I would appreciate help.

This girl in my 2nd block class caught my eye instantly. We were in a 1st block class together last year. She seems like she has such a kind personality. And she is just… gorgeous. We say hi every now and then. She is always with her friends, I don't want to interrupt them, plus some anxiety. I'm thinking I should become friends with her. And partial friends with her friends. (Better word is an acquaintance) Mostly so i can hang out with them and it wont be awkward. But I'm not really sure how to approach this. I don't get chances to talk to her. I don't she even likes me back. But I'm keeping my hopes up.

TL:DR – I like this girl I don't talk to much, and I want to become friends with her and her friends.
