Education/Cliques

## Cliques

**Cliques** are groups of students who share a common interest, but unlike clubs, cliques do not take weekly hours of time. However, cliques require a certain level of popularity to join and characters can be rejected from joining a clique. Some require as much as possible while some strive for little. Characters can ask to join a clique or be asked. Being rejected from a clique will lower happiness by 30%. A character may only be in one clique but asking to join a clique while already in one, will not get you rejected for that reason. Some Challenges require joining cliques.
