Your Mother
She is Your Character's mother. She works as a pediatric surgeon at Edenbrook Hospital and has gotten you a volunteer job at said hospital after school. If you spend time with Dakota at the dog park, you tell Dakota that your mom wants you to go to a good college, although medical school is "optional". Thus, even if you don't know what your life ambitions are yet, you are focused on getting good grades to get into a good college.

Amy
Amy is your neighbor and best friend. When you moved to Willow Creek the past summer, she helped you find your bearings as well as study for the SATs. In the beginning, she warns you about dating Dakota as the latter has never had an official girlfriend and not for lack of volunteers. She has seen many girls get their hearts broken because of Dakota and she doesn't want that to happen to you. Later, you find out from Dakota that Amy was his/her first kiss and they crushed on each other during their freshman year. Whatever your feelings are towards that, you two remain friends.

Dakota Winchester
You meet Dakota Winchester on your first day of your senior year at Willow Creek High. He/she has left you an email that you receive during graduation although Dakota is absent from the classmates surrounding you. The email causes you to think back about what happened during your senior year, how you two met, and your relationship with him/her.

Heather

Jayden

Mateo

Lennox
