I'm a senior in high school. The girl I have a crush on is two years younger than me and I really do not know her. I had a minor crush on her last year and then that faded when I started seeing a girl, that thing ended quickly, in five or so months. I started getting a crush on her again over the summer, when volleyball practice started as she was on the JV team (I was on varsity). Since the girls practiced at a different time than us and their games were opposite from us (we were away when they were home), I never had a chance to talk to her. I see her every few days at school, but she's usually with a friend and such. I believe she's one of the "popular" girls in her grade and I'm the guy equivalent of "popular" in my grade, but she doesn't go to parties or hang out with upperclassmen, so I can't get introduced. I know a club she's in and it's too late to join it since it's like a student government/debate club.

We don't have any classes in common since I'm two years older than her. Her main group of friends is large, and I have this sort of approaching anxiety and just can't approach her (I get nervous even when I'm walking past her). I'm relatively extroverted and good at conversing with people, but not with pretty girls I don't know. I kind of know two of her close friends as they used to ride my bus, but I don't talk to them often. I've largely spent the last summer and the past four months of school focusing on having fun with friends and academics; I wasn't really worrying or caring much about relationships and dating. But now I realize that the end of senior year is approaching quickly and that I'd like to get to know and perhaps date this girl. What should I do, reddit? Thanks a ton, I truly appreciate the help!
