Students

Grade 8/9

Main article: List of Kennet Public 8/9 Class Students

Verona, Lucy and Avery's class. 33 students, ten of whom are in the school's only major clique, the Dancers. The class is split because the rest of Grade 9, which the trio would normally be in, were too large.<ref name=":2">There were no cliques in their class, not like there were in mom’s old movies.  Whatever there had been way back then had seemed to splinter and combine over time.  Other students made their way into the class.  The Dancers were the biggest contingent, but even they had their subdivisions and blurred lines.  They had thirty three students in their

class, and ten were Dancers.  The other class in their grade had 

twelve.  Girls who were super into the gymnastics, dancing, and cheerleading things that were taught at the place down near the bridge. [...] No hard cliques, no specific sections at lunch tables like that one movie from years before Lucy was born, but Avery had had a tough time, and there were reasons for that. For one thing, the class was kind of cut in half, because they were combined grade eights and nines.  For another, when put together with the other grade nine class, they had all known each other since kindergarten.  She could count the kids who had moved away and the

kids who had moved here midway through on the one hand.

unloading.  Lucy watched Sheridan get out, followed by Declan and little

Kerry Kelly.

• Vince<ref name=":6">Vince and Dylan were other guys in their friend group and they were

the guys who stuck to Peyton a lot.  They got kind of hostile and crabby, especially if Gabe was hanging around for more than a couple of days in a row, and especially if Gabe was talking to Peyton a lot.  He’d had his one and only blow-up fight with Peyton after he told her he thought they were toxic, and that she should stop hanging around with them.  He was pretty sure that it had been their idea for Peyton to

go silent for nearly a week after.  It was only after he found a chance
to talk to her without them around that they hadn’t been able to stop 

her from letting him back into the group.

Vince and Dylan had been hard to get along with since.  Ganging up on

him, getting mad at the slightest excuse, and even taking seats next to
Peyton so he couldn’t sit next to her.  It was childish.

Childish and frustrating.  It wasn’t like the guys in his own class really talked to him, and his class was all grade eights and nines; when

the boys in his class rejected him, they talked to other people in 

their grades and shut him out.

[...]

Things hadn’t been the same since Vince and Dylan had stuck their noses in.
