Your Character
You guys are best friends since freshman year. However, you didn't tell her your feelings toward Childhood Crush. In Chapter 2, your best friend confesses she is dating him. Although you feel hurt at that moment, you still congratulate them. After Childhood Crush is tackled on the football field, she notices how close you are while tending to him. While you expect a direct confrontation, Best Friend takes a different approach and suggests you get a boyfriend yourself.

In Chapter 16, he texts you that she snapped at him for distracting her from her party preparations. If you text back that he should leave her be, you reveal that she once almost broke your arm in a similar situation.

In Chapter 17, when you arrive at her party, Best Friend is already drunk. She greets you by sloppily hugging you, laying her head on your shoulder, and saying that you are her favorite person and that she loves you. Depending on choices, she will tell you how she doesn't understand that you are still single; if she were a guy, she would be all over you. In Chapter 18, she confronts you both after the accidental kiss between you and Childhood Crush and tells you that she is done with you. Despite that, she promotes you to co-captain in Chapter 21.

When you are grounded by your father for being arrested, he tells you that you cannot perform at the Homecoming game nor can you go to the dance. Because of this, Best Friend gives Lauren the position as "Crown Jewel" in the cheer squad's performance. When you apologize again for the accidental kiss and Childhood Crush's subsequent break-up with her, she tells you that she isn't broken up about Childhood Crush. She is broken up about you going behind her back. She says it will take time for you two to mend your friendship.

When you are un-grounded and Lauren messes up the routine, you're given the position as Crown Jewel and execute it flawlessly. It leaves you unsatisfied, so you quit the cheer squad right there and then, giving up your status as co-captain. In Chapter 38, when the dance comes to a close due to a fight between Childhood Crush and Bad Boy, Best Friend drives you home and confesses to you that she has been lying to herself for a long time about what she wanted and who she was. You remember the time when you felt exhilarated that the coolest and prettiest girl wanted to be your friend and the afternoons you joked with her about ditching boys and dating each other instead. You are confused by her admission and your sudden feelings and need time to think about everything. She understands and tells you that you can call her later if you want to talk about anything.

Childhood Crush
She and Childhood Crush started dating during the summer break. She had started flirting with him shortly before school let out and he wanted your opinion if he should start dating her, but you were upset with him for moving and he didn't have a chance to ask you before your family left for Wyoming. In Chapter 9, Childhood Crush confesses when they are in public, she will throw herself all over him, but when they are alone, she is not in the mood to make out, which makes him ask you about her inconsistency. You can encourage Childhood Crush to talk to Best Friend about it or you surmise Best Friend is not actually into him.

In Chapter 16, he texts you that she snapped at him for distracting her from her party preparations when he tried to kiss her. In Chapter 18, after a video of you and Childhood Crush accidentally kissing during a game of Suck n Blow, she confronts you both. She admits that she hasn't trusted him from the beginning, expecting something like this. He tells her that if an accident during a game is enough for her to fly off the handle, they should call it quits; if she never trusted him, they would have never worked at all. In Chapter 22, he reveals that he has ended his relationship with Best Friend to be with you.

Lauren
In Chapter 4, Best Friend tells you that she and Lauren spent some time together during the summer break. According to Iris, Lauren thrives to become her new best friend, the position currently occupied by you. In Chapter 18, Lauren was the one who filmed the accidental kiss that went viral within a matter of moments.

In Chapter 21, Best Friend names you co-captain, causing Lauren to feel jealous and slighted. After Lauren drops you during the human pyramid, Best Friend is very angry with her. When you are grounded from participating in the Homecoming performance, Best Friend gives the position as "Crown Jewel" to Lauren. However, when your grounding is lifted and Lauren flubs the dismount, she takes the position away from Lauren and gives it to you. Later though, Best Friend announces Lauren as Homecoming Queen at the dance.

Chad
In Chapter 24, it is revealed that a few weeks after your fall from the pyramid, Best Friend is dating Chad. If you say that she looks sad, Iris answers that she is worried about Best Friend grimacing while kissing him. Toni adds that Best Friend has never liked him. She breaks up with him in Chapter 37, stating that she has come to a realization about herself and that she doesn't want a boyfriend now. She adds that they both deserve to be someone's first choice but he is not hers.
