You need to be yourself.
Do NOT throw yourself at him too much, or make it seem like you are too interested in chasing after him to even bother for him to become friends with you, you don't want a guy to think that.
Secondly,
Just start a casual conversation.
Get his number.
Facebook him.
Get to know him.
Wait a while, and when you have become good friends, then ease yourself into letting him know that you like him.
But do not rush things in too fast.
If you don't think it's worth the wait, then he's not worth your time.

As for how you should approach him, just relax and be yourself. Do not follow any flirting tips you found in some magazine. Do not play games. Do not dress provocatively. Do not play hard to get. Following tips you find in magazines or sticking to concepts you've seen in movies will only screw you over. You shouldn't have to manipulate a guy to get him to like you. And there is no right or wrong way to approach someone.
Just be yourself and treat him the same way you would a friend.
As for some fun things you could do together, here are some ideas:
1. If he goes to your cousin's basketball games, sit with him! This is the perfect chance to spend time together.
2. Ask him if he would like to see a movie. Everybody likes movies :)
3. Go out for coffee, hot chocolate, or some other kind of drink.
4. Invite him over to your house.
5. Ask him to spend Valentine's Day with you.
In other words, please do not waste your time contemplating how you will approach him. Just do it and then turn your attention to actually getting to know him. That is what real relationships are about. They are about knowing somebody, spending time with them, etc. They are not about luring somebody in, saying things in exactly the right way or trying to be seductive/attractive.
Just get in there :)

This could be beneficial to you, actually, if you choose to spend Valentine's Day with this guy. I have an article dedicated to Valentine's Day that you might like to read. Moreover, I would love to read your feedback and ideas on the holiday :)
