Bourne Identity

I come from a small town in West Virginia and most of the high schools consolidated the year before I attended them.  In combining two junior high's we had over 5,000 students.  I'm not to sure how many students are in schools in the city's but to me it was an enormous amount.  I am bi-racial and the town I went to school in had all white teenagers from the country.  Even though I'm bi-racial, everyone considered me to be strictly African American.  Everyday of my high school career, I was known as the (pardon my language) "nigger."  I was the only one out of 5,000 students who was of different nationalities.  I wasn't really affiliated with any groups because of these small minded idiots.  95% of these small minded degenerates were considered "Rednecks" who wore Rebel flags, cowboy boots, and spit chewing tobacco all over the school.  There were the "jocks" which I could consider myself as, but just because I played sports.  I didn't hang out with those guys either because they were just immature and their brains lacked the capacity to hold conversations.  There were the "nerds and geeks."  Kids even used the term "whiggers" to identify white kids who tried to act black or act like they were part of a hip hop/rap culture.  Then there were the "freaks" which I got along with the most.  The "freaks" at my high school were the ones who made the highest grades, were the nicest people if you gave them a chance, and the first ones to have your back when something went down.  I still have those same friends today.  The school building was very large and spaced out so everyone had their own particular hallways that were supposedly owned by whoever claimed it.  The cafeteria was the same way also.  The lines to get food were even separated.  After school, in the parking lot, was were you could definitely notice how the groups formed by their individual identities.  The "rednecks" congregated around their monster trucks, the "nerds and geeks" ran to their cars to get away from everything, the "jocks" usually went to practice, and the "freaks" casually chilled in the parking lot and smoked.  This is where most of the fights took place between each group.  Mostly between the "rednecks" and the "freaks."  Usually you can find people in schools that don't really fit or want to fit in with any of these groups, but in my high school, if you weren't in a group you might as well be prepared to defend yourself at all times.  Of course, I didn't fit or want to fit in so I spent most of my time defending myself as an individual.  Even the principals office always thought that I should be the bigger person and walk away, but when 4,999 students push you to the limits, then I don't know what else to do but fight back.
