It's probably nothing, but if it happens again go to the doctor.

I started to drift off like you normally do, but I was feeling very relaxed like I couldn't even feel my body. I don't know how long I was out, but the kid sitting next to me started jerking me awake. I woke up gasping for air and was all like whatthefuckbrah? and he told me that I had stopped breathing while I was asleep and thought I was dead.

This ever happen to anyone?

You sir, have sleep apnea.

Could be, Hope it never happens again.
Like I said I was just completely drained. Could be that my vitals just droped way bellow normal and my body didn't send the neural shock it usually does when this happens.(The times you jerk yourself awake for no reason).

Do a polysomnogram. I did one for my insomnia and was medically diagnosed with it. They can diagnose you with sleep apnea if you actually have it and most insurance companies cover it. I also have sleep apnea myself when I do sleep, and it makes me feel paralyzed and like I can't breath because I get stuck in a twilight state in between being asleep and awake, it's scary to have insomnia and sleep apnea together sometimes.

you lucky son of a bitch. if that ever happened to me. i'd be dead. no one will wake me up lol

I'm no doctor, but a couple weeks back I attended a sleep study as an assistant, and got some first hand knowledge & insight into sleep abnormalities that people suffer from. One of the pamphlets I read describes something eerily similar to the experienced you recounted. It's a condition known as "sleep apnea", in which people during their sleep, suffer from momentary stops in their breathing. They are usually brief and repeat, which can result in abnormal snoring and other symptoms. It's nothing to be scared of, you would've woken up (not died) even if your class mate didn't notice you. This is because while in a sleep state, the brain is still responsible for respiratory function, and sends nerve signals (or clicks) that partially wake up your body (not you) to resume the process. If all else had failed, the suffocating sensation would've definitely startled you to your senses.

EDIT: I did not consult the internet for this.
