Tyler
"'Have I ever told you how adorably nerdy you are? Study buddies it is.' - Zack to Tyler in Book 1, Chapter 5"

Tyler is Zack's best friend and gaming partner.

Brandon
"'I've never felt this way about anyone else before... I don't want to lose what we have together!' - Zack about Brandon in Book 2, Chapter 14"

In Book 1, Zack has a big crush on Brandon but hasn't got the courage to talk to him. Brandon finds Zack's shy behavior very cute and would like to get to know him better. If Your Character supports Zack, he'll make a move on Brandon and they'll go to the formal together. In Book 2, Brandon and Zack are an official couple and things seem to go pretty well, until Brandon confesses that he's transferring to a college in Peru for three months. Zack acts like it doesn't bother him much because he doesn't want to make Brandon worry. Privately, Zack is terrified because he doesn't know if he can handle a long distance relationship. In Book 3, it is shown how much they miss each other. Zack's roommates do everything to support the young couple and cheer them up. However, in Book 4, Brandon and Zack break up. They see each other again at the Aurora Festival at the end of Book 4.
