The recurring characters I've come up with:
 * Brock Highland - Two years older than Johnny and Sherman but in their class. Sherman's afraid of him because he's so big and is known for being a bully. Secretly he's a softie at heart, and wants to become a veterinarian. Johnny and Sherman help him study so he can finally graduate.
 * Karl(/Kyle?) McSnapston - Karl "Snappy" McSnapston is one of Brock's followers, but he's actually been manipulating Brock and is the real "mean" behind their group. Brock tries to hide that he's been studdying from Karl.
 * Maria Dominique Elaine Bellaire - Maria Dominique Elaine Bellaire is a French exchange student who goes to Em's school. Maria's mother wants Em to teach her American customs, which doesn't go overly well (since Em needs as much teaching as she does). Although she ends up learning American customs from Alex, she still develops a close friendship with Em.
