Answer 1

1) To become more outgoing: Find one person that you currently don't know in a class, (when the timing is appropriate) and introduce yourself to that person. You can say something like "Hi, I'm ----. And your name is?" "Nice to meet you". Another time you see this person, in the hallway between classes, say hi to that person. Then, meet another student, etc. Soon you will get to know names and faces to put together. As the opportunity arises with each person, get to know them a little bit. Not the whole life story at once, just ask things like are they from this area? What is their favorite food? Share the same information back about yourself. You make friends by showing yourself to be friendly. Feel free to take it a little bit slow, but not too slow.
2) To keep a conversation going with a person: Find out something about them that they may have a strong feeling about-for instance, the homework level in one class, etc. Or bigger topics. You can ask quesitons, just not really nosy ones that are too personal. When you feel the "lull" in the conversation, either change the topic, or nicely excuse yourself, with something you need to do or take care of. Let the person know you enjoyed talking with him/her.
3) To stay close friends with your other two buddies: Do you share the same lunch period with them? Or at least one of them? Do you already have their phone numbers? If you can't have lunch together, maybe call them to set up a time either after school, or on the weekend to get together with them for a couple of hours, or so. As for this other girl, why not include her, make it the four of you get together after school, or on a weekend? Three may be a crowd, but four is an even number. You may find you like getting together with this other girl sometimes too. Both with your other friends, and maybe just the two of you, go shopping together, etc.
I hope this helps answer your questions/concerns. You will do fine. Take care.

Answer 2

you can be more outgoing by talking to someone you've never talked to everyday. Really! The more you talk to people you don't know the easier it will become. Make up a game and say to yourself today I will talk to 3 people wearing blue today or something like that.
