Wes Matthews

"What exactly will beating me up prove Jared? Do you think by doing this everyone will give you the respect you want? *laughs* You just don't get it, do you? Kicking my ass won't prove anything to anyone. Everyone at Bullworth only cares about themselves." - Wes to Jared during their final battle.

Relationships
Jared Tyler (Rival): Wes arrives at Bullworth Academy a week after Jared does. He gains Jared's friendship after being admitted into the Skater Clique. Jared, however, still keeps and eye on him, as he gives off a vibe of being more "off" than the other students at Bullworth.
