How to carry conversation
I am very outgoing and can usually carry conversations very well if there are 3 or more people, however if it is just me and one other person, I can't seem to keep a conversation going. Any tips on how to keep conversations going and not make it awkward?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Be yourself. always. The worst thing is to pretend to be something that your really not. You should walk into your new school with a smile on your face, and into every class. It makes you look approachable. To make friends, you should always try to make them feel comfortable. DON'T endlessly talk about yourself. Ask them questions about themselves, make it seem like you're interested, and don't be afraid to smile. You can ask them questions referring to their heritage, or where have they been besides America, or if they don't like any of their teachers, or if they got lost in the halls or are still nervous about high school, or if they like it better than junior high. Theirs billions of questions and things you can talk about to get a relationship [friendship] going.
hope i helped

Act normal when you're talking,don't make it seem like you're trying too hard,like when it's 3 or more people you need to make sure you talk to all three so no one gets left out,they also will be paying attention to what you're saying,talk about things that connect to what they are talking even things that are unbelievable news,or what trips you've been on,fun ideas to do with your friends,anything else that comes into your head so you could keep the conversation from going.

Well it depends on the gender of that other person.
If its a girl...
-compliment on her shirt,shoes,accesories, whatever you GENUINELY find it nice. Don't fake it because it will seem way obvious. after that, you can ask where she got it and all that. And talk about places she like to shop at.
-if she's not really fashion forward/interested then you can talk about tv shows, recently watched movie, song.
-if she's big on music, then you can ask if she got to go to concert or something. If she's into rock/screamo/emo/indie/alternative, you can ask her if she got to go to the Warped Tour. etc.
Now for guys, that warped tour thing definetly works for guy as well. In fact the best way to approach to a guy, or so i found, is through music.
Sports. Yes, another fast way for a guy to start talking and keep on talking. Get interested in sports yourself so you wont choke during middle of a conversation. OR!!! if you don't know, then you can ask about a sports and they can explain it to you thus they are carrying on a convo.
Most importantly, just make them feel relaxed because they will probably worry about that too. Joke around, ask open ended question, instead of yes or no. Be interested in what they do. Video games, sports, or whatever it maybe.
Hope this helped and if you need more specific help, let me know :D
