I'll do what I can. I haven't been in middle school for almost twenty years, and while I was there, I didn't talk to as many girls as I might have liked.

One way to go about it would be to find out something in particular that he's interested in - for instance, say he's into photography. Then what you do is: You and a friend pass by him and you say something like, "Oh, he'll know - excuse me, we heard you're a photographer, and I'm getting some portraits done, so I was wondering if you had any tips or anything?"

At this point, your friend helpfully says, "I gotta go, see you later!" and walks on, leaving you talking with him. Guys love to talk about their hobbies, so just listen for a bit and ask "out of curiosity" what he likes about it, that kind of thing (try not to rehearse questions in advance; it'll make you sound phony). Where the conversation goes from there is up to both of you, but that's one way to get your foot in the door. And don't forget to introduce yourself at some point!

After that, you'll be able to say "Hi" to him in a not-random way; after all, you know each other now. With any luck, you'll find that conversation eventually just comes naturally.

That's just one thing you can try; there's also things like joining a club that he's in, or asking him about something from a class you're both in, or the old standby of "accidentally" dropping your books in front of him and seeing if he helps you pick them up (that last one is pretty desperate, though, so only do it as a last resort).

Good luck!
