@chai2,
Seriously though....because of being in middle school girl mode, she's probably having a hard time in either finding stuff to say, or how to say it.
Unfortunately, just like boys, she's concerned if you like her or not (while you're wondering if she likes you or not). Both of you are afraid to show feelings to each other. She's trying to figure out what you like, and has been led to believe boys like girls who are all silly and cute and say lol a lot.
Like others have said, you need to do some face time with her. Buy an extra soda and go to her and ask her if she'd like it. She'll be thrilled and will be telling all her friends how "HE BOUGHT ME A SODA!!! lol"
