What shall I do or say to him? I desperately need help!

There is a guy i love at college. we both live in the uk and we're 17. he is afghani, very studious and decent and kind and very reserved indeed. he doesnt speak to girls that much. i have been liking him since a year. i left college but i came back now. i thought about him all the time since i was away. i basically fell in love at first sight. its not lust because he is the one and only one i think of and want to be with. i mistakenly told two of my curious friends about him. when he used to see me, he always turned around and looked at me every minute while he spoke to his friends. but when i looked at him, he used to turn back. did he like me then? i always said hi to him but he never said it by himself. recently, my two friends went to him and said to one another in a low voice: 'zara likes him'. my friends told me he scratched his back after hearing that. i wasnt present that time. i felt so embarrassed!
my friends then started stalking him at college, said hi to him and laughed at him whenever they saw him. he must have thought how these girls knew his name cuz he never met them! my friends also mentioned my name and smiled at him. yesterday, when my friends said hi to him but they said he never said hi, he looked angry and just went inside the class. i didnt see that but maybe he was annoyed because my friends have been weird to him. also, he saw me with them most of the times. is he gonna think i told them to stalk him? is he gonna think im a bad girl? im sure he knows i like him, but i dont want that. i wanna be his friend first and then tell him my feelings. now, what shall i do? shall i talk to him and tell him the truth abt my mates and say sorry on their behalf? he knows that im also involved because one day i asked him: 'did two girls say something to u in the morning?' he said: 'no.' but im sure he heard them saying: 'zara likes him'. i feel awkward now. can i ever be friends with him after what happened? plz advise me. he doesnt have facebook. + he is very decent. plz help!!!!

First of all, take a deep breath. Secondly, just talk to him. Introduce yourself to him. Ask him how his classes are going. You have some common interests (you are both in college), so use that to spark conversation with him. Don't worry about all the silly stuff with your friends. Just take it upon yourself to talk to him. He might be shy, so just say something to him like normal. It will probably take some of the pressure off him.

Good luck.

thanks hun. But dont i need to make things clear? Cuz if he's annoyed with my friends, then i assume he will avoid me and be kinda annoyed with me. I have thought of a way to talk to him....like, i can say hello first and then say 'im sorry for what my friends have been doing to u. Dont mind plz.' and then i can ask other college stuff. Will that be alright?
