Claudia Rhodes
He's Claudia's ex-boyfriend, and they were together until he was arrested. You note that Claudia never looked as happy as she did being on a friend date with Dylan than being Brett's girlfriend. After their breakup, Brett went on a long rant about how awful of a girlfriend Claudia was, saying she didn't love him the way he loved her. In Chapter 10, he confirms that he sprayed their initials on a wall, and claims that he never hurt her. He says that they fell fast and hard, and that he never met someone who got him the way Claudia did. However, Claudia started ditching him to spend time with Gabbie, and even when Brett needed her and was begging her to be there for him, she wasn't.

Tyler Woods
When you and Tyler attempt to interrogate him in Chapter 5, the latter ends up losing his temper and punches him.

Gabbie Navarro
In Chapter 4, it is revealed that Gabbie had sold him out to the police since he was her rival in the fake I.D. business. He spent a year in jail and was released a few weeks prior to the events of the story. When you try to interrogate him, he says that he wouldn’t get his hands dirty for her. In Chapter 7, he claims that Gabbie had always hated him, even before he started dating Claudia, and accused her of "stalking" him, always trying to get him in trouble. Although he was released before her murder, he gives an alibi accounting for the night of her murder as he was in jail again for violating his parole. He thinks her death will make people worship her more than they already did. Stevie believes Brett doesn't know why Gabbie hated him for so long, and you agree that it seems like Gabbie was out to get him for a long time. Brett does later admit that Gabbie always seemed to hate him more than he hated her, and you theorize that Brett's abusive behavior is what determined Gabbie to get him arrested.

Stevie Sun
Stevie hates Brett, and in Chapter 8, she confesses to you that when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore, Brett attempted to sexually assault her. This happened after going to a party and having something to drink that made her dizzy. When Brett saw her, he gave her water and offered to drive her home with his car, but instead, he climbed on top of her and started kissing her. Stevie told him to stop to no avail, until Brett's girlfriend at the time interrupted them before things escalated. Judy blamed Stevie for what happened, and because of this, it cost Stevie her reputation. Stevie on the other hand told some people about what happened, but never reported Brett because she didn't believe that it would change anything.
