Here's what I'd do ,mate, just tell the lass that you liked talking to her in class and you'd like to talk outside of school, thats an excuse to get her number and email address etc. Then just ask her if she would like to talk while you are having tea or something. Maybe get one of your best mates to ask around if she likes you. You seem like you'd have a better chance than most lads our age, just go for it. Good Luck!
