Awkward rut

Exactly! How do you imagine boys and girls went out in the days before Albert Einstein invented the motorcar?
Edit: And as for the dangerous intersection thingie - don't cross the road at that intersection. Cross at a safer (or less busy) intersection that comes before.
I may ask her if she is a member of the country club. Thats really the only place my parents will let me go, and it's on a short, quiet, road with quaint houses and big trees.
However, miles or kilometers, sidewalks or quaint houses, it still doesnt change the fact that we're in an awkward rut.

As for the thing about ye olden tymes, kids didnt live in big cities in homes twelve times the size of the one room schoolhouse.
It's only awkward because you're making it awkward.
Suck it up man. Just tell her. If she shoots you down, so be it. All part of life's little lessons. You'll be more equipped for next time.
Can you get her into the country club? is it that locked down, or can you jump a fence (and suddenly your date starts to sound like that dashboard confessional song).
Ask her to go for a walk or a picnic on the country club grounds.
I'll never understand over protective parents... I'm assuming they must be from what you're saying.
Anyways, you're not going to get anywhere here making excuses for how or why you can't make it happen. Just go out and make it happen! Then come back here and let us all know how it went
Good luck!

Okay, you got me. I'll casually ask her to join me for a coke at the country club on Friday after school. There probably won't be any problems getting her in unless if she pulls out her phone (which would cost me $300.)
I just need to get her to speak to me in person.

I think what the OP wants to know is how to get out of this awkward rut. Here is my advice... Just suck up what know what you want/need to do and talk to her about the way you feel... Let us know how it goes.
No but if you feel something tell her... What is there to lose... Nothing cause the only thing that can happen is it will be awkward and it already is so there is nothing to lose.

That's exactly the point. You're in high school, you've only known her two months. You're interested, you'd like to get to know her better. That doesn't mean you have to propose to her. Not everything has to be verbalized. Tell her you'd like to get to know her better away from school.
Love is all fine and dandy but it ain't gonna get ya nowhere unless you take the caribou by the horns.
If your parents aren't going to let you out of their sight, then you're screwed. What's wrong with the Caribou? Couldn't she meet you there? The country club sounds a little on the serious side to me, unless of course, it's got some casual cafe or something.
Once again, you're not going to get anywhere unless you put yourself forward. From your interpretation of her actions, it sounds like she's receptive. Do something about it before things go south.
I suppose it is, but it's really my only option.
It seems as if things are starting to go south. She isn't responding to my text messages to day, which is abnormal because she always responds within five minutes, but as I said before, so much communication remains unspoken or unwritten, so I'm trying to not make too much of it or jump to conclusions.
She has been talking to this guy from my old school (who goes to my new school). I highly doubt she's interested in him because he's truly hideous and has a whiff of repressed homosexuality in his cologne. However, he is intrinsically evil and academically, personally, and socially destroyed me in every way possible last year to the point of mental breakdown, and I certainly hope her opinions of me aren't being altered by him.
Skip the text messaging. It is a cheap and empty form of communication. Just call her up, start up a casual conversation, and then ask her out.
Huh?
In the country club, if you're caught using a mobile phone, they stick you with a $300 fine.
Don't ask me why.
I'll agree with that, but I'd rather take in-person chat over a phone call. I'm not going to talk to her at all (phone, SMS, carrier pigeon) until Tuesday (we don't have classes tomorrow.) Nobody likes to be hassled.
I am going to ask a question for all the Brits who, like me, are probably wondering what "The Caribou" is... what is it?
As everyone else has said, you need to be a man. You've got balls, use them! There are three ways this can end.
1. You will fall into each others arms and get married.
2. You can regret taking a chance when things don't work out, but you will know that you tried.
3. You can just let things slide and never know what would have happened.
Number one is the ideal but there is a chance of number two if you choose this route. However, number two is definitely preferrable to number 3 in my book.
Good luck anyways!
Caribou Coffee is a coffee shop chain like Starbucks or Caffè Nero. The design is very rustic, sort of like a log cabin you would find near the arctic circle. Its outlets are located mainly in the middle of the US.
If she likes you, you have nothing to worry about.
Calling or sending a text is not stalking (at least not in moderation).
