Darren
Darren and Madison were dating for a week, but it didn't work out, so they stayed friends.

Logan & Tripp
In Book 2, Logan and Tripp are both crushing on Madison and fight over her attention all the time. Madison feels very uncomfortable about this situation and doesn't know how to handle it. Depending on Your Character's advice, Madison will either go to the boat dance with one of these guys and they'll be an official couple, or she goes alone since she cannot choose. However, if she dates one of them, it won't last long, as in The Sophomore, Madison will be single no matter what.

Becca
"She's really a big softy under that icy exterior. - Madison about Becca in Book 1, Chapter 7."

Madison calls Becca her best friend, even though Becca mostly treats her more like her underdog. Later she starts spending more and more time with Logan or Tripp, leaving Becca lonely most of the time.

In The Sophomore, Book 1, Becca and Madison have a falling out because of Becca being outvoted as House President by almost every member of the Kappa Phi Sigma sorority, with Madison being elected as the new chapter president. It leads to Becca giving Madison the cold shoulder and Madison asking for your advice. In Book 2, Becca surprised Madison with a song on the quad of Hartfeld. Madison appreciated her surprise and they reconciled. Becca got another surprise and they head off to go rock climbing together. It is revealed that they first met when they both rushed in Kappa Phi Sigma and team up for an assignment. They've been friends ever since.
