The Preps/Preppies in Bullworth Academy.
Characters
Derby is the leader of the Prep clique. Derby is medium sized with blond hair, brown eyes, and prominently black eyebrows. Like all the Preppies, he wears Aquaberry clothing. He's arrogant and snobbish, even by Preppy standards. Obsessed with status and money, he looks down on others and uses wealth to solve problems. Though he lets Bif fight for him, Derby can hold his own in a tough fight when necessary. His father makes a living off of 'HARRINGTON OIL'. Like the other Preps, he dislikes the Greaser clique. (Especially it's leader.)
Bif is the second-in-command of the Prep clique. Bif is a tall Preppie with red hair and green eyes. He wears an Aquaberry sweater vest, with a white shirt Bif Taylor is the Preppies’ boxing champion and Derby Harrington’s bodyguard/right-hand man. He is a tall, wealthy Prep who fights with strong boxing skills, making him one of the toughest free-roam opponents. He takes pride in his title, once had a bullied past, and is less snobbish than some of the other clique members. Bif is suggested to have a slight crush on Derby Harrington, the leader of the Prep's. They're always together, and Bif always backs him up.
Tad Spencer is a wealthy but insecure Prep at Bullworth Academy who hides his “new money” background behind a fake upper-class image and accent. His cruel, abusive father traumatized him through violence toward both Tad and his mother, leaving Tad fearful, emotionally unstable, and desperate for approval. Although arrogant and manipulative around others, he quickly crumbles under pressure, revealing deep insecurity and cowardice. Tad is a short preppy. He has auburn hair styled almost in a pompadour, and brown eyes. He wears the standard Aquaberry sweater vest and tan slacks.
Parker is a medium-sized Preppy. He has distinctive black hair, brown eyes, and wears the standard Preppie Aquaberry sweater vest. Despite being a Preppie, Parker seems to be a relatively decent person, though these traits constantly clash with his snobbery. In spite of these traits, Parker also buys into the elitist mindset of the Preppies and heavily relies on his wealth to solve his problems. His reliance on his family's money extends to his academics, as he admits to paying others to do his coursework. Parker is highly insecure and desperate for validation. He views Derby's opinion as absolute law, and he is similarly inept with girls and relationships, as he desperately wants their companionship but is completely baffled by how it works. Parker likes gnomes. He talks about Jeff, saying how he's his 'only friend.' Gnomey is another 'friend'.

Intro
Derby Harrington leads the clique, and Bif Taylor is his bodyguard and second-in-command. There seems to be no real hierarchy below that level, although Tad Spencer, when Derby isnt around, gives orders to the other Preppies. He has aspirations to take over the clique. (Tad's father also wants him to.)
The Preppies are the third clique in the hierarchy order, above the Nerds and Bullies, but below the Greasers and Jocks.
The Preppies are very well-dressed, and can be identified by their Aquaberry vests—and by their sweaters in winter—and usually parted hair.
Since Derby's father is a frequent donator to the school, Dr. Crabblesnitch, the principal, favors the Preps more than any other clique. Which is also why they get away with things easier than others.
Their main weapon of choice is eggs, and many will drop them if knocked out. Some also occasionally use Cricket Bats. Justin especially likes using eggs. Even occasionally making egg-based jokes during fights or when talking to the other Preps. Justin also wishes they would make an alliance with the Jocks, having the urge to become friends with Jock leader Ted Thompson. (He's crushing on him.) —
Leader and Second-in-command— Derby Harrington and Bif Taylor.
General Members— Tad Spencer Parker Ogilvie Justin Vandervelde Pinky Gauthier Bryce Montrose Chad Morris Gord Vendome.
Their main hangout spot is Harrington House. Harrington House was built for the Preppies' use, and was funded by Mr. Harrington, Derby's father. It's basically a dormitory for the Preps, since they refuse to sleep or go anywhere near the boy's dorms. Chad Morris's pit bull Chester lives in its garden and attacks most non preppies that go near it.
Harrington House has four floors. The first floor is a common room, where two couches reside. There's a door that leads to a spacious kitchen. Tad likes cooking in there. The second is a 'hang-out' area, where a couch, a TV, and a few chairs and tables are. The third floor is where the Preps sleep, all having their own rooms. The top floor is a greenhouse, which houses a rare giant Crapula Maxima venus flytrap.
The Glass Jaw Boxing Club in Old Bullworth Vale is also their territory. Every Prep can box, even Pinky. Though, she doesn't fight unless with other girls. And it has to be with a good reason. Bif is the boxing champion there, with several trophies under his name. He's proud of this title. There's a second floor to the Gym. A bar resides there, along with every prize and trophy any Prep has ever won inside a large, glass display shelf.
