Just out of curiosity.. what's your definition of messed up?
But to be honest, usually talking does suffice, regardless of what it seems, consistency is just the main factor in that. You just have to make a regular thing with people you want to get to know better, and sometimes you have to be the one that takes the extra step and become friends with them outside of school as well. Just asking them to a random movie or even a school funded event could be enough to touch off a really nice friendship. Anyways, that's how I really see things.
