Reconnecting with Old Middle School Friends?

Back in Middle School I had a lot of friends. My middle school was pretty small so everyone pretty much had classes with each other and in most cases were friends with each other. By the time I reached High School a lot of my middle school friends disappeared: some went to magnet schools, others had band, art, athletics, etc. , and most just lost contact with me. As for myself, I was too busy with APs and ECs. I really regret not staying with my friends. I’m a junior in HS right now and although I do have friends I speak with every once and a while none of the friendships I have are as tight knit as the ones back in Middle School. I haven’t spoken or hung out with my two best friends since Middle School, even though we go to the same school. I really miss them and I want to hang out with them again, but I don’t know how to go about doing that. It would be a bit weird to just walk up to them out of the blue and just say “Hey, I haven’t spoken to you in 4-5 years, want to hang out?”

Any Advice?
