Are you kidding? We totally would have been in the same posse and eaten lunch at The Loser Bench together. (I say this not because you are a loser but because the bench by the computer lab and the handicapped elevator at which my friends and I ate lunch was actively referred to by others as "The Loser Bench" and was often stolen by the water polo team. We were really cool though, just nobody knew it.)
See... I hid in the theatre with my friends to avoid 95% of the sports teams. You would have been most welcome to join us there. But yes, I'm quite sure I would have fit in well at this "Loser Bench" you speak of. My awesomeness has long been underappreciated.

You wouldn't believe some of the shit I pulled off in high school. For a senior AP Literature project I wrote a biography of the major Beat writers in the form of a fifty-page free verse poem, half of which I proceeded to read aloud in front of the class with a Miles Davis CD on the AV system whilst Alukh played bongo drums in the background. It was fucking awesome. I made my English teachers weep with joy, but I think the only reason I didn't get the tar beaten out of me daily was on account of I'm a girl, and even then I was cutting it seriously close.
Oh dear. If you had gone to my high school my diary would likely have been filled with terribly gushy entries about stuff like that.
And you would have probably beaten me up in the parking lot.

Your school had water polo?
Sorry, this amazed me. Continue with the thread.
Not only did we have water polo, but it was hell of sharp and inarguably the best team our school had to offer. From what I remember our football team pretty much sucked, as it was comprised mostly of water polo players who needed something to do during fall season. They were all gigantic jerks like football players, although Steve Baranowski bizarrely and memorably hit on me in my senior yearbook.

I can almost gaurantee my high school's volleyball team could out-asshole your water polo team.

In conclusion, I suspect that 'awaitment' is probably not considered a word, Dictionary Girl. Go look at your Dictionary, Girl.
How many thousands of people have said that to you?
IN WAIT OF, okay Smarty Pants? 
And actually, no one. Congratulations!
Firstly:
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
Secondly:
In triplicate no less!

Oh nooooo, Theatre! I'm sure your drama kids were better, but the ones at all of my high schools were unbearable. I kept trying to get into drama because I love to act, but I just never could manage to fit in with the rest of the devastatingly cliquey group. I also couldn't dance, so that kind of sealed the deal for sticking with visual arts all four years.
(However, I don't think Loser Bench was any one thing in particular, besides giant dorks with a side of emo.)

I was in band. I played the clarinet very badly. I also hung out with the choir kids (who were largely band kids as well). I only did one theatre related thing in my entire time in high school. I didn't get really into it until college.

Yeah... that sounds like me.

I don't know, man. The team captain's father was a Navy admiral, and his father was a Navy admiral before him. The kid himself went to the Naval Academy after graduation. He was a formidable debate opponent in AP Government, I tell ya what.

Ooh... you may have me beat. The volleyball team were your run of the mill jock assholes cranked up several notches by having extremely rich parents in a small town (and rumors of a nasty drug habit...)
However, they couldn't have debated the jarred pigs in bio class.

Ahh, see our theatre was commandeered by the drama kids. I don't know where the hell the band kids ate lunch. Our band was kind of pathetic and no one dared actively admit to being in it. Not just for the dork level, but because our band sucked.

You had jarred pigs? 
We only dissected squids, from which we made tasty fried calamari on Ms. Tenenbaum's hot plate at the end of class. Mmm!

Our band was actually pretty good. And it also contained some of the drama kids. The rest were stuck up popular brats who wouldn't be caught dead eating in the same room with someone like... I dunno... me.
Welcome home.
It's so nice to be loved.

Actually, I suppose that's not entirely true. We had quite a few jarred animals. The fetal pigs were kept in buckets of formaldehyde. We got to disect them as an after school extra credit kind of thing. I stayed behind to do it and (with some help from my best friend and now roommate) traumatised most of my classmates.
