<human>: I have a classmate who volunteers alongside me at school events all the time. I see him a couple of times a week, and he seems like a pretty nice guy around his friends. He's the kind of person I'd want to be friends with too. The only problem is that he seems to have a deep-seated distaste for me.

 I can't remember talking to him until recently, but I'm sure I've never said anything to him that would offend him. Yet for some reason, every attempt I make at talking to him is shot down with biting sarcasm or veiled disinterest. It hurts more than it should, especially considering the fact that I have never been friends with him.

 The only reason I can imagine that he avoids me and acts this way is because of the difference in our religions. We both practice different forms of Christianity, but I just really don't know about this.

 Anyways, one random thing I remember from a while back is that he has this quirk. For some reason, he really likes flags, and no matter what flag it is, he can identify it. Today, I looked up the date for Flag Day, and sure enough, it's next week. Do you think if I did something for him on Flag Day, it would help alleviate any tension between us and maybe make way for a friendship? And if so, what could I do?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: A classmate I want to befriend doesn't like me at all, but has an affinity for flags. Should I do something for him or give him a gift on Flag Day?
