And the I used to be friends with the weirdos before they started getting really weird..
i've had a very similar experience, the main thing is meeting other people when they are out of their usual groups of friends, their cliques if you will
like when they are in a class without any of their friends they will be looking for other people to hang out with, that's where you would come in, this is also why it sucks when you move into school in the middle of the year or something of the sort, after they already made their new friends
probably the most basic thing is be yourself, but also fit in, if they aren't as crazy and hyper as you, tone it down, but if they are just go ahead, but if you ever play around with someone, never do anything that could be considered annoying more than twice, after twice it stops being funny and starts being annoying (example being squirting a friend with your watter-bottle or stealing his paper or something
also, join clubs/sports teams, when you do those things with other people you get something to talk about with them, leading towards friendship, friends don't pop up out of thin air, it's a gradual movement from stranger to acquaintance to friend, and you need to have something to talk to them about to move that along, otherwise you just awkwardly sit there
also, when you're bored during class or something some other people might want not to be bothered during class because it is hard for them or they really need to raise their grade, be considerate of their privacy during school if they want it
