I'd say I'm probably between geek and nerd but closer to geek spectrum. In school I hung out with mostly average people. Not so much jocks but they were more into sports than I was and did not care about anything technical and sometimes kind of roll their eyes at my geekness. It's kinda funny though since I'd have my name get called on the intercom, normally that means you're in trouble, but for me it meant somebody somewhere was having trouble with their computer.
I was also always known as the class "hacker". When I was bored I'd tend to make computers do weird stuff, or mess with other people's machines like change their wallpaper.
I'd always get people ask me if I can change their grades.

I was not into doing anything malicious though, it was usually stuff that was fun and games. Though one kid kept bothering me in typing class all the time, I'd usually completely mess up his session to keep him busy for a while. Floppy + batch file. Insert the floppy when he's turned around, win key+E, open A: run batch file, remove floppy. Could usually do that in about 5 seconds. Next thing you know he has a billion solitaires opening and no way to stop it.
Fun times. I don't know why, people were scared of me when it came to computers.
