I go in and since nobody was there, open the shades and turn the fan on. I was in a good state. Just all chilled and shit. Ready to open.Then this girl came in. She sat down and gave me a glance and a smile. And she did that flip hair over the ear thing.. IOI?
Could be, you should've talked to her. No need to use an opener, you already share the class background, it wouldn't have been awkward. Keep that in mind for the next time

So anyways, I bullshitted the teacher pretty good. He goes into a story telling us how he used to goof around when he was our age and screwed up his exams. (Was that a THREAT? BITCH???)
Whoa mate, chill. Your teacher is most probably right, I had a very similar attitude not long ago (I'm only turning 20). As a matter of fact, most things authorities or your parents tell you are right to some extent.

Anyways, towards the end of class, this weird thing happens. I'm kinda like a initiative machine these days, Taking the initiative, Just pushing myself to do something.
Way to go! Keep it up!
Quote:
A few cold stares and a laugh here or there from the class. I turn towards them and one girl gives me a BIG smile. (Again, is this an IOI?).
The teacher's saying: "Well, are y'all waiting for me to go?"
The class's like "Yeah"
Teacher:"Well, I am not going out straight away 'cause I've got another class in 30"
NB:(In a "You heard the man tone of voice") Come on guys, or do I have to drag all of you out here?(exits room & everybody follows)
I'd appreciate it if you gave me your opinion on that last one...
Don't interpret that too much. I wasn't there, so I cannot tell whether she was smiling at you or laughing at you. If she laughed at you, that's not bad, she'll forget about it within a day or two. If she smiled at you, well done, you put yourself on the spot and earned social proof.

I don't care and I go in and sit down. Class starts and I don't mess around that much because I'm getting sleepy. More Funny talk. Here's a few phrases I remember:
1) "When NB talks, you can hear it from the other side of the room."
2) "You look crazy"
3) *This is more of an action* Ignoring me when I talk.
SO anyways, I finish up physics class. I'm polite and tell everybody their goodbyes.
And on the way to the bus stop, i smile at a cute girl and get a smile back! Nailed it Crackbrained!
Concerning the funny talk: 1) is perfectly cool. I get exactly the same, when I speak, I speak up and the crowd goes silent. Of course, this goes hand in hand with body language. I learned that from presenting at school and uni and from compèring shows. You might want to read up on that stuff, lots of transferable info (or shoot me a message, I can give you a brief summary).
I wouldn't mind 2).
3) is actually quite bad, bud can be solved by learning what I mentioned above.
Oh, and congrats on the bus girl
If you are comfortable with it, make the approach if you get that again. But if you're not, keep it at that. You'll want to push yourself a bit, but not force the entire interaction. Given the fact that she responded to you, you wouldn't have had to put great effort in the approach, just introduce yourself and ask open questions that will get her talking.

Question TimE:
Apart from the questions highlighted in red above,
1-How can I turn the NBCs into the alphas of the class?
2-How can I use my progress so far (mentioned above) to my advantage?
3-How should I deal with the Rajans?
4-How should I progress with the role of class clown?
5-Should I try a different type of game on these girls? (Not the high energy, exciting kind)
6-Should I take his advice and act neutral (non-existent, boring, amoeba-like)?
7-What did I miss?
1: Don't try that. Become alpha yourself, gain the respect of the Rajans, but stay with your group. This conveys a sense of loyalty alongside the alphaness. Plus you'll seem more alpha in a group of betas. Don't just ignore the betaness of your friends, but there's no need to train them (which is your intention, judging from the question).
2: Just keep going, your progress will turn itself into an advantage.
3: Like I said, gain their respect. Don't be submissive though, but seek verbal (!) confrontation. Not in terms of insulting. When they throw something at you, go with their flow and turn around their slur. Practice witty comebacks. I wish I could link you to a site I have in mind, but it's in German. Follow this example: "OMG you're so fat! - It's quite an advantage in the shower, you know, your feet don't get wet."
4: Keep on doing what you do. Being a class clown is cool, I'm that guy in most of my social circles. Humour is an incredibly attractive quality!
5: You shouldn't bend over backwards just to game. See, some people might not seem to be responsive to that exciting kind of game, but having somebody like that around them brings out just that. On the other hand, if she stays unresponsive, forget about her. You're not going to be happy with someone who doesn't respond to your natural personality.
6: Two words: FUCK NO. You might want to refrain from playing with the prof though, that could backfire.
7: Not quite sure if I understand that question. Can you be more specific?
