Whoah - go you! There are guys much older than you who can't ask a girl out and get accepted.
First I want to reassure you that this is pretty normal for your age. I remember my daughter's year 6 teacher saying something about how at this age, it's all about standing around awkwardly - and the kids agreed!
If you want to make it easier, how about getting to know her better alone? Ask her to come and hang out at the mall (or whatever kids in your age/area do)
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
