We probably all knew a few assholes like that in high school... At least those of us that went to middle-large public high schools. Mine sucked. We had a bunch of "cliques" and it was fuckin' ridiculous.
There were 'the jocks' and 'the preps'. They hung out together in their letterman jackets and talked about sex and sports.
Then there were the 'choir kids' and 'theatre geeks' that basically formed the nerd group. (You could throw some honor students in there too.)
Then there were 'the dirties'. This clique was basically any goths, vamps, darksiders, heavy drug users, metalheads or punk rockers.
Then there was the snowboarder/skateboarder crew that I would probably categorize myself in if I had to. Somehow, the snowbaord crew sorta transcended the cliques without much trouble. The Preppies & Jocks hated the Dirties and they'd fight all the time. The snowboarders were pretty much able to move freely throughout the different cliques and able to get along pretty well with everyone. The nerds pretty much kept to themselves and did homework or whatever it is they do... Practice singing maybe, I don't know.
High school popularity cliques are a really stupid thing. I never saw the point in limiting myself to 1 particular group of friends.
