"Imagine a school where the cool kids are the chess team"

[Cleita]

20. Sounds like my high school class

group of friends. We had the highest grades and ran all the clubs. A couple were even cheerleaders, who cheered for the boys' high school athletic teams, but that's not why they were part of our crowd. We didn't know we were the cool kids though until years later at a reunion when one of our teachers called our group, the "in" crowd of our class. Of course, it was an all girl's school which might have had something to do with it.

I never knew what the mean girls, cheerleader, clique was all about until I went to college and got indoctrinated into the ways of what was considered the cool kids then and still now, I guess. Frankly, I didn't care and I did join the chess club to meet kids who were like me.
