Here's the deal. I'm starting to become less shy and as talkative and outgoing as I can. I've been hanging out with these guys in my trade school course and we're friendly with each other. I chat with them, played sports with them (though I'm pretty bad at it, compared to them) a few times, and...even smoked up with them once (only took 1 hit, was confused cuz I never smoked before, but they showed me the way...) and they are cool with me and can tell that I'm changing compared to how I was at the beginning of the course.
There's 3 and a half days left before the summer vacation and I wanna be as outgoing as I possibly can so maybe they can invite me to hang out and do somethin with them over the break, anything like the cinema, parties, BBQs, bars, etc. I'd really like to go see The Amazing Spider-Man which comes out next week and I'm too nervous to bring up hanging out because, well, I'm think it's because I'm scared of rejection and then things are gonna feel weird when we see each other in school. Is there a way to make them invite me somewhere? Like maybe bring up the summer break and see where it goes?
Another thing, I won a free amusement park ticket at work. The boss had 4 tickets and my name was pulled out the hat with all the names. I don't want this to go to waste. I'd like to go since I won the free ticket and it would be fun to go with one of them. How do I bring this up?
I think some people in the class can tell that I don't really have any other friends outside of school by some of the looks they've given me (not dirty looks). Do you guys have any advice?
To be afraid of asking a simple question to others just because you think you'll get rejected is absolutely stupid. If you want something bad enough, you have to step outside your comfort zone and make it happen.
Build some confidence and realize that you're on the right track.

Just ask one of them. "Hey, I have some free tickets to an amusement park. Do you want to go next Saturday? Or how about sometime in July?"
Also, be sure to have their cellphone numbers & email addresses so you can call them and follow-up. Don't be discouraged if the first time or two doesn't work out. Even good friends have trouble finding times to get together.
Be honest with them, "I really enjoyed spending time with you during breaks, let's get together sometime this summer.". This may work best one on one but don't let the time slip away it that doesn't work out (if you only see them together). You will regret it.

Yeah...your changing all right.....
...changing into a drug addict like them.
If you never smoked before, and weren't exactly looking to start, then why tempt fate by doing it just so you can hang out with the cool kids?
It just ain't worth it.
Your better off alone.
Well since the course is ending, say something like, "hey, we gotta stay in touch on Facebook."
It's pretty normal for guys to hear that from someone. I don't think they would say no.
Then that's your avenue for doing something with them later in the summer.
