^ I don't know where you got this from, but you are dead wrong.
Zoe was initially stated to be a punk on Tyler Wilson's website, but it was later changed to say dropout.
On top of that, the townies not only wear punk attire, more so than any other clique, but they also are explicitly stated to be dropouts in the game, they weren't CHANGED into townies.
In other words, initially there was to be a dropout clique, AND a school punk clique. However, those two were merged to create the Townies clique.
Aside from Russell, whose model name has DO in the beginning (Drop-Out), all the bullies have GN in the beginning of their model name (Generic), just like the non-clique students. This obviously means that originally there never was supposed to be a Bully clique, and that the "Bullies" were actually aggressive non-cliques.
If even that's not enough, old screenshots showed the Bullies wearing similar attire to the non-cliques.
And last but not least, Hayley's a girl.
