1''My Classmates Are Different'' is a novel by [[Tropers/{{fdiaperhead}} Kat S.]]. It is, however, still a work in progress, and is expected to be done at around March 2017.
2
3The story revolves around high school freshman Janice Lee and her classmates Chris Arbuckle and Lester Lane. Jan is a straight-A student, one-time national spelling bee champion, math whiz, concert pianist and all-around perfect student. She is also popular and a favorite among her classmates, though she is rather introverted and would rather study and practice the piano than hang out with her friends. So it was a shock to her friends that Jan would help the two losers in class.

5!! ''My Classmates Are Different'' provides examples of the following tropes:
6* AcademicAlphaBitch: Jan, along with [[GirlPosse her group of friends]] at the beginning of the book.
7** LovableAlphaBitch: However, Jan was the only one in her initial group of friends who didn't care about popularity enough to avoid Chris and Lester.
8* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: There are several, especially Chris.
9* EducationMama: Jan's parents.
10* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Well, 3/4ths of it, anyway. Jan's Phlegmatic, Chris's Melancholic and Lester's Choleric.
11* FreudianTrio: Jan (Ego), Lester (Id) and Chris (Superego).
12* AFriendInNeed: Jan tries to be this towards everyone she knows.
13* HollywoodAutism: The author, being autistic, tries to avert this with Chris.
14* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Chris and Jan become this to Lester as he grew to them.
15* NoHuggingNoKissing: There is little to no romance in this novel. Instead, it focuses on the friendship between the members of the trio.
16* ThePowerOfFriendship: What this book is about.
17* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. Lester did time in therapy in middle school due to [[NoodleIncident a certain incident that he won't mention]], and he was forced to see a therapist ''again'' after his parents heard that he assaulted a sophomore.
18* TokenTrio: The trio of friends consists of Jan (Asian female), Chris (white female) and Lester (black male).
19* WrongGenreSavvy: One of Jan's friends believed that this is a typical romance setting and objected against Jan dating either Chris or Lester.

22!! Janice Lee
23* AcademicAlphaBitch: Strives to be the best at school.
24* TheAce: Jan is good at ''everything'', at least for a high school student.
25* AllLovingHero: Jan, who believes that everyone has good inside and never bullies those below her in the PopularityFoodChain.

28* BerserkButton: Losing his friends, whether to death or to other people.
29* GeekPhysiques: Lester's as thin as a rail.

32* RevengeBeforeReason: one of his {{Fatal Flaw}}s.
33* TroubledButCute
