All forgiven, Tiamat!!!
I was never popular at school--I was the anti-thesis of what a girl 'should' be, i.e. much smarter than most (loathe math, tho), didn't spend hours on hair and make-up or clothes (I'm the comfort-before-fashion sort, within reason, as I love to dress up, too), non-cheerleader/sports, didn't kowtow to either the guys or the 'in' crowd's dictates. Funny thing is, didn't bother me much then, doesn't bother me much now ('course, this *was* back in the dinosaur days). And if anything, everyone remembers me for standing on my own feet and not giving in to the peer pressure (so I've been told)! ::shrugs:: go figure.
True friends may be few and far between, but treasure them when they come along. As for girls, you just haven't met one of the 'right' ones yet!
(Wait a few years when those high school atheletes start developing beer bellies and their egos take a major slap! Then you'll have your revenge!
