This is probably a generalisation. Most schools usually have the most attractive people be the most popular and go together. You were probably one of the fortunate ones.

Yea, I actually liked that a lot about the film. Though both couldve easily been the popular types, they both shed away from that and went together. Kirsten Dunst said she was tired of those type of roles and wanted to do something different to which the director had seen her in a selfdestrutive role in the Virgin Suicides and thought she could be good in more of those type of roles. Lucky for us.

Great point. totally agree. She was attractive without the popular cliches. and he was a football player without the jock-type cliches in the film.
