Popular boy, shy girl
I go to a very small high school (100 people)and I'm know as a very quiet, shy person. Usually I'm reading or doing my classwork and not really talking to anyone. I'm probably crazy but I think a very popular, sort of punk rock boy likes me. He always sits very close to me on the bus and in class (not right next to me) and I catch him looking at me from the other side of the room quite a bit. I like him a lot but I'm not really sure what to do. I'm very shy and it would be very awkward for me to just go up and start talking to him. How do I find out if he really likes me? And how do I very subtly let him know that I like him?

I can't tell you how many times this happens...opportunities don't go on forever, though. Later years often reveal multiple chances were lost forever, because we did not risk rejection. It happens to nearly everyone...crushes you don't do anything about and ones you don't even know of! Later, you discover that more people than you realized were very interested and you were all just too shy or did not take a chance for whatever reason. Whether this guy or the next, take a chance. Cross the room, the hall, whatever and say hello, smile, look right into his eyes, compliment him on something...a job well done, his originality, whatever. Guys like compliments as much as we do. Give him a little reassurance that you are approachable and won't be rejected by him. Then, let him make his move and be ready.

If hes looking at you, he probably has an attraction for you, so you're pritty much in to talk to him. Sit next to him on the bus and talk to him about stuff going on in class, just to strike up a conversation. Maybe even ask him for help on it. Then that will lead to talking more, and being friends, and probably more! But it wouldn't be awkward, just go up and say "hi, whats up?" or something like that. Like I said, you're basically "in". Good luck!

There is a book by Debra Fine called 'The Fine Art of Small Talk'. I've recomended this book to so many people because it's the best way to learn how to approach people and begin and conversation with them. So i'll recomend the same to you.
Don't be shy approaching him, there are no ranks in schools. We're all the same species and there is nothing between us. The Queen is no different than us, so this boy is no different to you.
After a while, ask what his feelings are towards you and find out what your feelings are towards him.
Good luck with the future and remember, there are no ranks in schools,
