10-->'''Beth:''' I'd hit him with my car if he wouldn't make body casts a fashion statement.
11* ButtMonkey: The girls put him in some really embarrassing situations.
12* TheCasanova: He dated three different girls at the same time.
13* HumiliationConga: The whole movie is basically John going through one humiliating moment after another.

23
24* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: InvokedTrope, where she joins the cheerleader squad in order to get John's attention as part of the scheme.

26* BecomingTheMask: Her main arc. She initially gets involved with John as part of the girls’ revenge scheme against him. However, she starts to actually fall in love with him, thus causing her to reconsider her role in the plan. Lampshaded by her mother and Scott.

34* IntentionalHeartbreaker: In an attempt to get revenge on John, the others convince Kate to break his heart and teach him a lesson. It doesn't go well.

43[[folder:Carrie]]
44->'''Played by:''' Creator/ArielleKebbel
45
46* AcademicAlphaBitch: Carrie seems to be rather popular, acting as a rival to Heather. However, unlike Heather, she’s smart, part of many extracurricular activities and cares a lot about her education.
47* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: she is the head of at least four after-school clubs.
48* GoGetterGirl: Of the AcademicAlphaBitch variation.

51* StudentCouncilPresident: See ExtracurricularEnthusiast.
52* WomanScorned: Her motive to destroy John.

56[[folder:Beth]]
57->'''Played by:''' Creator/SophiaBush
58
59* AmbiguouslyBi: She comments on Kate's mom's hotness and she kisses Kate (albeit for practice).
60* BrainyBrunette: Deeply subverted.
61* ButtMonkey: She still loses her skirt even after she doesn't date John.
62* TheDitz: She means well, but her behavior is usually bordering on the silly.
63* GranolaGirl: She is made of this trope - a militant vegan who gets her yearbook pictures printed on recycled paper. (Sophia Bush is similar in Real Life.)
64* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed, in comparison to Carrie or Heather, but it seems she is pretty mean. While befriending the others, she is revealed to actually be rather kindhearted.
65* ReallyGetsAround: Apparently, it's a vegan teen activist thing. Frequently lampshaded.
66--> '''Carrie:''' Beth is still in the car!
67--> '''Heather:''' Slut in truck! I repeat, slut in truck!
68* SoapBoxSadie:
69-->''(shouts at the basketball game)'' "Kill the Bobcats!" ''(turns back to her vegan friends)''' "Not the real bobcats - they're endangered!"

74[[folder:Heather]]
75->'''Played by:''' Music/{{Ashanti}}
76
77* AlphaBitch: She is the head cheerleader. Downplayed, probably to set up the JerkWithAHeartOfGold CharacterDevelopment.
78** LovableAlphaBitch: Following said CharacterDevelopment.
79* CruelCheerleader: Downplayed. While clearly rude and self-centered, she is far from evil.
80* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Heather becomes this in the climax.
81* ReallyGetsAround: Not as much as Beth, but it's implied.
82-->'''Beth:''' It's not like everyone doesn't know that Little Miss Cheerleader [[{{Shoutout}} brings it on]].
83* SassyBlackWoman: She is all about the attitude.
84* WomanScorned: Her motive to destroy John.

89->'''Played by:''' Creator/PennBadgley
90
91* BirdsOfAFeather: [[spoiler:With Kate.]]
92* TheEveryman: He doesn't have anything special going on for him - especially in comparison to his [[BigManOnCampus brother]].
93* InUniverseNickname: The Other Tucker.
94* TheKlutz: So klutzy, he is a threat to his lab-partner's safety.
95* NiceGuy
96* SiblingYinYang: John's a manly-man jock while Scott's the more sensitive nerdy type.
97* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Very untypical, given his status as a LoveInterest.
98* TheUnfavorite: Implied, because he mentions that his mom told him that he is "special on the inside."
99* WhatTheHellHero: Gives this speech to Kate after realizing that she and the girls have been scheming against his brother.

109* ParentsAsPeople: While Kate's mom is a [[GoodParents good mother]] towards Kate, she still has some flaws. It's shown that Kate's mom's tendency to look for love in the wrong places seems to have a negative effect on Kate regarding her attitude towards certain men.
110* PluckyGirl: No matter how many times she gets her heart broken, she puts herself out there again.
111* ReallyGetsAround: She has enough hookups with enough bums to make a montage out of it.
112* StacysMom: Apparently, she is so hot it stood in Kate's way to make friends. Even Beth comments on her hotness.
