That sounds very interesting, but I know nothing about it. I'll try to investigate as well.
A supernatural story from the 80's with a bunch of teens.
What I remember is - One boy is a feral child due to parental abuse, one girl is a Tsundere toward the main character and at the end the other girl (who's a Mysterious Waif type) turns out to be a ghost.
Each of the teens has some sort of symbol, with the Main Character's being a circle (or a ring?), which he's underwhelmed by, but the mentor girl explains that the circle is vital because it keeps the team together.
When all seems lost because of a traitor, the Main Character manages to make the others see sense and wonder why they were betrayed, the bad guys are beaten, and the mentor girl turns out to have been a ghost and the previous Circle, who failed to keep her team together.
So I remember all that, but I don't remember the name! Or the author! It's been driving me nuts for years!
