In School, what were you famous for?

Not sure if it counts, but having friends? I don't mean being mr. popular or anything, I didn't have a lot and I was least likely to get picked in any sports or other activities.

But I have a small group of friends I'd hang out with a lot. Go to lunch with them, constantly talk, do group activities with, etc. I mean, I never considered it special since I assumed everyone else had their own cliques, right? But like, then there was a small awards thing our classes did one year, where everyone was voted the best at something, and one of my friends and were voted "best friends." Beyond that, even teachers would point attention to us always following eachother in the halls.

I guess it sorta felt like, while we weren't a big group of friends or the most popular, maybe we were just noticeably together more often? Which is something I think fondly of looking back.
