Well sometimes I might say "Hey" to a girl I don't know very well and I'm wondering wether or not it's awkward. For example I saw this girl named Amanda who's in band during track and said "Hey" to her, she said hey, but I think she might of thought of it as being awkward. Another example is this girl named Orit, who I don't usually talk to, who I said "Hey" to. So what do you guys think of it? Is it awkward? Should I stop doing this?

Not really what I would call as "awkward" but it would be more natural if you used some kind of opener. A reason to actually strike a convo..

An example might be for the band girl... "Hey Amanda... how's it going? So what instrument do you play? Haha wow that's talented... I myself am a musician... I played the flute in sixth grade!"

Just to add to what Vypros said...
Not only is it okay to say "hi" or "hey" and just be social, it's also good (I'd say better) to NOT use canned openers; they're just fake. Unless you make your own opener up (and even then) it'll already be stale by the time you get out there and use it. Just say "hey" and go from there, when you do want to open a girl.

Women usually open after you say hello.
I just go wassup and they're like "hey.......HEY...blah,blah,blah"..
I think they expect people to chit chat with them..

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

it's nto awkward at all, i do it all the time since i started working.
it might be awkward if you're in high school because girls there are kind of in their own little world. but outside of school (even if dealing with high schoolers) it's perfectly normal.
it's all in the way you say your hey
i prefer, hello, hi, or how are you doing.
if i'm in a playful mood i say "nice weather huh?" regardless of how nice the weather is

Yea I don't know how old you are but you think saying hello to people is weird? I live in a small town and everybody waves to everybody else in their cars or on the street, even if they don't know who they are (chances are they do, but I don't). Especially when I started working retail which requires me to approach customers all the time, I find myself saying hi to a lot of random people on the streets or at the mall. I've tried making it a habit of talking to random people because it really helps with your social ability, which helps make approaching women not as difficult, and makes oneself more outgoing in general. So in a closed environment such as a school I'm not seeing how this would be awkward...
