Trevor Scott- Matt's best friend since grade school and the keyboard player and lead vocalist of the band. He works for his dad as a mechanic.
Starla Baxter- Part of the popular clique in high school. She's a cheerleader, dating Trevor and the band's female vocalist and bassist. She also works with Shelley.
Tabby Blackwell- The youngest of the band and the lead guitarist. She is also a cheerleader and only lived in Teal Cove a year now. Like Starla and Shelley, she's a part-time carhop. She seems to be hiding something going on at home...
Marie Evans- The captain of the cheerleaders. She is abusive with her power and relentless in keeping the first-year members in their place. She has it out for Shelley and hellbent on making Starla and Tabby ditch their dorky friends and band if they want to be on her squad.
Felicia Jackson- She graduated from high school last year and is in with the cheerleaders since she was on the team. Felicia is an intern at the local paper and has already gotten off on the wrong foot with Shelley.
Doreen Rogers- Marie's best friend and fellow senior cheerleader. Doreen wants to fit in and will follow Marie in order to stay on top. She's on to her crap, however, and sees through Marie's manipulative lies even if she won't speak up.
Pete Savage- Marie's boyfriend and the star linebacker on the Varsity Football team.
Karen North- The cheerleading coach at Teal Cove High. She turns a blind eye to the abuse of the senior girls. She would let them get away with murder. Karen also teaches aerobics at a local gym in the summer and Shelley is working towards taking the class over for her once Karen returns to teaching in the fall.
Jerry Hardy- A college-bound freshman from the wrong end of town. Jerry comes from relatively new money and is desperate to win the approval of the popular crowd from his former rival high school. Marie is using him to figure out Tabby and Starla are doing with their dorky friends. Jerry believes he'll be set up with Doreen once he delivers the goods.
