Ok, so semi-long story... bear with me

Met this HB8 in my bio lab class, it was a class on a friday before a week off so nobody showed up so we ended up pairing up, alot of goofing off ensued for the whole class, we ended up talking and having a laugh.

after the class i was heading to my locker and said goodbye and had mentioned that I was gunna hop on the bus, she offered me a ride home so I accepted.

after that I didnt see her for 2 weeks (1 week off then lab on the friday), we grouped up again, goofed off a bit more, talked and had some fun, we had an upcoming exam so she asked me if I wanted to meet up with her on monday and study with her. Found out she was in my lecture too, We ended up hanging out for like 5 hours that day (usually I would never spend that long on a girl without making some sore of a move, but in this case the time just flew by, we turned the smallest things into hour long conversations) all in all it went really good.

the next day I saw her (wednesday in lecture) I asked her if she wanted to go out on the weekend, she accepted and we made plans for bowling.

on the day of she called me saying her mom got called into work and that she had to drive her brother to his soccer game which was in the north end of the city, so hour drive there, hour and a half game, hour drive back, plus she had to stop in at her brothers house on the way back. AKA the night was shot for her, I told her it was no big deal and we could just reschedule it.

saw her again on monday and tried bringing up the rescheduling and she just danced around it saying "oh well I dont know, Im waiting for a call from this place I put a resume in at and they may want to have me start right away, I dont wanna make plans then have to break them." I suggested that we just set a time and if it gets broken again oh well we can try again, she again danced around it.

since then she has seemed pretty distant and distracted.

where do I go from here? can I turn this around?

Note* as a side note, I am good friends with a friend of hers (we talk all the time, shes a female) she said she would try to talk to her and see whats up, play a little spy action for me, still waiting on response.

It sounds like you're acting more needy as time goes by. The moment she told you she couldn't make it cuz she was waiting for that resume, you should've been cool with it and continued right after with some good conversation. From the information you've given, it sounds like she has lost attraction due to that neediness and the way to go is to act like you're the source of fun and good emotions and if anyone wants to join in, that's cool. Don't call her up to set something up again unless she does, because then you'd act REALLY needy. Your situation isn't that bad so turning it around shouldn't be that hard. When you see her again, chat her up and make sure you sexually flirt with her, but make sure she isn't the focus of your attention. Good luck!

thanks stunt, yeah, since the monday I have stopped even mentioning going out, I just chat her up in class mostly then go about my business.

the major concern I have right now, is she tends to prefer male friends to female friends because she finds other girls too catty. If I put things off for too long I have a VERY high chance of landing in the friend zone with this one.

then dont let it get to that. next time you talk to her, mention that you are going to have a blast during the weekend. however, do not invite her. dont even hint at inviting her!! this way she'll be like: "damn, he's a cool guy. he's gonna go have fun...but didn't even invite me. what give?"

keep doing that and she'll eventually wanna hang out. dont be needy like me

That's why you sexually flirt with her. I recommend reading one of the threads Chief wrote: sexual-attraction-explained-in-depth-vt ... highlight=
Make sure your intent is understood and that you are teasing her, throwing those sexual innuendos, qualifying her, roleplaying, etc. What CaptRow said would be good in certain situations, but in yours, she might not even care or think you aren't interested and you will further plummet into friend zone. Update us on how it goes dude and have fun!
