Gameplay Features
Closet
After its introduction in LoveHacks, Book 1, the "Closet" feature was subsequently added to some of Choices' other series. This feature allows you to customize your clothes and in-game appearance.
The evidence board is for clues that are found in Book 1. Initially, it was solely used to find out who crashed into Tyler's car at the end of The Sophomore, Book 2, but in Chapter 5, the board's use was extended for other investigations, such as the case of Beau Han's increasingly disruptive behavior.

Spoilers
On March 23, 2018, the release date and the description for Chapter 1 was revealed.[1]
In Pixelberry's blog post about The Junior, Saran, a writer for the book, hinted that there may be more Love Interests to come.[2]
This has been confirmed, as Nathan Sterling is a love interest for your character but only if Your Character isn't already dating one of the previous five love interests.
However, by the end of the book, Nathan is a not-meant-to-be LI which means that the number of official love interests for Your Character stays at five, close behind Kenna from The Crown & The Flame with six.
Trivia
It was confirmed in the final chapter of The Sophomore, Book 2.
It premiered on Monday, April 9, 2018; a first for the franchise and for Pixelberry.
This is the first book to be released on a Monday instead of a Wednesday and/or a Friday.
In a reply to a player, Pixelberry confirmed that back then, The Junior was the only book to come out on Mondays.
This book continues a trend which began in The Sophomore, where all chapters are named after popular songs. However, the songs that the chapters are named after in The Junior are all from the 2010s so far.
Chapter 1 is "Live While We're Young" by One Direction.
Chapter 2 is "A Head Full of Dreams" by Coldplay.
Chapter 3 is "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift.
Chapter 4 is "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus.

In Chapter 8, for the premium choice of breaking into the manager's office, you have to unlock the door. If you are dating Chris/James/Kaitlyn/Zig or you are single, Kaitlyn will unlock the door with a hair pin. But if you are dating Becca, you unlock the door with a credit card, claiming you learned the trick from her.
As of Chapter 8, all of the love interests except for Nathan have been victims of pranks that qualify as crimes.
At the end of Chapter 12, it is revealed that Chapter 13 will be the final chapter, thus making this the second shortest book in the franchise.
Limetown Studios designed all of the book covers of The Freshman series.[3]
More specifically, one of the Limetown Studios artists that worked on the book covers is named Amanda Duarte. [4][5]
On September 22, 2018, The Junior, Book 1 received a redesign in the thumbnail of the book cover. On the new 2020 interface, the word "Book One" is removed.
