Well I don't know Greg that well, and I'd like to get to know him more without seeming like I'm interested and without annoying him, because he's usually really annoyed by Jackie's friends. Whats the best way of doing this and of getting him to think of me as more than his best friend's younger sister's best friend? Thanks!

To xkimx- I'm 15 and he's either 15 but he'll be 16 soon. I don't know him well. That's my problem. But whenever I've talked to him he's seemed very nice. Sorry about your friends :[
To stina- My friend knows I'm interested in him, not that its a crush though. We've just become really good frineds recently and I don't want her to think I'm using her because I'm not. That movie may work, except "Fred" would take his girlfriend, not Greg probably.
I don't know the brother very well, no.
Thank you both!
Update: He smiled at me in the hall, and everyone loves the YouTube video I have of him.

 Hi Anonymous,
Well the only way that you're going to get past this guy thinking you're another one of the annoying friends is by letting him get to know you. Have you told your friend about your crush? Maybe you all can go out to a movie together or something - this way you guys can talk on the way over, then afterwards talk about the movie and maybe get something to eat, etc.
Or maybe you guys could just hang out at your friend's house while your crush is over. When you see him, say hello and ask how he is, etc. Then you won't seem like you're annoying - just a nice, polite girl. Then he probably won't mind being around you, which in turn could mean spending more time with him and getting to know one another better. Then you guys might be able to exchange numbers.
Do you know the brother? If you feel comfortable, maybe him or your best friend could put in a good word for you. Not necessarily that you like him (because that could be awkward) but that you're not one of the annoying ones and maybe all of you could go out somewhere together, etc.
Take care.
