Stick to the books. Generate interests and talents (read, learn to play an instrument, learn to code, or whatever interests you). If you have specific interests it'll be easier later in life to find people that share those interests. It's hard to have a sense of perspective but high school isn't that big of a deal. It's something everyone goes through and later in life you won't give it much thought if you have interests and goals to pursue.

I was at a bar back in my hometown when I was visiting family recently and I overheard one of the guys in there telling the bartender how he was a big deal back in high school. It took me a minute to realize who he was but when I figured it out I had to laugh. He was definitely with the in crowd in high school but now, 15 years later, he was just another drunk at the local bar. So I have to agree with this comment. Don't put too much weight in the people or status in high school. 4 years goes by quick and you have plenty of time to make much better friends in the future who share your same interests.
