Hidden Heart of Gold: Implied with Alec. He comes across as gruff and a "bad boy", but underneath is compassionate, wise, and a surrogate big brother to Adele.

Spoiled Sweet: Fala Jean. Fala, who is mentioned to have a very big allowance, live in a mansion, have perfect clothes... and she's as sweet as can be. Even Delilah admits it. She has her ditzy moments, but is otherwise quite intelligent.

Lovable Alpha Bitch: Hannah, who Adele admits is "not that bad". Actually, the only thing that even slightly signals that Hannah may be a Alpha Bitch is the fact that she's best friends with The Rival, Sophia. Needless to say, Hannah is much Closer to Earth.

Brilliant, but Lazy

comment
Brilliant, but Lazy: Delilah. She has no care for things that aren't video games, could probably apply herself better in school, and is rarely shown doing any type of work. And yet she's clever, a Deadpan Snarker, and appears to be the smartest out of all of them.

Character Development

comment
Character Development: Delilah starts as straight up bitch and popular mean girl but she gets slowly less bitchy, though she's a Deadpan Snarker throughout. Adele. She gradually becomes more confident in herself and her abilities, and develops something of a wry sense of humor. In fact, Adele as the narrator becomes gradually more snarky as time goes on.

She Is Not My Girlfriend: He isn't my Boyfriend. Adele and Patrick have to say this. A lot. Naturally, no one believes them, especially not Brooke who wants them to be together.

Trademark Favorite Food: Patrick loves frosted strawberry Pop Tarts. In every lunchroom scene, if Patrick's in there, it's guaranteed that he'll be eating a frosted strawberry Pop Tart (and will usually offer half to Adele... and only Adele).
