Get her number and just say hey to start the conversation. If she responds, keep talking.
When she texts you back, don't take forever to respond.[1] She will jump to conclusions that she is annoying you and that you hate her, and that you don't like her right away. Some will anyway. Not all, so don't assume so.Advertisement
If she texts you first, Don't take to long to respond but don't respond right away that will make you seem needy. Take a minute or two then respond
Use lots of emojis.[2] It makes girls feel like you actually care about what they are saying and have similar feelings.
Try not to respond with just one word answers like "cool", "haha", or "lol"; it just shows that you don't care what they have just said, even if you really do.[3] Try responding with a question about what she just said to keep the conversation going.
If it gets to the point where you are just saying "soooooo" then it might be better to ask a simple question like "how was your day?" or ask how her practice was. It shows you care and it keeps the conversation going, and shows her that you want to continue talking.
Use her name when you are talking about something serious, or saying good night.
Tell a funny story about what happened to you that day. She will love to hear it and will probably have something to tell you in return.
Be random and funny. You don't have to act all cool all the time. But don't be so random that you freak her out.
DO NOT gossip with her about other girls. Even if she starts it, try to get around it. It may sounds clichéd, but gossip is kind of messed up. You don't want to risk saying something that insults her or one of her friends.
Find things in common.[4] Talk about your siblings or family. Talk about things you like or dislike, etc.
FaceTime or Skype every now and then, if you wish.
If you ever have to go say, "Hey, I gotta go.... Or "I'll brb I have to....." Never leave her hanging.[5]
If it's nighttime, tell her "Goodnight" (don't forget to use her name).
Be patient. If she doesn't respond, just wait. She's probably busy with something.

Clinical PsychologistDo not give in to your urges or impulses. Consider the “why” behind the need, the desire, the craving, or the urge to text. Why now? Why are you feeling an urge or an impulse to text? One of the best ways to fight such an urge is to find something else to focus on. Do not combat this impulse or craving. Reengage in finding something else to occupy your mind, thoughts, and perceptions.
