Greasers

&nbsp The Greasers are one of the five school cliques.

Hierarchy
Johnny Vincent is the leader of the clique. Both Peanut Romano and Norton Williams occupy positions of authority in the clique as well. Peanut is said to be second-in-command according to game data files and the strategy guide, but this isn't stated in game. Both are seen giving orders to the clique, and both might be Johnny's lieutenants.

The Greasers are second in the school clique hierarchy, behind only the Jocks. However, the instruction manual of Scholarship Edition mistakenly says they are the top clique in the hierarchy.

Clique Description and Information
The Greasers dress in leather or denim jackets, and also grease their hair. In general they look like 1950s-style throwbacks. They wear dark blue shirts with brown shorts during gym class. Other than Johnny and Norton, their surnames suggest they may be from Italian-American origins. They appear at the Auto Repair Shop on the campus and in the run-down New Coventry area and the Oil Spill gas station. They are enemies of the Preppies and Townies, and can also be seen tormenting the townsfolk. Greasers could sometimes be found outside the motel socializing with each other. Jimmy refers to them as the greaseball kids, and in the beginning of Chapter 3, he calls Peanut a throwback. The greasers have the tendecy of hijacking or stealing bikes and claim that bikes are better than cars. Certain greasers, particularly Peanut, can be seen egging the boys' dorm at nightfall.

Role in Story
The Greasers don't feature much until Chapter 3, with Johnny employing Jimmy to spy on his girlfriend, Lola, who is having an affair with Gord. From there, Jimmy helps the Greasers in attacking the Preppies, but he is later reminded by Derby of his leadership role with the Preppies. Jimmy then begins to work against the Greasers, include helping Chad and Algie escape from New Coventry and retrieving some of Lola's belongings. Jimmy and Johnny end up fighting in a secluded area, with Jimmy prevailing and gaining the trust of the Greasers.

Gary Smith begins to stir trouble up with the school cliques and turns the Greasers against Jimmy. Jimmy, however, manages to regain some of the trust by helping Johnny escape from the Happy Volts Asylum. Jimmy later beats Johnny again in another fight and once again pacifies the Greasers.
