♫ Erik Matthews ♫
"He challenges me in a way I didn't expect, and respects me in a way I didn't know I needed."
Erik came to work at the diner where Noah worked. There, they got to know each other. He let her know he was going to be going to Edgebaston, and Noah has taken it upon herself to show him around. While doing so, and working together, the two had grown a very strong friendship over a short span of time, working and chilling together at the end of sophomore year, and all during the summer. He doesn't treat her like a little girl, respects her and helps her branch outside of her strict upbringing and overbearing father. Noah often spends time with him and tries to set him up with every breathing girl. But, they can't just get past Noah's vetting. After getting a little bit too wasted in one of Noah's 'I wanna be a rebel!' moments, the two got matching tattoos on their forearms.

💔☮ Sebastian Ackelhurst ☮💔
"He can spot me any day."
Her best friend Erik's gym buddy, and her ex. It's complicated. She respects what he does with his sport and physique, so much in fact they started dating when she was a sophomore and he a senior. Seb was like a popular prize, a bad guy her father would have a heart attack over, a big fuck you to her parents. She crushed on him hard, but maybe not for the right reasons. As they dated, both of them realised that they vibed really well.. as friends, not as a couple. Now, she still hangs out with him regularly, as he's in Erik's circle.

♥☮ Chris Andrews ☮♥
"I need him to teach me. The way he sketches is phenomenal."
Her best friend Erik's roommate. Since Noah likes spending time with Erik, she had once noticed his sketches and his art. It intrigued Noah so much, she asked for some tips. He gave some small ones, being shy, but Noah would really like to have an art session with him. He told her that he wanted to get back on the track team, so they decided he would join her on runs now.

♥⚜ Lucas Andrew Thorpe ⚜♥
"He's one of the bro's."
Noah respects Lucas in a way she hadn't expected. She sees him go on his daily runs, just like there. Sometimes, they pass each other. He always greets her very politely. The girls on Noah's track team are obsessed with him though, and others write him off as being a rich jock who bought his way into his position in the team. But Noah knows and respects the effort that goes into a sport like that, recognises it. He's one of the "bro's" together with her best friend, and ex, so she hangs out with him sometimes through them.

☮ Oliver Grundy ☮
"One day, I will beat him at Mario Kart"
Sometimes games with them, either in person or in their separate rooms, online. Noah has yet to beat him though, but in a dull moment, he's always up for a match.

⚜ Ryan Reid ⚜
"Her charcoal pieces are amazing. But she's too intimidating to approach."
Noah once caught Ryan absentmindedly using charcoal to make art. It was so inspirational, and beautiful. A level Noah couldn't achieve yet. She hasn't approached her about it, though.

☯ Fiona Salvador ☯
"Breathtaking."
Fiona tickles a certain part in Noah's brain that makes her wheeze, despite being very fit.

☯ Charlotte Ackelhurst ☯
"Well, this may be awkward."
Her ex's sister. She's going to be in Noah's junior class at the start of the year. Noah only knows here from what Seb has told her.

⚜ Avery Sawyer ⚜
"Like a cupid, but not..really?"
Noah often stares at the archers when running or stretching, enamoured by how they can hit their targets. She admires that kind of passion. This particular redhead especially catches Noah's eyes, as she always smiles at her.

⚜ Elin Lewis ⚜
"If I need a book, she knows where to find it"
As a fellow junior, Noah admires Elin. She always knows to find the book Noah needs and likes sitting in silence in the library to study.

§ Persephone LaRue §
"It's like my eye twitches on its own when I see her."
They share an ex, but Noah and Persephone couldn't be more far apart from each other. She thinks Persephone is plotting murder in her head every time she was with Seb, and even though it's over, Noah still doesn't feel comfortable around this raging queen bee.

⚜ Kevin Wu ⚜
"I need his secrets."
As a fellow junior sharing some classes, she talks to him here and there. Noah is no fool, so she could recognise the tell-tale smell of the skincare he uses, one of her favourites. She soo badly wants to bond with him over it, but he denies using it. Liar.

§ Daphne Valmony §
"Listen, I was sad about Seb, okay?"
Shortly after breaking up with Seb, she was working late with Daphne on an art class. A very unlikely pairing, as Noah normally does not associate with girls like Daphne. But when Daphne went on an unexpected tangent to break free from societal norms, Noah said to hell with it and suggested kissing. She was still reeling from her recent heartbreak and felt strongly the same about being expected things of by others. Daphne ignored her ever since.

Avery Jillian Sawyer // Childhood Bestie
Daphne and Avery's friendship bloomed during their parents' boring soirées when they were children. Their friendship seems odd to students, given their differences in terms of interests and appearance, but however different they may seem, they hold each other at high regard. Whether it's attending parties or engaging in social events, Daphne occasionally manages to coax Avery into breaking out of her shell. Meanwhile, Avery is the rational one of the duo, the brains of the operations.

Alistair Bastion LeRue III // The Devil on Her Shoulder
Alistair and Daphne are a destructive force of nature. Together, they bring out the darkest corners of each other's personalities - their most vindictive and manipulative sides. While everything they do is in the spirit of making life a bit less mundane, framing their schemes as "games", it often comes at the expense of someone's feelings or livelihood. Be careful not to get caught in their crossfire.

Lucas Andrew Thorpe // The High-School Sweetheart
During the beginning of her sophomore year and his junior year, Lucas and Daphne were the It couple in the halls of Edgebaston. He is Daphne's only boyfriend to date, the first guy she ever slept with - needless to say, it was a passionate couple of months. However, their little love story took an unfortunate turn when Persephone convinced Lucas that his girlfriend had cheated on him. This led Lucas to end their relationship. Despite the heartbreak, Daphne and Lucas managed to salvage their friendship over time, primarily due to their shared social circles.

Chris Andrew // The Cute Waiter
Are you talking about that new waiter at the Edgebaston Country Club? Yeah, he's definitely cute, and Daphne will make sure that he's on the dessert menu.

Persephone Charlotte LeRue // Frenemy/Boyfriend-Stealer
Daphne and Persephone are friendly... sometimes. Despite their shared interests in fashion, beauty, and partying, they just never seemed to click. This is perhaps due to the fact that Persephone sees Daphne as a potential threat to her crown, but also Daphne's suspicion that Persephone had something to do with Lucas breaking up with her last year. It couldn't be a coincidence that he dated her pretty quickly afterwards, right? This underlying tension sometimes manifests in occasional snide remarks exchanged between them.

Sabrina Tulu Arison // Persephone's Minion
Daphne does not think highly of Persephone's little shadow, Sabrina. She definitely holds more respect for Persephone - at least she has her own personality. Their interactions mirror whatever is currently happening between Daphne and Persephone, and so, while they can play nice for the most part, you can expect little petty insults thrown if Persephone and Daphne find themselves at odds with each other.

Noah Park // No Filter
While Daphne is not one to usually fraternize with scholarship students, Noah and herself have an interesting history, stemming from an art project, for which they were paired together. Noah was intense in her declaration for Daphne to break free from societal norms, and even offered a quick make-out session. While impressed at her blatant disregard for being subtle, Daphne pulled herself away from the equation, distancing herself from the girl.

Oliver James Grundy // Who?
Despite having been in the same Junior year class, Daphne is not able to recall Oliver at the slightest.
