Payton
Sydney is friends with Payton, who is also on the cheer squad.

Mia
Sydney is on the same cheer squad as Mia. She used to be harsh to Sydney because she thinks that Sydney makes cheerleading look easier. In Book 2, Chapter 4, you can use singing telegrams to set them up.

Your Character
She is very kind and supportive to Your Character (if you chose cheer leading), and helps you and Emma improve on some of the cheer leading positions.

She is shown to be nice no matter what activity you choose. In Book 2, Chapter 8, when some of the cheer and band members cheer for Hearst due to their frustration with the basketball team, she understands if it makes you uncomfortable.
