Annie, aka Cleves, hails from Hannah Capin's young adult novel The Dead Queens Club. It's a modern retelling of the story of Henry VIII and his six wives that's set in a small Indiana town, primarily at its high school. Henry is a football player and prom/homecoming king who, at the beginning of the novel, is on girlfriend #5: perky cheerleader Katie Howard.
Cleves - here short for Cleveland, her former hometown - moved to Lancaster before the start of senior year, and thanks to a summer camp friendship with Henry, she's been in with the popular crowd from the get-go. (There was also a brief, ill-advised stint as his #4, but that's over and done with and they're back to being pals.) She's markedly less of an academic than her adoptive parents (both professors) and younger sister (an aspiring doctor) and doesn't exactly have her future sorted out, but she's clever and compassionate. She's working it out. She does know she wants to write crime novels, which means she has a definite nose for mystery, and she does serve as a journalist for the school paper (and an amateur feminist critic of high school culture).
