Dad
You and your dad are very close since it is just both of you. Your mother died five years ago. He makes you your favorite breakfast everyday and worries about you, but trusts you to be responsible and cautious. You asked him several times in the past to give you driving lessons but he refused because of the accidents he saw at work. He waited for you on your birthday to celebrate it with you but had to leave at the time you came back from the party. In Chapter 2, you tell Riya that you already know your dad will not approve of you hanging out with Logan. You learn that he has been assigned to the case of the Mercy Park Crew and then choose to warn them because you are worried about either your dad to get hurt or Logan to get caught. Either way you feel bad for going behind your father's back. In a premium scene of Chapter 7, you can get some driving lessons from him. When your dad finds out that you are connected to the crew, he steps off from the investigation to protect you.

Riya
As the supportive best friend, Riya pushes you to try new things and expand your horizons especially now that you're 18. She says that she has seen your future and your significant other is a “snack”. She also half-jokes that you're a risk taker for wearing your sweatshirt and jeans instead of dressing up for a date. In Chapter 5, you have the choice to get ice cream with her and talk about what's bothering her after you notice her snap at her boyfriend.

Logan
Logan is one of your potential love interests. You first catch a glimpse of him when you're riding the school bus and later crash into him while talking to Riya and Darius. Because he gets Brent to invite you to his house party, you meet up again at Brent's house. If you decide to open with a joke, his eyes light up when he laughs. If you decide to check out Brent's car collection, Logan tells you that he has never had much time for people and that cars don't let you down. Even if they break down, there's always a reason and you can fix cars, not people. You counter that cars have no emotions and can't love you back, but he say he doesn't mind. In Chapter 1, if you decide to kiss him, you also tell him it's your birthday. In Chapter 2, he invites you to a sideshow, where you have the option of riding with him when he races for the keys to Vaughn's food truck. In Chapter 3, he introduces you to the crew and you have the option of playing pool with them. Later, he teaches you how to drive a stick-shift and you can choose to extend the lesson. If you do, you tell him you realize you're the one who is dangerous to him because you will mess things up for him. He says that is what's driving him crazy; part of him really wants that to happen. However, by the end of Chapter 5, after Salazar attacked you and got into a fight with him, he pushes you away because he sees the conflict you're going through and wants you to leave while you can.

Colt Kaneko
You first meet Colt in Chapter 2, as you wander around the sideshow marveling at the cars and atmosphere. He asks if you're lost, admitting he usually wouldn't care but he's trying to give back to the less fortunate. He knows he's a jerk, but he can multitask and so he tells you about the sideshow. While Logan likes your premium outfit, Colt tells you you're trying too hard. After the race, Mr. Kaneko tells you and Logan that Colt is his son. In Chapter 3, he tries to figure you out and if you choose to play pool with the crew, you can ask him why he's obsessed with you and see him flustered. He admits it's nice to see someone with brains although he doesn't understand why'd you be there with Logan. In Chapter 5, you can choose to sit next to him in the backseat of Ximena's car and when Ximena and Toby leave to get snacks, you can get to know him a little, bonding over the fact that fathers want the best for their kids even if they don't know what that is. In Chapter 6, he is the one that drives you to the DMV to get your license.

Mona
You meet Mona in Chapter 3 when you meet the rest of the crew. She likes to tease you, saying Logan must have fun with you. You can ask her about herself or Colt. In Chapter 5, you can choose to sit with her in her car at the drive-in movie theater; later, if you decide to run from Salazar's fight with Logan, you text her to help. In Chapter 6, she kisses you on the cheek to wish you luck on your DMV test.

Jason Shaw
You first meet Detective Shaw in Chapter 2 where your dad introduces you two. His task force has been assigned to work with your father to take down the Mercy Park Crew. In Chapter 4, when you see both of them strap on their bulletproof vests, they inadvertently give you information about catching the MPC, giving you a ten minute lead to warn Logan and the crew. By the end of the chapter though, Jason tells you that he knows as he produces an evidence bag with your charm bracelet that you dropped during your escape from the underground garage. In Chapter 5, he tells you that he won't tell your father but that he wants you to call him if anything big happens. He also offers you to call him Jason. In Chapters 6 and 7, you have the choice if you want to text him and tell him what you know. Jason will then give you a heads-up at the end of Chapter 7 and tell you that he tried to stop your father from finding out about you. In Chapter 8, you have the choice to tell your father about being Jason's informant.
