Vicky Schmidt, a cute Frankenstein monster, is determined to get a public education for her last year of high school. There, she becomes fast friends with a small group of students known as The Outcasts, including Amira, the fiery djinn, Brian, the cool zombie, and Oz, the adorkable manifestation of fear.

* {{Adorkable}}: Almost everyone in the story has shades of this.

* ShipperOnDeck: Damien and Miranda are this for [[spoiler: Brian and Polly.]] After the two of them have a falling out, the two of them aggressively encourage them to kiss and make-up for different reasons. Miranda genuinely thinks that they make a cute couple, Damien supports their relationship because they made parties fun.

** A more minor case with [[spoiler: Brian and Polly]]. While the two of them can get into heated arguments at times, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt almost everyone can see that fighting each other actually turns them on.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still very hotheaded and prone to violence, Damien shows a surprisingly loyal side to him when he angrily calls out [[spoiler: Polly]] for coldly dismissing [[spoiler: Brian's]] affections.

* HomoeroticDream: PlayedForLaughs when Vicky has a Yaoi fantasy of Brian and Scott.

* PlatonicLifePartners: Vicky, Brian, Amira, and Oz.

* FriendsWithBenefits: Deconstructed with Brian and Polly. [[spoiler: While Polly is perfectly happy with this situation, calling Brian her “wingman”, Brian has genuine feelings for Polly and wants to have something more meaningful than just sex. This ends up causing quite a bit of drama later on in the story.]]
