Help?! I like the weird kid:/?

Hey y’all!!! Im Tina and I have a STORY!! Ok so...i like this kid, his name is parker and he’s really cute hehe...my friend has a class with him and every time I ask about him, she tells me stories about stuff he does, and she finds it weird but I find it hilarious hehe..my friend says she can’t see us together and I’m WAY out of his league but I think I’m just fine for him ^_^. I don’t have any classes with him, but He’s in the rotc room during lunch? How should I initiate a friendship? I really like him but EVERYBODY says I’m out of his league:/ which I don’t think of myself as out of anybody’s league:(. He’s talented, outgoing and funny hehe
