What kind of drugs? What does ditch mean, cut class? (I'm 2 generations behind.) How bad is bad?
Please keep comments about people's backgrounds to yourself when they are not complimentary, and don't tell people what they would or wouldn't feel. And putting down his looks when you are falling for him, what's with that? When you like someone they are the best looking person in the world, so don't try to cover up by saying otherwise about him and his entire culture.
You are going through what just about everyone in the world goes through when a teen, so try your best and if it falls flat, just know you are not alone. The usual tried-and-true first step is to say hi in halls and classes and outside, as you walk by. Don't rush by and don't pause too long. You can sort of rush by and then turn around and smile, and then turn back and hurry on. You could say something about a certain class 'now that defines boring' or 'I can't believe I have 3 more classes', as you are leaving, without really waiting for an answer. After 3 or 4 of those types of hellos (maybe work on something better than I came up with), you should have a clue about whether he is interested and if he really is looking at you a lot. If he starts saying hi back, you can start asking him about himself (music, etc) and revealing a little about yourself. Bad Boys can be just as insecure underneath when it comes to one on one as anyone, sometimes even more so.
