How to not be scared to talk to a friend that I haven't talk to in a while, also how should I go about it?

OK one day me & I guess used to be friend was talking about a social networking site like Facebook then he asked are we friends and I said no because I thought he was talking about Facebook still but he was talking about in actual life:/ so he stopped talking to me and I left it alone because in all honesty I was kinda new to the school and I didn't know him all to well. its been probably about a year now we walk past each other, talk to people around each other, look at each other, SEAT right next to each other but we never ever say hi

But now I really really want to make a friendship with him and talk to him but I know it will be really really awkward!

So I guess im asking for ways to make it less awkward, like what should I say, jump in a conversation with him and his friends, act really dumb/funny help

Also ways for me not to get nervous when im getting ready to talk to him, I tried to talk to him for like 2 weeks now but always stop myself because im scared or nervous?
Thanks

HI!
If you guys used to be friends, it shouldn't be awkward at all! I know how you feel, you think it's going to be awkward, but it's actually not! I promise you guys will have something to talk about! Just pretend like it's one of your facebook chats, it didn't get awkward on there did it? Talk about the same stuff you guys said on facebook! Or, you can go up to him and be like " Hey, remember that day/night on facebook where you asked are you my friend? I said no because I thought you were talking about are we friend's on facebook, and we weren't and I said no. That's why I said that." Then after you say something like that, see how he replies. I'm sure after you explain, you guys will be freinds again! Don't stress it hun!! Good luck!! I'm sure everything will be fine!!
