English Class Day One-Megan and Me

on the first day of one of my english classes we did the stereotypical find-a-partner-and-talk-to-them-so-you-meet-at-least-one-other-person-in-this-class introductions.

so everyone in the classroom turns around and to their sides and starts talking to the person next to them, except for the person next to me, so i turn to her. the professor has told us to figure out their name, major, and fun fact about them.

i turn to this girl and i'm all cheery and tell her my name, and then ask hers and shes like "megan" and i'm like "What?? Did you say Megan?" and she nods, cause everyone else is talking at normal people volume and she is whispering to me and i cant hear her at all.

now, with introducing yourself and asking questions and things to new people, you usually trade off asking questions, so since i asked the first question i thought that she would ask the next question. however, she did not, so we are sitting in silence, avoiding eye contact, until i finally give in and ask "Whats your major?" she answers again:
her: well its psychology but im also minoring in (mumblewhispermumble)
me: psychology? and what?
her: english 
me: oh. that sounds nice.

by this point i am leaning all the way over the row that separates us, ear first, and i can still barely hear her. we sit quietly again for a bit while i wait for her to ask me what my major is, but she doesnt. so i just tell her that im majoring in EXSS and minoring in spanish and english to which she just nods.

we continue to sit in silence after that, but we have one more question to answer so i ask.

me: so, any fun facts about you?
her: well actually yeah. im allergic to caffeine. 
me: caffeine?
her: yeah
me: wow, well birthday parties as a child must have sucked.
her: mhmm
me: wow.
her: yeah they originally thought i was autistic because i used to get tics and act very strange and not like normal children after drinking caffeine. 
me: ......
her: what about you?
(what can follow i'm allergic to caffeine and was falsely diagnosed with autism when i was younger?)
me: well, i play frisbee.
her: oh. i dont play sports

right... in my mind this is what my introduction of her sounds like: hi class. this is megan. shes majoring in psychology with a minor in english and she was falsely diagnosed with autism as a child.

i decide not to say this.

so we are sitting there and finally megan asks me a question.
her: so, what else do we have to find out?
me: i think just name, major and fun fact.
*silence*
her: so... do we have to keep talking?

i look around and all the other pairs are still talking.. some are laughing and making jokes, others are talking about their study abroad programs and everyone else seems to be good with conversation. everyone else seems to be having normal people conversations, except for us.

me: i dont think we have to?
her: ok.

we are going to be great friends.
