He is shown to be delusional as he doesn't see anything wrong with his actions and is surprised to find out that a majority of Hearst students either hate or fear him.

Caleb
They were best friends until it was revealed that Zoe was cheating on Caleb with Brian. Depending on your choice, Caleb will either forgive Brian or not during Homecoming, but refuses to be his friend again after Zoe dumps Brian. During the basketball match in Book 2, Chapter 8, Brian made fun of Caleb when the band and cheerleading squad cheered for Hearst High, implying that his apology wasn't sincere. That or he's upset that Caleb refused his friendship that time. This was confirmed in Book 3, when Brian was temporarily transferred back to Berry High and kept mocking Caleb in class.

Trivia

 * Brian is shown on the cover of High School Story, Book 1.
 * Brian shares a lot of similarities with Manny De La Cruz. Both were once nice people who became very egocentric after becoming jocks, causing their respective girlfriends to dump them, both hate the main character of their respective stories (even when the main character is trying to be nice to them) both of them are guilty of harassment and both deny being into guys.
 * However, Brian continues to ask other girls out after being dumped and keeps getting rejected, while Manny continues to harass the same girl who dumped him. Manny is finally punished for his actions after being reported but Brian hasn't (though it's speculated that this may happen in the future). Also, Brian is probably telling the truth when he says that he isn't into guys, while Manny continues to deny this even after it becomes obvious he is.
 * He mistakenly pronounces the word "Alibi" as "Albibi".
