Childhood Crush
If you ask Childhood Crush about his dad and how he has been over the summer, he'll tell you that his father is still fuming ever since the Air Force bowl team lost to Berkeley seven months ago. Childhood Crush says that he "collects grudges like badges. And you know how much he loves badges."

Your Character
At the end of Chapter 7, you and Bad Boy are summoned to his office. You think you're in serious trouble, especially when he is friends with your dad, but he lets you go. You are surprised by it but run out without questioning it.

In Chapter 13, you, your dad, and your sister meet the Jennings for dinner and Mackenzie wonders how they can afford living in a mansion on a high school principal's salary. If you decided to visit the hot tub earlier with Childhood Crush in Chapter 9, you would share the same question as your sister. During the dinner, he doesn't mention you being sent to his office for breaking school rules and you can choose to tell him that "there are lots of paths to success" or that "sometimes you learn more when you break the rules".

Best Friend
In Chapter 4, Best Friend suggests you repeat the 'Down and Dirty' routine from sophomore year. You point out that it almost got them expelled as Principal Jennings called it NC-17. At dinner, he appears to agree with Linda's sentiment that Best Friend is a great match for their son.

Bad Boy
At the end of Chapter 7, you and Bad Boy are summoned to his office. While he is talking to Bad Boy in his office, you overhear him mentioning a deal but cannot make out any details.

Dave Price
Your dad and Principal Jennings are old friends. Even though your family and the Jennings used to be close when you were younger, they hadn't kept in touch after your mother passed away.
