What I meant was that I've already skipped to that part in my head.

Ahhh. I understand.

We really only have just begun but I least want to be friends if nothing else. I just hope that I can date her and that I have more luck in that department. I don't have any other way to contact her besides school.

Rest assured, such things always feel a bit awkward in the beginning. Still, you share the common ground of school and writing which means you'll have the opportunity to spend time together. Talking is a good way of exploring other areas of common interest -- you could always ask her about her favorite music, movies, activities, etc. Feel free to ask her questions to get the conversation started but don't hesitate to share information about yourself either, so that she can also get to know you a little better.
