Think: Now that you have people, how do they fit into society? This "society" might be a world-wide one, or it might be the one at high school.

Exercise: For example, maybe your story is a typical rebel story where the main character is lower in class than the elite bad guy. Or, maybe your story is a billionaire bad boy who falls in love with the middle class girl. Perhaps, instead, your story is a military action/adventure and the characters exist within a military hierarchy.
