Characters:
Riley—Our vivacious protagonist, bubbly, perpetually cheery, naively innocent, honest, always trying to be a "good person," and takes the world at face value. For instance, if a stranger in a van said he had candy, she'd jump right in, because oh who ever would lie about such a thing, right? Her father is also her social studies teacher. Her best friend and counterpart is the "bad seed" Maya. Also friends with the nerd extraordinaire Farkle and currently crushing on the tall, dark, handsome designated cool guy, Lucas.
Disadvantaged Girl Maya–Riley's loyal BFF and rambunctious sidekick, the alpha bitch of the show, bossing students, teachers, and friends alike around with her stern attitude. She can give as good as she gets. She's mad for forever because she doesn't have a dad and likes to blame every setback on her parents and give up on even the slightest challenge because of it. She's the kind of girl who is likely to be the first in her grade to lose her virginity. A wild child and "bad seed," she is also crushing on designated cool guy Lucas, though this seems to cause her no conflict with Riley.
Mr. Matthews—Riley's dad and seemingly the teacher of everyone on the show. He is still early in his teaching career so he doesn't realize school is mostly bullshit and that his lessons don't get through to 99.99% of his students. Teaches very freestyle and pardons the many in-class disruptions caused by Maya and the others. He always tries to redeem people and teach a lesson, and since this is TV, it works out, although in reality he'd be met with almost continual disappointment.
Farkle—Farkle is a "friend" of Riley and Maya, he is the kind of person who overachieves at school work and is quite smart, yet is mostly clueless in real life when it comes to social interaction and dealing with people. He's abnormally short, sports a goofy coconut-halve shaped haircut, and has an annoying voice. Everyone's favorite punching bag! Even passive characters get their digs in. Has simultaneous crushes on Riley and Maya, he likes their abuse.
Lucas—The effortlessly cool, devilishly handsome, basketball playing, designated school cool guy. A tall dark, handsome stranger. Actually has good manners instead of being an obnoxious douchebag. A fish out of water, being a country boy living in a big city.
Note: Due to the adult language and situations present in this fan fiction, everyone will be a 16-year-old high schooler (except the adults obviously) instead of a middle schooler as they are on the show.
