- Her brother worked part-time as a kitchen hand at the Bistro. If he didn’t get the job at first, he would have nagged his way into the position, constantly swinging by to get the staff to try his cooking. When Willard disappeared, Donovan was the first person Sara asked for his whereabouts.
- Willard dreamed of opening a restaurant in Delton, one great and crazy enough for Guy Fieri to feature on his show. He swore that Sara would be his right hand chef. (“It’s sous chef, you dork.”)
- Sara’s mom told her to get a hobby so she decided to get into beer brewing with help from the guys at P.J’s. In return she lends them a hand with their events, occasionally with bookkeeping too. Due to her unofficial apprenticeship she often goes straight there after work.
- She’s not gay though. Why do people keep assuming that?
- She campaigned for Student Council President back in high school. The campaign ran out of steam after Willard left so she settled for the position of Treasurer.
- No one knows how she balances her day job with her P.J’s commitments and her online degree. (She naps a lot in the break room.)
Once she heard about the reunion, she would have had a big hand in getting the word out about it. She’s bringing a keg in her trunk for the demolition watching.
Lucas @Mao Mao
If Lucas was friends with Meir they probably talked often enough for her to remember the boy behind all the tragedy. But after the profile leaked and he started flunking, he became little more than an example of what not to be.
Connor @Sweven7
It would be nice to hang out with another beer appreciator but unfortunately she finds it hard to look past the stereotypical popular white jock he was back then, even if he’s mellowed out now. She’s cordial to him and his wife at least when they pop by the store. Has made the mistake of asking if there were any kids on the way at least once.
Freya @Eleven
Depends if she was one of Freya’s ‘unlikely friends’. Sara would have wanted to keep it under wraps, knowing how other people viewed her relationships as weirdly contractual. If anyone knew about it, Freya – or worse, other people – would likely just assume she was using the rich girl for popularity or a brief escape from middle class life.
If they weren’t friends then Sara wouldn’t take the initiative to talk to her. Freya would just be a face she’d note from the periphery of a party.
Benjamin @Odin
Maybe if his grades were better she’d probably remember who that was.
Hanna @Prisk
The bathroom encounters were an inevitability. Sara would have tried making an acerbic comeback before realizing there was no way she’d ever beat a mean girl in a competition of smack talk. She used a different bathroom for the rest of that school year.
The years have passed and Sara has let go of her grudge, chalking it down to it being a standard high school experience. Honestly, after the cheerleader drama, the thing that stands out the most about Hanna in her mind is her hypocrisy.
Meir @Salsa Verde (i get hungry every time i read your gd username)
They probably were good friends. Decathlon buddies? Sara would have been openly jealous of his superior grades but also appreciative that there was another person who excelled through hard work rather than natural talent. Out of the cast, he’s the only one she would have tried staying in contact with after graduation, though that stopped after a measly few months.
Genesis @fledermaus
If Genesis was the one chugging vodka on the table, Sara was the one wiping the shoeprints off afterwards. Sara secretly prided herself on knowing how to avoid trouble.
Jack @nodogs
A casual friend in high school likely. She would have tried recruiting Jack to the girl’s soccer team several times, until it became a running joke between them (from Sara’s perspective anyway). Though Sara would consciously avoid the Bistro, since they both stayed in Delton and weren’t actively hostile, there's a good chance Jack is the person Sara is most familiar with out of the cast currently.
