Do people in highschool carry backpacks or tote bags?

Im going into 9th grade and I have to get a school bag. Do people in high school carry backpacks or tote bags more? I dont want to stick out. If its backpacks, could you please attach the links to some really cute, girly, stylish backpacks? or tote bags (that have enough room for at least 2 books)!! My budget is under $40. Thanks!!!!(:
