While she hangs around the theatre group, she doesn't speak much and is closed off. However, she will become more friendly and open around you. In a premium scene in Book 1, Chapter 3, you can listen to her talk about being Brian's sister. She reveals to you that she pushes everyone away because she doesn't want to be associated with him. You encourage her to open up to the theatre group about it, to which they disclose that they already knew and didn't care. Skye is also one of the few people who sticks up for Your Character when s/he is accused of sabotaging the audition, and follows you outside to comfort you with Erin. She is more aloof in the friend group but continues to demonstrate that she cares about and values Your Character's friendship. You can have your first kiss with her in Book 1, Chapter 15, which will be her first kiss as well.
Ajay Bhandari
Ajay is one of your love interests and the director of the play you are in. You can have your first kiss with him in Book 1, Chapter 15.
Danielle
Danielle dislikes you due to her having a crush on Rory and losing the role of the prince/princess to you. You can choose to forgive her after she is deeply remorseful towards the end of Book 1.
Your Character (HSS)
You meet Your Character (High School Story) during auditions for "The Enchanted Kingdom" at the beginning of the school year.

Your Character (HSS) sticks up for you, never believing you would do such a thing.

In the spring, Your Character (HSS) and his/her friends audition for "The Tempest: The Musical" and hang out with you and the rest of the cast.
