Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn meets Natasha during her visit at the Art club, searching for a new hobby. Kaitlyn loves Natasha's painting and also considers her as a good-looking girl. They both like punk music and know the same music groups, so Natasha invites Kaitlyn and her friends to a gig of "The Gutter Kittens". When Kaitlyn finally stands up to Natasha, she is kicked out of The Gutter Kittens.

In The Senior, Natasha crashes a concert by Kaitlyn's band as a publicity stunt to offer them the chance to tour with Loose Pins. When Kaitlyn accepts, Natasha joins in a performance of a mashup of one of Kaitlyn's band's songs and Loose Pins' "Werewolf".

Rachel & Amara
Rachel, Amara and Natasha are band-mates in The Freshman. They're coming along very well but as Amara starts to develop feelings for football-hero Darren, Natasha and Rachel are very unhappy about this because both think that they don't fit together. They're unaware that Darren actually likes punk music. Once Natasha threatens to kick Kaitlyn out of The Gutter Kittens, Amara confesses that she doesn't like the person that Natasha has become. She goes on to say that if she really does kick Kaitlyn out of the band, she will leave as well. Rachel is initially torn between Natasha and Amara, but decides to follow Natasha. In The Sophomore, Book 1, Chapter 1, it is confirmed by Rachel that the band doesn't exist anymore after Natasha's departure. Amara and Rachel form a new band with Kaitlyn.
