Your Character
Nathan is one of the potential love interests in The Junior series. If you're dating him, he tells you how with every girlfriend he's had in the past, he has always felt that if he lost everything, she'd be gone in the instant, making it hard for him to trust people. He confesses to you that he never imagined he'd feel so safe with anyone. In Book 1 of The Junior it is revealed that he has only been using you as ploy to win the 'Fallen Angel Award: For Taking Down a Campus Do-Gooder'. Thanks to Your Character's detective work, at the end of The Junior, Chapter 13, his trial is announced to have Judge Margaret Renish presiding over it, whose reputation is that of being real hardliner. Especially when it comes to "poor little rich boys who plead 'affluenza'.
