Wyatt Gully

Wyatt Gully is a minor character in ''How to Survive High School. ''He is a football player, and one of the more quiet members of the team. Wyatt is usually seen following Ace around, and like Martin, serves kind of like a lackey to him. He is starting his sophomore year of high school in Book 1.

Personality
Not much is known about Wyatt's personality. He likes it when Ace beats people up, and says that if the school opened a boxing team he'd quit football for that, implying that he's quite violent. He is extremely stupid, much more so than Ace or Martin, and likes to eat a lot.

Appearance
Wyatt is a big, brawny African-American football player with short-cut black hair and brown eyes. He is usually seen in a tank top and basketball shorts. He has yet to be seen in a letterman jacket, so it's unknown if he has one.

Book 1: The New Kid
Wyatt is first seen hanging out with Ace and the other jocks, and is one of the first characters Leo meets. He laughs at Leo several times as Leo tries to impress them. After Leo humiliates himself flirting with Natalie, Wyatt is there with Ace to intimidate Leo. When Natalie dumps Ace, causing him to storm away, Wyatt remains to try flirting with the newly-single Natalie, along with Martin and several other guys. He later watches the fight between Ace and Leo. He is seen standing with Ace again when Leo tries joining the football team, and cheers Ace on when he punches Leo in the gut.

On the day Venice's Louis Antoinette is stolen, he is one of the jocks who congratulates Ace for hitting Tammy in the head with a football and gives him a high-five, only to be surprised that it was Santiago who took it from them to throw it at her. Later, he is seen flirting with Natalie again, despite the fact that she is Ace's ex-girlfriend. During Leo's football tryouts, he is assigned by Ace to be Leo's partner, and purposefully performs badly to sabotage Leo's team, much to Leo's annoyance. Later on in the book, he beats Leo up for saying that Ace is a dick. His final appearance in Book 1 is at the homecoming game as one of the people fleeing the collapsing football field.

Trivia

 * Like most characters, Wyatt's personality is derived from his name. Wyatt means "brave in battle," while gully means "giant." Both of these tie into his position as a football player, since he's huge and violent.
 * He has a crush on Natalie, Ace's ex-girlfriend, a fact he often tries to hide from Ace.
