High school was great, had multiple circles of friends in and out of school. I look back on it fondly

2 months into freshman year, myself and 2 others were founding members of what would grow to be our huge main social circle

We came from middle schools that weren't the main middle school that fed students into our high school so we didn't have the luxury of knowing a lot of people by default

I was the metalhead, one friend was the athlete, and the other friend was the goofy class clown. We all loved video games.

We picked a table on campus and that was our table for all 4 years, no one else sat there but our circle

We had people rotate in and out with archetypes like the PC gamer nerd, the self described token black guy, the wannabe gangster, the aspiring pro skater, the gym rat, the future engineer taking courses at college, the anime lover, etc

By junior year, our respective archetypes netted us serious girlfriends at school so group table attendance wasn't as consistent as it was in freshman and sophomore year for the rest of high school but damn sure we still got into trouble together

Myself and the other 2 original members always had this joke that high school was an RPG and we didn't start using skill points until 1 year in as we started to focus on our "respective builds"

i.e. I grew my hair out and fully committed to the metalhead look, my friend started joining school sports teams, and my other friend started smoking pot
