This chapter seems longer than the rest?

"Sorry [Name], but do you think you can cover for me?" Shinji asked. "I have an urgent meeting with the student council president. I'll make it up to you next time."
Without waiting for your response, Shinji hurriedly ran out of the classroom.
As soon as he was gone, you were left all alone to clean the room. Sighing, you walked towards the black board and began erasing the writings. Everything was so quiet. There were no birds chirping outside the window and the winds were awfully silent at this time.
You were anxious to get home so you needed to hurry. Your parents were expecting you to come home early today. Just as you were about to erase the last writing, the door to your classroom suddenly slid open, making you slightly jump.
You were quite surprised to see the new transfer student standing right there, staring right back at you. Your heartbeat slightly increased its pace and you could hear it pounding in your ears. For some reason, you felt a nagging feeling deep inside the pits of your stomach.
The silver-haired boy said nothing and his gaze continued to linger on you, which made your feet go all wobbly and jelly-like. Did the other girls react this way too? If they did, it was no mystery.
The two of you had a staring contest for a while. Silence still stayed, but this time, it grew more intense and heavy. Finally, firmly, the boy broke the eye contact and combed his hair through his silvery locks. He shrugged and made his way towards Gon's desk to retrieve the rest of his text books. It seems like this was his purpose for coming inside.
Wordlessly, you went back to your task at hand too, clutching the eraser tightly. There was no interaction between you two whatsoever and you wanted to keep it this way. You weren't sure if you were ready to talk to him just yet.
Noticing that you were too focused on your chore, the boy gave you one last meaningful glance before taking his leave.
