Cliques.
…Think about it. I mean, really, really think about it.
Does it really sound like it could destroy your world? Tear apart every thing you thought you knew, everything that was how it was supposed to be, everything right, and flip your world to a complete 180?
Such an innocent word did exactly that for us. “Who are you?” you may ask? Well, we’re your peers. We’re your fellow students. You see us every day, but at the same time, you’ve never seen us in your life. Now you’re asking me “How the hell can I see you every day and yet never see you?” Simple, my dear ignorant, clique-obsessed classmates. You see us, you see us standing in your way, blocking your locker or in your spot in Calculus, but you never actually see the real us. The us that would be brave enough to post what we know from what we see, for the entire rest of the student body to know.
How do we know so much? Having a social status of zero, or maybe even negative one, gives us the advantage of being able to be anywhere in plain sight and pretty much be invisible. We see and hear things that you wish you were privileged to hear, simply because we’re overlooked because no one thinks we have the backbone to do anything with the information we’re about to overhear… Then again, other times we actually eavesdrop, sneak, and hack. But either way, no matter what we do, the spotlight is always on someone else, and never on us, for simple reasons: We’re the outsiders, the overlooked, the oppressed; the outcasts.

Eight teenage students from Courtsworth High School in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, have finally had enough of how divided their school is, and of how much gossip is going through the halls. So, to get back at the populars, the athletes, and sometimes even people they thought of as friends, they’ve decided to set up their own blog, designed especially to get into the minds of their peers in a way they could never do by talking to them. Trashing fellow students, spreading the latest gossip that even the gossipers didn’t know yet, and spreading the message that gossip is bad simply by showing how damaging it can be, the outcasts have an interesting year ahead of them.
Now if they can just continue to keep their identities a secret from the rest of the student body…
