I have finally built up the courage to post this thread.

To start, here's a bit about myself.
I am probably one of the biggest nerds at my school. Yet, I am the only one of the male gender to wear pink. I get picked on all the time especially when I prove someone wrong in a debate/argument. Other than that I am pretty respected for my knowledge. I am a sophomore in high school. This girl I will been talking about came into the school from a different middle school.

At the beginning of last year, I met this girl that I just labeled as "cute" when I first saw her as I was interested in a girl from another school and was pursuing her. At the beginning of last year we exchanged a few words and worked together on a few English assignments now and then. She has really nice friends and I do admit I do like a few of them. Last year I had three classes with her, and I am the only one to blame for not taking advantage of this opportunity last year. Now for the girl I knew already, we broke up as things weren't going as we hoped. And she had family problems.

I come back to school the next year (this year). She was pretty good looking and all, but I still wasn't completely interested. Fall of this year, I sign up for Cross-country (X-C as I will refer to) not knowing she would too. Again, I am the only one to blame for not taking advantage of this opportunity. Yet, at one of out home X-C meets, she is atop the hill talking with her friend. We have to run up the hill to the finish on this course. I was tired and whatnot running up the hill. As I take the final turn, I hear her say in an enthusiastic voice "Go George!" Which happens to be my name. I sprint to the end and almost, by a hair, loose to a runner on the other team. This year, I have two classes with her. One which I can't really talk to her. This is orchestra, and she is a bassist, and I am a violinist. If you know anything about orchestras basses and 1st violins are not near each other at all. The thing is, there is this other guy bassist that flirts with her during class, and I can tell she likes it. Whenever I look across and see them I fell pretty let down, and she looks guilty about it too whenever I look over. Whenever she has rests in the music, she looks over at me. She also looks over to me when that other guy isn't there.

Now moving to the past three-four months. At this point I am considering her and my interest grows and grows from this point to current day. One of our teachers gave us both passes to come over for some help in homeroom. In the hallway, we walked together, and she asked some questions one was "Do you know what homeroom class (girl's name goes here) is in?" I replied and said "No, sorry I don't" with a smile. She asked a few others but I don't know why I didn't remember. With my tendency to walk fast because I am six something, she keeps up. After we were at the teacher we both need help from, I got a pass and proceed to my next class. Her next class is near mine so we went in the same direction. She was talking the whole way with this friend she saw.

Now, it was just today I took a big step forward in my science class which is the only class I can initiate contact in. We were having a test and the guy who sits next to my friend and this girl was absent, so I took the opportunity to debate with my friend (we're the only ones who debate about politics/religion/issues in the whole school, and we're called nerds for that) and to try to make a move. Somehow we got talking into about my Russian culture, and this girl turns and asks me if I can say something, I do say what she asks, and I say it. She asks me to say something which involves her saying her name in Russian. I say it correctly in Russian, she seems to be interested, and she says that's not her name. She does not seem to accept it. I think she is only doing this to prolong the conversation (?). When talking to her she keeps steady eye contact. The only reason I notice is because I think her eyes are her prettiest feature. During the test, she goes to the bathroom, and sharpens her pencil twice, and asks me for the time twice. She is fiddling around a lot with her hair and stretching a fair bit. I saw her move in closer whenever I moved in closer too. Though after the test she just flees to her friends while I continue to talk with my friend.

What should I do? Is it worth it to go father? If so, how should I do this?

Thanks for reading, I fell much better getting this off my chest. I'll keep you guys updated on your suggestions and how it goes.
