Socially, I tend to attract the "weird" kids at school -- why?

You just gave me a good laugh because I felt the same way you do. Outside of school I considered myself popular but in school I was like a freak magnet. Still to this day I don't really have an explanation for it but I've came to a conclusion. I think they tried to talk to me because I was too nice to look at them like they were a freak and too nice to say mean things to them, like the popular people would. The popular crowd are also very intinidating people to try to talk to, maybe you just look like a nice person?
