But when I walked into the cafeteria with Jessica —

trying to keep my eyes from sweeping the place for him, and failing entirely —

I saw that his four siblings of sorts were sitting together at the same table, and he was not with them.

Mike intercepted us and steered us to his table.

Jessica seemed elated by the attention, and her friends quickly joined us.

But as I tried to listen to their easy chatter, I was terribly uncomfortable, waitingnervously for the moment he would arrive.
但在我努力去听他们轻松的谈话的同时，我仍然不安地等待着他进来的那个让人提心吊胆的时刻。
I hoped that he would simply ignore me when he came, and prove my suspicions false.

He didn't come, and as time passed I grew more and more tense.
他没有来，随着时间的流逝我越来越紧张了。
