[header] How to be friends with the people around you [title] Start with the people around your locker. [step] These are the people who will be right next to you throughout the whole year, so even if you don't have any classes together, you'll still be able to talk. Start off with a simple' hi'. 
If you say this every time between classes/every time you're at your locker, the other person will become accustomed to you and it may lead to further conversation. After a few days, skip saying' hi' and see if they greet you first.
