How to make friends with boys in high school and avoid getting teased for wanting to talk to them?

Im 14 and I’m going into my freshman year (had to put at least 18 to sign up but guidelines say over 13.) I know no one at my new school and I want to make a good group of friends, including some guys since my old friends would make fun of me for not getting along with their guy friends (despite them being mean to me) and not having any of my own. I tend to like talking to really smart studious boys but they tend to be pretty introverted (I’m an extrovert) How do I make friends with guys and talk to boys at school without being made fun of?
