The following is a list of secondary characters in The Clique series by Lisi Harrison. Many of these characters only appear in one or two of the novels.
Olivia Ryan
Olivia Ryan is a very frequently reoccurring character in the series. She acts as an alternative best friend to Alicia Rivera, meaning that she is Alicia’s friend, but is not a member of the Pretty Committee. She is described as having "buttery blond" hair, navy eyes and a "ski slope" nose, which she obtained from plastic surgery. She is first mentioned in Best Friends for Never but not explained in detail until Revenge of the Wannabes where she and Alicia attempt to start their own clique with two other girls, Strawberry {Coral McAdams} and Kori Gedman. After "Revenge Of The Wannabes" Massie Block compromises with Alicia and allows her to keep Olivia as a friend, but will not let Olivia into the Pretty Committee. She has dialogue in the books 4-8, and she is mentioned as Duh-livia in It's Not Easy Being Mean and her name comes up twice in Sealed with a Diss. The next book that she plays a semi-major role in is Bratfest at Tiffany's when she begins dating Cam Fisher, Claire Lyons's ex-boyfriend. She is later dumped by him when she leaves their Health class baby in her locker and Claire finds it. Cam found Claire soothing the baby and later dumped Olivia for her. Olivia has an older brother named Andy who shows Derrick, Cam, Chris, Josh, and Kemp his skate ramp over the summer. Olivia is currently best friends with Strawberry and Kori. They met during summer school and became BFFs. The three watch the boys skate board at her house during the summer and school.
Cam Fisher
Cam appears in many of the Clique books, most notably The Pretty Committee Strikes Back and Bratfest at Tiffany's. He is Claire Lyons's on/off boyfriend and most of the plots he is featured prominently in revolve around his and Claire's relationship. Cam is described as having one blue eye and one green eye with long black hair, but later on it is said that he has golden brown hair. Massie had a crush on Cam throughout the second and third book, but stopped 'crushing' on him when it was revealed that he liked Claire. In the beginning of their relationship, Cam and Claire exchanged e-mails, and he gives Claire bags of candy hearts, gummies or CDs through her younger brother, Todd. But after Nina Callas, Alicia's cousin, moves to Westchester, their relationship turns sour. When Cam avoids her for weeks, Claire, thinking that he does not like her anymore, kisses Josh Hotz. Cam eventually forgives her, but the two remain on rocky ground for the rest of the novels. At the end of "Bratfest at Tiffany's" Cam breaks up with his then-girlfriend, Olivia Ryan, and asks Claire to forgive him. It is unknown if Claire will take him back or not.
Derrick Harrington
More often referred to as "Derrington" throughout the novels, Derrick appears prominently in The Pretty Committee Strikes Back, Sealed with a Diss and Revenge of the Wannabes. Derrick acts as a dramatic foil for Massie Block, starting out as her crush, then her boyfriend and, eventually, her ex-boyfriend. Derrick seems to be the only boy that Massie gets nervous around. He is written as having long blonde hair and large brown eyes. He plays goalie for the Briarwood soccer team. He is noted as having many quirks, including wearing shorts all the time, even in winter, wiggling and flashing his butt after scoring a goal and referring to most people, even Massie, by their last names. Massie and Derrick's relationship is foreshadowed in the third book, but it is fully revealed in the fourth one. After Nina Callas convinces Massie that Derrick likes her (Nina) and not Massie, Massie ignores him. After Nina is thrown out of OCD, Massie and Derrick talk and they make up. Massie gives Derrick her "M" brooch, which he continues to wear well into the fifth book. In "The Pretty Committee Strikes Back" Massie, through a series of lies to the other girls she is "tutoring" to kiss, unintentionally leads Derrick to believe that she has been seeing someone else. He confronts her and she apologizes. They kiss and make up once again and it seems as if their relationship is good and well. However, he breaks up with Massie in book 8, because he has an "issue" with her. He later tells her he's into older girls because they're more "mature". In the ninth book, Derrick changes his style, (i.e.: wearing jeans for the first time) but Massie becomes interested in someone new...........
Josh Hotz
Josh makes his first Clique appearance in book 4, during Nina Callas’s Welcome To Westchester party. Alicia sees him as a potential crush and begins to gather information on him. She learns that he is not an exchange student from the fictional Hotchkiss Academy as the principal told everyone, but, rather, he was expelled after pulling a fire alarm before a major test. He is on the soccer team, as many of the Pretty Committee’s crushes are and is described to be a preppy Ralph Lauren lover and enjoys gossip, like Alicia, with dark hair and thick eyelashes. He has olive skin and licorice-red lips. He remains relatively unseen in Invasion of the Boy Snatchers, only appear three times in the entire book, but he is feature more prominently in Bratfest at Tiffany's. At the end of Invasion of the Boy Snatchers Claire Lyons kisses him in front of her then-boyfriend Cam Fisher. He is lead to believe that Claire genuinely likes him and seems somewhat hurt when Claire gets back together with Cam. In Dial L For Loser, Josh shows that he likes Alicia back by giving her daisies. Little is seen of him in It's Not Easy Being Mean and he reappears at the end of Sealed with a Diss after attending Skye Hamilton’s Famous Couples party with Alicia as Ralph and Ricky Lauren.

Kemp Hurley
Kemp only appears in two novels, “Invasion of the Boy Snatchers” and “Sealed With A Diss”. In “Invasion of the Boy Snatchers” he attends the Love Struck Dance with Kristen Gregory.

He attends Briarwood Academy and plays the tuba in the school marching band.
Tiny Nathan
Nathan is Todd’s best friend, who usually appears when he does. He is described as having 'mouse like features' and hardly ever speaking. He and Todd are often manipulated by various members of the Pretty Committee, but are often rewarded with kisses, so they usually don’t complain.
Nurse Adele
Nurse Adele appears in the first novel, The Clique and the fourth novel, “Invasion Of The Boy Snatchers”. Although not as important to other girls in OCD, Nurse Adele provides comfort and hope for Claire when she needs it. Claire first meets Nurse Adele when Alicia puts a streak of red paint on Claire's pants to make it look like Claire had started her period during class. Nurse Adele allows Claire to take clothes from the Lost And Found because she knows that none of the other girls will want their “last season” clothes back.

In addition to stealing her sisters’ clothes, Nina manages to steal a number of other items around the school, including Alicia’s Ralph Lauren argyle socks, a girl’s pencil case, and a teacher’s expensive MontBlanc red pen. Since most of the items are trivial and not worth much money, it is assumed that Nina suffers from kleptomania. In the end of “Invasion Of The Boy Snatchers, Alicia, Claire and Massie discover Nina’s stolen goods and they mortify her at the Love Struck dance by not only announcing that she was the person stealing from the students, but also releasing a number on embarresing photos of her.

Claire is chosen as Hadley's replacement, and she co-stars with Abby in the movie, Dial L for Loser. She has a bad girl reputation and is secretly dating Conner Foley. She and Claire become very good friends and appear in Us Weekly together.

Dempsey Solomon
A former LBR and a nonsoccer guy. He is a friend of Layne's. When he was an LBR, he was called "Humpty Dempsey" by Massie Block because he was chubby. Over the summer, he and his parents went to Africa to help rebuild houses and stuff, which is how he became a HART. Massie crushes on him in Book 9, despite the rules of her (own) "boyfest". Dempsey is described as muscular, caramel blonde, somewhat tall, funny, nice, green-eyed, and deeply tanned.

Strawberry McAdams, whose real name is Coral, has bright red hair, shops at the store Strawberry, and turns pink when she gets angry. All of these are the (speculated) reasons why people call her Strawberry.
