 The good thing about being shy is that no one knows, you don't have a label on you saying "I'm Shy!" It's all on the inside and no one can see what goes on in there. The other good thing is that you're by no means alone feeling like this, most people your age feel shy at times, they just don't show it. You just need to push yourself a little, remember "they" don't know! So set yourself a goal... look for someone in that crowd that you think would be easy to talk to, if they smile at you then smile back then go up and ask them the right time or a question of some kind or just make a comment. Compliment them on something they're wearing or music they're listening to or even the trainers they have on. One step at a time and you'll find you're not that geeky at all, you're normal, just like they are.
Here's a website that might help you some more. Remember only YOU know you're shy, they don't!

 Just go for it. Wait till she isnt around if it is her, and just start talking to them. Small talk. Wait till the subject is on something you know about, and insert your opinion. See what happens, but relax before you go over there.Hope this helps?Dida
