Why does he stare and then ignore me?

Anonymous
There was this guy that liked me and I liked him too. Unfortunately, I was too shy and took too long to respond and when I did, he rejected me. I moved on and ignored him. Now a school year later, we have 2 classes together again, but now he's starting to pay attention to me. He stares at me a lot in class. I'll turn my head in class and he would be staring at me and it would feel like he's been staring at me for a while. Also, when I try to turn and have conversations with my best friend, he'll watch me have my conservations. His stares are always the same. Blank with no expression and even when I catch him staring, he won't look away. Afterschool one day, he ran ahead of me outside and kept turning around and looking at me. Then, in the hallway when I walk past him, he'll be with his friends and he can't even hold a glance. He'll grab onto his id lanyard, fidget with it, and look at the ground until he passes me. Then, some days, it'll be absolutely nothing from him. Why so much confidence to stare at me in class, but none anywhere else? Or in particular, when he's with his friends. I feel like he hasn't moved on yet. Does he still like me? Opinions?
