I went to Gabrielle's party last night. Mostly propelled by the guilt I would experience by not attending, I met Jon at Kelsey's house and followed them over. Upon arrival it was quite obvious that the party was just what I had been expecting and simultaneously dreading: a crowded room filled to the brim with raging hormones and Abercrombie and Fitch, and the occasional greasy pizza here and there. Gabrielle's obnoxious friends populated the majority of the room; throwing ice at each other, rocking the propane heaters back and forth, forming pseudo sex trains on the tables etc. My only and much appreciated solace was to be found at the table in which I sat, accompanying Jon, Kelsey, Chris, and Kevin, and once in a while Gabrielle herself, who made her rounds periodically through the night. While sitting in my chair staring at my plate of pizza submersed in a lake of pepperoni grease and hearing the incessant drone of the excessively loud and immature beings behind me I couldn't stop myself from thinking what made me and my friends different from them. First of all we come from polar opposite groups. As much as the Foothill administration would like to think that cliques are downright nonexistent within the campus, we are in fact a school built on cliques; he who does not belong to a group will miserably fail in the social aspect. Cliques in fact, run so thoroughly rampant throughout school that one can even successfully classify where each group is located. The group that had been annoying us last night tends to flock towards the stage area-where I would guess they have a front row view of ASB and other like activities. The gamers seem to flock near Mrs. Sharif's corner while the jocks can frequently be found beside the media center. The god squad is mostly positioned in the center of the quad, while the punkers have marked their territory at the concrete walkway that bisects the same quad. All in all it seems as if it is nearly impossible to not be classified. Even if you do not consider yourself "Part of a group" you belong to the group who "thinks they have no group."
