How can I become friends with this guy in my class?

Anonymous

So there's this guy in one of my classes and I always see him alone even outside of class. I haven't made any friends yet, and he seems nice and smart. However, I'm so shy idek what to say or how to start a random convo. I don't really have an "excuse" to talk to him either since my teacher constantly changes the seating plan, and I almost never sit with him. We're in different grades as well so I only see him during that one class.

I don't think we're well acquainted enough for me to talk to him outside of class, but I think he at least has a good impression of me since he came up to me and asked for notes he missed once.
