I'm 15 and a female. So there's this guy that I have been head-over-heels for since last year. He was like my best friend, we spent alot of time together and stuff. He actually liked me back, until marching band season came to a stop and I got no contact with him for about 8 months(I was in 8th grade, he was a sophomore). The first 3 I saw him maybe 3 times, and he was the same old lovable guy I'd once known. I found out he got a girlfriend(who is gothic and "used" to be a lesbian) and ever since then he's not been the same. They broke up over a mishap a while ago, but he's completely changed. He knows I still like him, and I have a feeling he likes me still. The only problem is, I see him every single day at school(since I moved up a grade and I'm in high school now) but he's hanging around with HER again! They broke up over something extreme and he's not allowed to date her. When he sees me, he walks right past me..why is he seeing through me when before he was right there beside me the whole time? What should I do to show him how I feel without making myself look stupid?? I'm too chicken to come out and say it, but too weak to hold it in. I love him, truly I do, and he's just someone I'm not going to be able to forget.

It's possible, due to the break up, that it just got him upset or maybe even angry..causing a change in his personality. However, people change a lot. So, he could've just changed over the past several months.
How you can get his attention?:
-Be confident in yourself.
-Talk to him! Don't be shy. You know the guy! Maybe he does like you, maybe he doesn't. You'll never know unless you speak to him. Just gradually, when you see him, go up to him and start a conversation. I'm sure since you guy's were once best friends, it'll be easy to catch up with eachother. This should eventually lead to you telling him how you feel (whenever you want).
-Don't ignore him. Yes, sometimes this does work on guys. But, don't risk it. It doesn't work on ALL guys. If you ignore him, he may consider you unapproachable. Which he may even feel now because so much time has passed since you guy's were really good friends.
-Most important: Be yourself! As I said before, you used to be best friends with him. So, just relax and act normal around him. It's even easier for you since you were actually friends with him in the beginning!
I'm sure you can go back to being friends..but, I think you may have to make the first move with this guy. Get the friendship back first, then when you're ready, go for the relationship!
