In The Sophomore, Book 2, you can help her take her mind off what happened with her father if you develop a superhero story together with her in a premium scene. If Chris is your LI in The Senior, she says she likes you better than Nicole, his ex-girlfriend from high school.

In The Sophomore, she overheard a conversation between Chris and their mother in which he let her know that Frank had turned up on his doorstep and decided to meet her father. So she lied to her mother about her whereabouts and travelled to Hartfeld on her own. When they meet, things first seem to go well even though he pays more attention to Chris than to her. They even agree that AJ can stay at her father's place for some time. However, one night, a scared AJ appears at your home, not knowing where Frank is, thinking he abandoned her once again.
