New school, terrible at making friends, bullies?

I just moved to this new place and it's my freshman year in high school. I'm usually very shy when I'm not around my friends. Therefore, it is extremely hard for me to make really good friends. It's been about 5 weeks into school and I still don't have friends that I would want to invite over to my house yet. I know it takes time and whatnot, but I don't even ever feel like doing anything with these people that I hang out with in school after school. It all kinda feels like a lie to me, all of these fakey-school-friendships I mean. Plus there is this upper-classmen and her friends that called me a poser one day (which didn't make me feel bad) and today they tried to throw stuff at me ( that made me feel terrible), it totally tuined my day. I tried to tell one of my school friends about it and she just cut me off with some story she wanted to tell and none of the people I told about it seemed genuinely interested like my friends back in my old county would have. I had the worst day today, I missed having friends so much, and I'm a generally peaceful person so I don't want to fight that bully or anything I just want her to stop being so mean to me. Also, I really want some good friends. I know making best friends takes time, but I don't know how to be talkative and keep people interested. I'm usually a very interesing person I'm just very quiet and uncomfortable and unhappy when I'm in a new place with a bully and no friends...wouldn't you be? I just need some help on how to make good friends that will last long, because if I had someone to turn to when I had an awful day at school then the bullies wouldn't bother me.
