brainstorming & development / Interested in a high school drama hack, but a little unsteady with Moves...

As the title says, I want to do a high school drama sort of game. Monsterhearts is awesome and it was what finally made the Apocalypse engine click for me, but it's not quite what I want... it's a little too dark and a little too supernaturally focused. I'm not really against having some angst, or even having a supernatural setting as an option, but I'd prefer it to be more on the level of The Breakfast Club, Glee, or Degrassi (or on the supernatural front, Spider-Man or Monster High, for a particularly low-angst example).
First of all is there anyone who's worked on something like this already? I hate to reinvent the wheel.
Second of all, if there's not, could I get some coaching and/or brainstorming when it comes to moves? I find them tricky enough to write, and creating basic moves for an entirely new hack is proving to be especially tricky for me. There are one or two I might be willing to crib from Monsterhearts, but I don't want to take the basic moves from that wholesale because I think they tend to not be quite in line with the experience I want, which is after all meant to be slightly less brooding.
