i'm a sophomore and we have only had 3 practices. the team is separate from school so i didn't know anyone. but a lot of people joined with friends or people they already know.

i don't know if there are any other sophomores on the team. i know there are a lot of freshmen and some 8th graders and some juniors.

there are these two girls who go to school each other and stick with each other during practice. and one practice i didn't understand what was going on so i asked if i could go run with them. and the next few times i ran with the 2 girls. i have been talking to 1 of them a lot. but the thing is she talks to a lot of other people too.

i want to make friends, but i don't want to be awkward or clingy. there aren't really other people on the team that i feel like i could run with, without it being awkward.

help! those 2 girls are cool but they're already friends and i don't want them to think i'm too clingy or that i'm interrupting them. they talk to other people too

what should i do? should i keep running with them? i like them. but i'm shy and i can get quiet
 
you should talk to them. you have to come out of your recluse. if you start making small talks to them you will slowly become friends with them.
 
So you dont know if there are any sophs on the team huh? When you're running with them just ask one, so what grade are you in.. ect. You need to be able to break the ice. If you play soccer with them, you will need to talk to them anyway on the field. Trust me, coach will make you talk or you're sittin out. You need to talk to them ASAP, longer you wait, the more awkward things will get.
 
no your not clingy at all, in life that's how you meet new people and eventually make new friends, i feel that your on your way to meeting & making new friends, your not as shy as you think, you did manage to talk to those girls, so don't think your shy

to make new friends don't be shy to talk and ask for help, doing that they will acknowledge you so get out there and start talking, look for the things they like and talk about that

hope i helped you and good luck
