Your Character
Rory is Your Character's next door neighbor, having known you since childhood, and one of your potential love interests. Although you attend Homecoming with Erin, you find out later that Rory intended to ask you to the dance. You have the choice to dance the last dance with Rory, and learn some dance moves. There you both realize the last time you danced together was in elementary school and you square danced. You can also tease him/her about his/her horrible Southern accent and how s/he wanted to be a cowboy back then. If you say you pretended to be a different prince(ss) every week, you will be embarrassed of your 8-year-old you, while he/she answers "Nine-year-old me thought it was pretty fun". If you decide to pursue Rory as a love interest, you can choose to share your first non-stage kiss and become a couple with him/her at the end of Book 1, Chapter 15.

In Book 2, when you find out both Rory and your twin are running against each other for student body president, Rory tells you that not voting for him/her might hurt but not as much as it would hurt knowing you were not following your heart. Ajay thinks Rory is being too selfless. However, when Rory and your twin start taking the competition too seriously, attack each other verbally, and sabotage the other's campaign, you feel conflicted and whoever you don't choose will feel hurt, angry, or betrayed. In Chapter 7, you need to choose which of the two you will help during the winter festival and trying to use a white lie backfires.

Ajay
Rory and Ajay seem to have a very good friendship despite Rory doing things that annoy Ajay such as misusing props or making joking comments. The two seem to butt heads, however they are able to come together and work toward a common goal. It's also revealed that Rory continues to help Ajay in math, despite not being a great tutor. In Book 2, Ajay becomes Rory's campaign manager. He becomes frustrated that not all the theater kids are going to vote for Rory (i.e. Skye, Erin, and possibly you).

Danielle
Rory has known Danielle for years, considering her a friend. At Homecoming, Rory was afraid (s)he might have led Danielle on, but made sure she knew that all Rory felt for her was just friendship. They had gone to Homecoming together as friends during their freshman year. When she confesses to sabotaging Jordan ' s audition and letting you take the blame, Rory is furious with her. It's unclear if Rory forgives her by the end of Book 1, but if you decide to forgive her, you tell her that Rory will too.
