She might be just as shy as you, so unless you ask her questions, it'll be a very quiet time!
I'd imagine that after 5 years in the same class she knows you pretty well, as much as you probably know her, so trying to be someone you aren't will just seem false to her. Chances are, she's already aware of you and that you like her, so you're halfway there already.
Smile at her and ask if she's like to chat with you; ask how she feels about a school assignment, could you get together to discuss various ideas?
Do you share an interest in music? You might have tickets for a concert that she might like to attend; how about doing some assignment research together at the library.
Your meetings don't have to revolve around schoolwork, shopping for your Mum's birthday present or Easter egg will do just as well. Don't
worry if you can't think of something to say all the time, a friendly silence can be good.
Hope this helps, let me know how you get on?
Best wishes X.

I would like you to try because you cant just be thinking about it just do it. Its better to do something rather than end up not knowing!. [ venesaw10's advice column | Ask venesaw10 A Question ]

If you have any classes with her, a project where you work as partners or in a group would be a good opportunity to get her to notice you. Simply ask if she wants to work as your partner.
If that isn't possible simply try to look for an opportunity to talk to her in a friendly context. If you notice she is wearing a cool looking outfit, piece of jewelry, or other accessory tell her. If she ever does anything special with her hair tell her that it looks nice. It's a friendly gesture that doesn't necessarily give away too much about your feelings and leave you vulnerable. It will let her know that you notice her and girls love that kind of thing. Pretty soon you will stand out in her eyes and be noticed.
After you get to know her a little better you can start to be more open about your feelings and let her know that you'd like to spend more time with her. If she agrees, give it a little time and then tell her how you really feel. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't. I guarantee it. It will haunt you to dream about what could have been. At least if you try and fail, you know it wasn't meant to be. [ numbquil's advice column | Ask numbquil A Question ]

Girls aren't gonna be the ones to talk first. You know how guys have to hold doors open and let ladies go first, things like that? Well this is the same thing. I don't find it at all weird for a guy to come up and say hi, neither does any other girl. Trust me, you'll be fine. This guy last year that had a major crush on me said hi to me everyday so eventually we just started talking one day and now we are best friends. We went out for a while but he moved away. I wish you good luck! [ gotchalk8's advice column | Ask gotchalk8 A Question ]
