Haaaaaaaaaaa! Me. Popular. :rotflmao: Man, they hated me in HS. I think it's because they pegged me as a "smart kid"... and I thought, "hey, I like being thought of as a smart kid!" Plus, I didn't want to go out of my way to impress people I thought were sheep anyways. Especially at the HS that I transferred to my soph year. At my old HS, I grew up with most of the popular kids, so, while I didn't hang out with them or anything, we talked every once in a while. But at my new school, they just looked at my clothes, and the fact that I didn't talk much (being painfully shy at that point... now i just have nothing to say ^_^ ), and pegged me as a "smart kid." They hated me... but they left me alone (except for one or two moronic guys... but that's just it. They were moronic) because they at least respected me (whether they would admit it or not). And in the end, I think respect counts more than popularity.
