I can only imagine how people sucked up to her and what kind of a HUGE ego she had. Just a broad generalization from what I observed in high school. It could be different.

Interestingly enough, she wasn't that popular... well known for her looks, yes, but in control of the social scene no.

Yeah..our school had well over 4000 people too, so no one really *dominated* the social scene.
