Long story short, I use chatter way too much, and one of the posts from today resulted in _refugee_ and nowaypablo briefly talking about "popular kids". So I want to know, were you ever one of those kids? What did you think about those people?
For me, I somehow managed to fall into that category in my last two years of high school. Started on a trip to Europe with a bunch of people, most of whom were the "popular kids". Apparently if you spend 10 straight days with them you get assimilated into that. Nothing ever happened that comes close to what pablo brought up with cielo, but then again I'm talking about suburban kids in a depressed city. It was interesting though suddenly getting caught up in the drama of who's dating/fucking who, the sports drama (of which I found myself at the center of some of that...), balancing multiple social lives, and spending some time during that trip breaking onto the roof of a hotel overlooking the English channel, throwing things into the ocean and realizing how incredible it is to be thrusted into that scene.
It wasn't all good, but I guess it's still going here at college? I've ran into people at parties nowadays that somehow know me though I've never met them. Again, it took about a year and a half but it's a ride. A lot of the "popular kids" are good people, but yeah, a lot of them are pretty bad people that do entitled, close-minded things.
