Let's be honest..In High school, there is never a designated 'popular' girl or boy. No one is ever the absolute center of attention in a school that has hundreds of kids per grade level.

It's such a cliché that in almost every movie, there is that one 'super popular and gorgeous' couple. In reality, people fall in love with different personalities that may stray from the 'norm.' It also goes to show that it isn't unusual for someone to become friends with a variety of personalities.

On a similar note... Is it that hard to make a tale where the 'hottest guy' doesn't fall for the designated 'geek' of the school?

How can said 'hottest person' and 'Geek' be chosen? I would assume that there are countless opinions about who should be nominated... But if there does happen to be a voting day; please clue me in, for I had no insight on this.

I won't deny that there are... Gatherings, if you will, within the walls of every high school. These groups of people are seemingly the perfect fit for each other.

There are the traditional clicks.

We have the theatre kids, the artistic crowd, Metallica bunch, the 'Future valedictorians of America' club, robotics/computer fanatics, the car-crazy, wood/metal shop lovers, and countless others.

Then we have the 'cliques.' This small change in spelling means more than you think. Rather than having a solid interest that brings these individuals together, they thrive by having each other.

Similar to how some people are famous for simply being rich, these students are 'friends' for simply being... 'Friends.'

If you're still confused; have not to fear. I'll fill you in a bit more...

High school cliques always include the 'seemingly perfect' people. These are the 'flawless' individuals. It may not appear so, but they all have different interests! The bubbly brunette that is head-cheerleader has a hidden passion for soccer. That red-head who is known for his ability to seduce women with a single smile? He secretly wants to pursue physical therapy.

Some may think of these people as the 'popular crowd', but as I mentioned earlier, 'popularity' doesn't necessarily exist. It's an imaginary border that we have all grown to believe. It has been pressed into our minds that there are ranks; which is complete bull.

These 'popular' cliques seem to stick together only because of looks, money and ability to play sports...but society should give them a bit more credit. Not all of them are the stuck-up brats that media leads us to believe they are.

Another type of clique that exists is the 'We've been friends since elementary school' percentile of the school.

Maybe I've listed a click, or clique, that you belong to? I promise that I'm not stalking you, nor, do I know you personally.

It's just how we've been taught to live life. We flock to those who share similar interests, or share the similar need to fit in.

I do not fit into any of these categories... Maybe I didn't try hard enough to see what I'm into, or maybe I'm just destined to be like this.

Now that I'm thinking about it... There may be a name for what I am.

I am not a wallflower.

Not necessarily an outcast...but a drifter.

I stand among many who 'drift', but we don't exactly stand together...

Walking through the hallway, we may make eye contact. Possibly a small smile, but we never dare to do more.

Apparently, there isn't any room for another click.

The metaphorical 'sign-up' sheet for life has, sadly, been filled.

So my solution is to drift.

I have friends in theatre, artistic friends, even friends from the 'oh so intimidating' popular clique.

I'm not sure if any of them notice it; but I don't specifically 'belong' anywhere... Which is why I seem to fit in everywhere.

A little confusing... but nothing short from the truth.

I guess I'll be forever stuck as Society's Little Miss. Middle.
