It's a new school year for me, my last one honestly, I am a senior. I used to be a newcomer and have some newcomer classes where I had many friends, yet slowing my schedule been changing until the point where now I do not have any of my friends in the "regular" or American classes, during the first week it's been feeling lonely, me trying to connect with other students as they don't really show interest in being friends or anything. I even had made one closer "known mostly" friend who tried to introduce me to her American friend group but there was someone I didn't get along there and made the situation uncomfortable that I decided to go back to my other Latinos friends, but now I don't share any classes with them and I have some classes with those old friend group I didn't feel comfortable at first but it's being hard and they even reject me (ex. Me and 2 girls seated together in our 5th period, when everything seemed to be going well, we were starting to get close suddenly they moved to another table and left me all alone, literally just me at the table...)
And yes, I've tried making other classmates friends, but it feels like we talk in small conversations but never truly keep one.
Also yes, I do see my group friend of Latinos during lunch and we hang out once in a long time lol, but during class I feel I have no one to even ask for help when I need because I feel other classmates aren't really going to help (ex 2. on a class I was choosing different seats and see where I felt more comfortable with the people I thought we could be friends, but some students just ignored whatever I was saying about how to solve the classwork since it was a team project)

By your senior year in high school, most of your peers have already separated into clicks. You're an outsider wanting to be welcomed. How welcoming were you to strangers in your past school? You're comparing what you had to what you have now, which makes it even more obvious to you.
You say you did make one friend, and she introduced you to her friends, but you didn't get along with one of the group members. Ask yourself whether you didn't get along because of a trait of the individual in the group or your own insecurities. Do you put up with differences in others, or do you confront them? Ask your new friend what you tend to do that might make it hard for people to want to be with you. How receptive are you of people who are different from you? Many groups allow you to hang around, as long as your behaviors don't cause them discomfort or draw negative attention to the group. Focus on how you can improve rather than what you believe others should do, as you'll never be able to control anyone other than yourself.
Its early in the school year give it some time and you will have plenty of friends
