So OT, at school were you the person with tons of friends in every hallway who everyone loved, or the kid who walked alone in the halls to every class?

I was kind of a floater. I didn't really have a clique, I just floated from group to group. I wasn't popular, but i had friends.
I probably shouldn't be answering this question because I'm still in high school but I do have something to say about my popularity. In middle school all I wanted was to be popular, I had one friend before eighth grade and he moved away in fifth grade so I didn't have any friends for a while, during that period I ended up getting mixed in with the popular group basicly by being a bit of a jerk. I wasn't a bully but I made inappropriate comments on everything and now that I think of it they were all stupid but the popular group laughed and so I kept doing it.
The whole reason how I got into the popular group was when popular girls noticed how lonely and pathetic I looked sitting all alone at a lunch table, I was a bit of a lunch room nomad, I would sit at a table, maybe move to another, people would change tables and leave me alone. Kids would come to me and ask me why I was sitting alone and I either explained why or expressed my feelings of them just being annoying because I thought they were trying to taunt me or some thing by giving them an annoyed look. Then some girls sat by me and they asked me why I was all alone and they let me sit at their table. I came to lunch to hang out with them with a Thermous lunch box in sixth grade and it's incredibly embarassing now when I think about it, I also wore really stupid shirts so I didn't visually mix well.
Right now in high school I am a bit less psudo-social, I talk to people sometimes and make jokes sometimes and I have some friends but they aren't close. What matters is that people actually notice me and don't treat me like the ground the stand on every day.
I dont know if i would call myself popular although damn near everyone in my grade knows who i am,i only hang with my group of friends.
In Primary School (Elementary School) I was fairly popular, in Year 7-8 in Highschool I was that weird kid. However stuff improved Year 9 onwards.
From grades 6-8 I was, but then during the last weeks of elementary school, I got humbled, and was knocked down more than couple of notches.
I'm less social now I'd say, but I get along with everyone and everyone gets along with me. I like where I am, I prefer not going nuts and trying all the crazy stuff most kids are doing these days. I prefer my down time.
Are there really "popular" kids anymore?...
At my school, there were no "popular" kids per se... there were different groups and such, but the idea that one was more popular than the other is not correct...
I hung out with several groups, namely the music nerds(not the band nerds), the athletes and the party/drinking/drug kids... and they were all connected more or less, especially the party kids, since they knew where to get the "stuff"...
In Primary school i was very popular and sorta the puppet master of alot of the "leaders" i held alot of power when i wanted to.
In Highschool i got along with alot of people and by yr 10 i was pretty much the unofficial leader of my group of friends (15-20 people) mainly because i wasnt a jerk or much of a bully and i didnt take crap from no one but at the same time i wouldnt fight some1 unless i needed to.
I stayed in the same trend until graduaton and are still friends with alot of the people i went to high school with.
This is pretty much me, except in university, I am a a mix of both now. I am a funny, awesome person, but I am still a relative loner as I prefer to keep to myself most of the time. However, I will go out and having fun with friends once in a while.Middleschool- Funny, Awesome, Popular kid.
High school - Depressed, Boring, Loner kid.
i hope things get better in college. :|

Elementary: I was popular; I got along with pretty much everyone.
Middle school: Quite the opposite here. Didn't have too many friends, and I mostly got picked on. Hated my middle school years.
High School: In 9th and 10th grade, it was pretty much neutral. I wasn't picked on or an outcast, but I had a group of friends. 11th & 12th, however, I was really popular. I got along with everyone in my classes, and I would always gets invited to parties and etc.
