When I was in high school, I didnt much care for preps... thought they were so cool, and the only people who liked preps were other preps.
I was a nerd myself ^_^ Still am and very proud.
Well, think of this as a great opportunity to see what people are really like. If the "preps" won't talk to you because of your ankle... do you really want to be friends with them? If youre in pain, and all they can think of is how it looks, then forget them.
Besides, be positive about it... make good conversation while youre sitting down... and your foot doesn't matter while you sit. If you have a cast, ask people to sign it; say it'll help you learn their names. Maybe if youre cute, some nice preppy guy will hold the door for you or offer to carry your books... I dont like the idea but you might.
Also... I think karma applies here too. What kind of prep were you at your old school; if you were a nice one, then you shouldnt have too much to worry about. But if you were like the those girls in that movie... the Plastics I believe, then you're screwed and I don't pity you at all.
I'm just being honest here.

You are way too concerned about image. You have a broken ankle, there's nothing you can do about it.
You need to chill. Do you want people to like you for what you are, or for people to like you because you have (or don't have) a broken ankle?
Just have a positive attitude about your ankle, don't make a big deal about it, and you will fit in to whatever crowd you fit in to.
But I can tell you that most people won't appreciate that you feel you *have* to fit into a PREPPY crowd...

Don`t worry darling. Just be yourself and focus on your studies. You are too much concern about your apperance. Aren`t you? Your friends won`t mind how you look just act normally and comfortable. You have to feel comfortable of yourself then you`ll be able to focus on your studies.
Good Luck

Ankle injury is not a new discovery
on earth.
