Friendly, but not perfect. The lines aren't strict, they said, and students don't have to fit into any one of them. There is also a band clique, a scholarly clique, groups known for computer wizardry and vocal talents. The religious clique gets along with everyone. Little cliques abound.
Some people hang out with their friends from junior high.
The Partiers are a diverse clique, they said, and draw from all subgroups. There's even an internal divider between those who drink and those who don't. Each grade has a clique. Each clique has leaders and followers. True to human nature, students said, the cliques can be kind and they can be cruel.
