You and Kent were the two friends that nobody thought fit together, you being a more extroverted person, while Kent was an introvert.

Kent was going to walk over and say hello, but he realized that you were talking to a couple of your friends. He didn't know what to do since he really wanted to say hi, but he didn't know your friends and he was scared they wouldn't like him. So insteadof sayinganything, he stood there, awkwardly staring.
