All in all, by my Freshman year in high school, I was doing alright on the "Who's Who" spectrum. No one really messed with me, or tried to, and doing so was mostly fruitless anyway since I always had friends around anyway. The few people who wanted to pick a fight with me were too cowardly to do so in the light of public. I wasn't dumb enough to step off on to the side roads and settle anything with anyone...I honestly had no real beef with anyone who wanted to pick a fight with me...much less even knew who they were. o.O
I didn't hate high school. I don't hate it now. I'm glad it's over and yes, I thought it was tedious.
