Aiden Zhou

Aiden, a character in the High School Story series, is a student at Oliver M. Berry High School. He is also one of your love interests. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Aiden has dark brown eyes, black hair, and fair skin. He wears a black sweater over a white polo shirt with black jeans. In Book 3, he wears a buttoned light blue short and dark blue pants with a watch.

Personality
Aiden is a skilled musician and has a vast knowledge of music, something he expects from other band members. Because of his seriousness with music, he finds it outrageous that people don't take music seriously, as evidenced when Myra broke up his argument with Ezra over what music the band should play.

Despite his knowledge of music, he lacks social skills and acts awkward towards other people, such as your character when they make a move towards him.

Ezra Mitchell
Ezra and Aiden are members of the school band, but they often argued over many things, such as which song should they play for the first game of football season. They eventually got over their differences and cooperated to make the band more efficient.

Your Character
As a love interest, Aiden is available for your character to date if you choose to.

Myra
Aiden and Myra are both members of the school band. If your character does not romance Aiden, he will go to homecoming with Myra as friends.

His Parents
Glen and Bridget are Aiden's parents who prefer to be called Mr. and Mrs. Zhou. They are very strict on Aiden, grounding him, taking away all of his electronics, and forcing him to quit the band as punishment for being suspended in Book 2. But after Isa is arrested, they come to Berry High and apologize to Aiden for not believing him.

Terrence
At first, Aiden had positive views on Terrence based on their mutual love of music. However, Terrence proved to be too much for Aiden to deal with when the latter said that the former always talked over him during music theory class.

Cameron
Cameron is a love interest for Aiden (if he's single). He will start to develop feelings for Cameron. A premium option in Book 3, Chapter 3 allows you to invite Cameron to Caleb and Ezra's party and improve their relationship together. Another premium option, this time in Chapter 7, allows you to play as Aiden and give a promposal to Cameron, and Cameron says yes.
