I was always in the "edgy" groups... those groups that openly defied the preps, normal kids, challenged teachers and society as a whole, skateboarded and played in garage bands, etc... Your standard misled rebellious teenager in the '90s sort of thing. But fortunately we were always the majority, and our groups, although often gangly and not physically imposing in any way, were bolstered with sheer numbers, and even the jocks didn't fuck with us. I think the biggest worries during those years were simply whether you'd be accepted in your group or not, and trying to lose your virginity.

I was in a clique similar to that....but your group seems more like the skaters. My freshmen year, I sat with the jocks during lunch and then chilled with the skaters later on in the day and played hacky sack. I was the token black kid chilling with the skaters. In my Sophmore to Senior years, I just chilled with a group of other loner types that didn't fit into any of the other stereotypical groups.
