Neither do we. Our popular kids are popular because they possess useless, high school socialization skills, not because they can throw a ball. And all the public schools I've been to have been too big to have any kind of centralized, cool people clique. There were just people who were popular, people who weren't, and people who got by, without any fanfare about the divisions.

But nerds were still persona non grata.

Some might just be genuinely nice guys.
There were a few of those ridiculously good looking, fit people, very successful in sports and their studies, who I thought were kinda fake, hollow and vapid, until I had a good, long talk and/or smoked a good, fat bowl with them.
You'd be surpsied how self-aware and often troubled they can be.
Not that there's not a fair share of total douches among the extremely popular.

A I said "almost" I swore people don't read what I wrote about anything I say, but only to point out grammar or spelling mistakes. Yeah I was bit of an ace with math and physics and I built a jet pack and went over his house.

I was always in between - one or two best friends and got along ok with everyone. Overall sports kids were more popular in my school and I was born without the sports gene. I did try through, I joined the football team in year 8 (here 'football' means 'Australian rules football' - a pretty bizarre sport). I think I caught the ball by accident once but wasn't sure what to do with it. By late high school there were lots of other music nerds so things were good.

I stapled a kid's hand in 6th grade. Was pretty cool.

If it wasn't on purpose you're just a dork playing with a stapler.
