Exchange student from Germany?

So there's this really cute foreign exchange student that goes to my school and he's from Germany. I believe he's in 10th grade I'm in 9th but we're the same age. Well I only get to see him at lunch and I rarely ever get to see him in the hallways. I want to talk to him but not when he's with a big group of people. After lunch he goes straight to his class and I don't want to talk to him just for a few seconds. Also my best friend Kaliska also thinks he's really cute and is going for him. She talked to him already and told me I shouldn't try because I wouldn't have a chance. ( I know it's mean and we're fighting :p) but I'm not sure what to do. Kaliska made it way worse she tells the whole band (I'm not in it but she is) that I like him and that I'm in love with people I don't even know !!! It's really annoying but that's a whole other problem with it's self. Also I'm not the most beautiful thing around either. But how can I get his attention?! I was going to talk to him at the football game but I only seen him once and he was with my sisters friends and I didn't want to be over there with them. I can talk to him at the homecoming game but I wanted to do it before then. (I'll include pictures at the bottom.) But the only reason why I think he's really cute is he's different from all the other guys at school. He's short about 5'5 (I'm 5'4) and he has curlyish hair, brown eyes and he has an accent which I think is adorable ! he doesn't dress like any of the other guys either. All the guys at school wear hollister yet he wears sweaters and polo's it's really cute. Sorry it was long but I just need to know what to do !
