Adele Becker thought that her life was fine. Until her parents decided to send her to boarding school.

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Alec is Adele's main source of help for getting through her first year of middle school.

'''Delilah:''' ''(climbs onto table)'' HEY! PEOPLE! ADELE HAS SOMETHING SHE WANTS TO SAY! SO SHUT UP AND LISTEN! }}
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Lyn. Luckily, she's... less than intelligent. Inverted with Brooke, who's probably the nicest character in the book. Subverted with Fala, who, despite being Delilah's rival for Alec, is very kind, even to younger students, while most girls as popular as her would consider kids in lower grades beneath her. Delilah briefly sees her as this, though {{spoiler|when she and Alec begin to date}}.
