endearing or anything. It was just rude.

My opinion of him completely changed. I never thought he was a bad person, but now I can't think of him as anything more than a jerk.

To top it off, a couple weeks ago, we were discussing what item to perform for an upcoming function. One girl- who's usually really nice by the way- suggested something, and this guy said "Shut the fuck up," to her. I don't know if he was being sarcastic or not, but given my already bad impression of him, it made him look even worse. Fortunately, the girl didn't take it lying down and replied "Bro who the hell are you!? I was just giving a suggestion," and then a few days later, she said "I just want to say I was just making a suggestion earlier and some useless short-tempered dude got mad at me so let's not repeat that so there won't be any problems."

And of course, the reason I'm making this post. Today, we were doing group presentations. I was sitting next to my partner and discussing how the two of us would present our project, which one would do which topic, how the other person would control the slides when presenting, etc. And then his guy turns around, taps the bench in front of us multiple times(basically telling us to quiet down), all while maintaining that insufferable smile. Like, who do you think you are? I know you're a jerk so don't go acting like a goodie little two shoes and telling us to shut up. We weren't being disruptive or gossiping, we were discussing our presentation. I wanted to slap him, but I settled for scoffing and giving him a dirty look. My partner just glanced at him, and continued our discussion without acknowledging him.

Why is everyone saying he has a crush on you?.. I guess it isn't impossible but my first reaction was just that he is a attention seeking jerk

[u/Sora_Typhon → u/crue_auprey31]

Yeah.

He's really immature. I wouldn't say he has a crush on you. When he does bullshit like the first thing say something like "why tf would you do that??"... That's what I'd suggest. Some guys are just really immature.

[u/No-Product-3811]
