I'm a junior in highschool and there's this boy in my history class. He sits two seats to my right and there's another kid that sits between us. Is there a way I can start a conversation without it being weird or awkward? I don't really know him, but I would like to.. any ideas??

I'm in grade 11, I know exactly what you are thinking!
The other answers were right too, talking to the boy next to both you and him might make him join in too! Give him a few smiles here and there too! Try talking to him before and after classes, and maybe sometimes even walking to his locker with him (if you have lockers at your school). Sometimes joining in for class discussions can help to, I always hated doing this, but it has helped me a few times. He will notice how smart you are and he might even want to strike up a conversation with you! :) Sometimes I even think about it so much I just gain the nerve up in a split second, if you ever gain confidence for a second do it, don't hesitate you won't regret it! :)Hope this helped a little bit!

I think talking to the kid next to you would help. He'll notice you more since you guys talk and maybe join in. But also talking about the class while entering or leaving could help.
It's good to just talk, that's how you make friends. So I think when you're leaving, you should try to make small talk with him. Talking to him while going into class might be weird if you're waiting to get there at the same time as him. So it's easier to just talk when you guys are leaving the classroom.

Thus, you just need to make a small effort in talking to him to break the ice, and then you two will become more acquainted with one another and I'm sure will become fast friends. I would try to talk to him as you are entering class, or leaving class and mention something about what you're learning -- this class is already something you have in common.
This will not only give you an excuse to talk to him while you're in class, but will also allow you two to become more familiar with each other and it will be so much easier to have other conversations.

Talk to the kid who sits in between you two about anything. ANYTHING--
Even more devious, talk about something you know this boy is interested in. Maybe he'll join in the conversation. And hey, you may make friends with the other kid too~
There is no reason not to talk to anyone. Keep doing it and eventually you'll be in there with in-jokes and history banter.
Then there's no reason you cant talk to him outside class either.
