The 8 Rules To Being a Populette
As Observed By an Outsider
1. Clothes – Clothes are everything. Absolutely everything. Us normal people simply look, “No way does this purple top match with these lime green pants.” Populettes say, “The lace on this cover shirt doesn’t match the lace on my cami.” As we can see, there is much of a difference.
2. Attitude – You need to have the perfect attitude to be a Populette. You need to be known when you walk down the hall way. People already know to move out of the way when you walk by. You need to make sure this is clear to every single freshman in Highview.
3. Grades – Nobody cares about your grades. As long as you’re not flunking classes. You can’t be caught in summer school, only bad students who are stupid go to summer school. You are far too amazing to be spending your summer anywhere near a school anyways.
4. Activities – Populettes do not join the chess team. They do the important sports. Football, Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse, Cheerleading. These are essential. You must represent Highview High School.
5. After School – You do not go straight home after school. Ever. You bring friends home with you, or you go with them. There is no in between. Of course, going to Starbucks or Caribou after school is perfectly fine too.
6. Social Status – You must have at least 10 senior friends (If you are not already a senior) every single year. If you are a sophomore, then you must have at least 20 junior friends. Keep your relationships up people! Nobody will mess with you if you hang out with the upperclassmen.
7. Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend – You can not date a geek. This will not cut it. Your boo must be a Populette just like you. Social statuses stick together.
Girls Only:
8. Make up – Your make up must be PERFECT. If there is so much as an uneven spot of skin, you aren’t good enough. Your lipstick must be the perfect shade. Your lip gloss had better be glossy! Your eye shadow had better be spread out!
Guys Only:
8. Strength – If you can not lift a 140 pound girl in your arms, you had better get some upper body strength. No girl will want to date you if you can’t pick her up.
If you follow these rules, there’s a chance you might make a Populette. Who doesn’t want to be a Populette? They’re beautiful, everybody envies them, and heck, they’re perfect!
These are observed by a person just like you. A normal non-Populette.
