a2k overview:

a wise-cracking, fun-loving, overbearing, consistently inconsistent group of people held together by three main barkadas that are loosely based on similar dispositions and bound by common experiences shared in the gaps between classes where for the individual, school life really happens.

i.e. one big f*ckin' hell of a mess... but it's a fun mess at that... and it's in this mess that we found ourselves and each other. To those too high to get it, it's called high school.
