Teen girl help, please

[Olyguy96]

I know this really overdone, but I need girl advice. Sorry this is so long. Okay, so I'm in 8th grade this year. I'm what you would call a feminine guy (I'm called gay by the jerks, although I'm not) and almost all of my friends are girls. I only have a few close guy friends. I'm also a straight A student and known as kind of nerdy. It's been this way for as long as I can remember, and because of this almost every girl I know sees me as a sensitive guy friend who'll help with homework - that's it.
But I've liked one of my friends for a while. She's known as a slut - even teachers think it. But when I'm with her she's really nice and fun to be around with - not slutty at all.
And all of her past boyfriends were all jocks and "macho" guys. Plus, I'm a little overweight -although I'm trying to lose weight and gain muscle- , I hate sports and I'm in the school plays. She likes to be in the plays (although prefers volleyball) and her dad is even a director. I don't think she sees me as boyfriend material, but for some reason I still have hope.
Also, my closer (girl) friends don't like her at all because they think she's a slut, and that's theyr'e only reason. She's nice to them when they (rarely) talk to eachother. I really want to ask her out. Any suggestions? Please help.

P.S. She is trying to change this year and be a "good girl".

And your question is? Your not going to get any answers if you don't ask questions.

he's asking for advice..

..Well you should see her as who she is and get to know her for who she is.
..Other peoples "opinions" are there all the time..see if their right or their just makin it up.

as for askin her out.. make sure its really something you want to do.. if you have the confidence, it wont be that hard to ask her out..

and as of what people think of you.. Prove em wrong !
they just think your like this and like that cuz you're different.. ;)
Friendship is a good place to start you know.. without friendship, I dont think any relationship could last. *in my opinion.

so she is very special to you, why not telling her that?
