I graduated high school in 2009. Alpha weirdos were simply not a thing. I was a skater kid who became a pink rocker soon after but was in a placement you either had to be smart enough for or buy your way into and I was the last of the ones who weren't bought in by then end. It was proto bros wall to wall for the most part who were dramatic and gossipy as fuck, so I'd just toss some bullshit in the mix for a gag every once in a while. I didn't like any of them so it was sorta being Bender from breakfast club style bullying. Also the 'jocks' couldn't fight worth shit and all they all bussed in to the schools in bad neighborhoods that these AP things were done in for probably dumb political stats reasons. I lived in these places and hung out with the scary kids that did normal school. By high school I was taking weeks out to tour with punk bands and play bars and shit. It was more not liking anyone I had classes with, being a sarcastic and deceptive little shit and not fearing any retribution cause they'd get felonies committed against them if they did.

It also made me their only weed connect later cause no other white kid was allowed to.
