<human>: Sophomore year of high school, and I'm really having trouble talking to a girl that I've had a crush on since 9th grade. We've never talked to each other in 9th grade and I'm just so afraid to approach her. 

This year she hangs out a lot with my friends and stuff. But still I haven't talked to her at all. One time she went over to my area with just one other friend but I just got super anxious and shy and I didn't say a thing. 

She talks to my friends a lot, and I always catch myself staring at her. No one has a hint that I like her, and I'm afraid to tell people because my friends make it so obvious. I've never had any kind of relationship before, and I'm just so afraid. I think about her a lot but I have no idea how to approach her without looking to obvious that I like her and looking to creepy and emotionless. We have no classes together
Any advice?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: I have a crush, many mutual friends, I'm very shy and anxious, don't know how to apporach.
