hey there.
let me edumacate you on the kenyan school status quo.
like any other high school there are groups or as some like to say
"clicks".
they are as follows.

THE "IN" PEOPLE.
these are the in people that are good looking, rich or just plain cool.
they have a lot of "friends" and not so many real ones.
they are athletic and good at a lot of things.
sometimes they're smart.
sometimes they're not.
but people don't care because you don't have to be smart to be popular.

THE NERDS AND GEEKS.
yes, the lisping, braces-wearing, pocket-protected, accident prone, bully-magnetic, four-eyed freaks of nature that don't have lives.
i'm not a fan of bullying or making fun of them but that's high school.
and that's what they're called.
they're usually the quiet one in class.
the one's who talk about dungeons an dragons
and
"my level198 Snoggwoton will totally kick your level147 Fonwizzle's butt at the CardBattle on Saturday!"
and
"the center of the telekinetic pull times the sum of the hypotenuse of the square root of opposite element in parallel with the physiological segment in which a....."
yea.
you know yourselves.

THE LONERS.
the people that sit alone at lunch time talk to no one and have no known friends.
these are the loners.
they are never talkative and hardly say anything.
they aren't bullies.
but they aren't victims either.
they mind their own business.

THE BULLIES.
quite self-explanatory.
they live to make other kid's lives as painful as possible.
'nuf said.

THE OTHER PEOPLE.
these are the people that have the qualities of some of the other groups.
but they don't fit into one perfectly.
like me.
most of the qualities i have are in the IN group.
but only because
i'm athletic and good at things
and i have a lot of friends.
some of them are fake.
and by fake don't mean i made them up.
but i can't really count on all of them to be there for me.
like the ones i have in America.

i don't fit into the IN group.
but i'm glad.
even though i'm not so rich or so good looking.

but hey, that's life.
gives you all the things you need, some of the things you want.
leaving you wanting more and wishing you needed less.

later.
