So I'm in the library finishing up my essay due tomorrow and this guy from my class comes up,talks to me about it, and starts reading my paper. He didn't say anything, but the face he made, seemed like he was unimpressed. Now I'm freaking out it isn't good. I worked my butt off on this, and I know I'm not the best wirtter, but feel this is a good piece of work I did. It's apolitical science class. I did feel good about it until now

Maybe it's VERY good, so good that he was pulling a face because HIS is rubbish in comparison..?

Lol. Doubt it. Not the best writter, but I'm sure the essay makes it's point and will do fine. I just thought it was weird for him to start reading it

Yes, to me those sound like the actions of an insecure person. I've been wrong before though.

It is pretty weird for a guy to come up and read your essay without asking. I agree, the guy was probably insecure about his own paper. But hey, poli-sci is usually opinion oriented and it's hard to come up with a wrong answer as long as you can justify. And there are plenty of famous political theorists who are terrible writers but are still able to get tier point across (not that you are one.)
