Sits in the back of the class, scribbles poems in the margins of her notebook. Super anxious, but accidentally gorgeous. Everyone spreads weird rumors about her because she once had a “meltdown” in middle school and no one lets it go. Has like 1 friend until the hot new guy starts talking to her.

President of like… every club. Dresses like he’s going to a business meeting at all times. Lowkey terrifying but somehow super hot?? Teachers love him. Students fear him. Secretly has insane trauma, a therapist mom, and writes in a Moleskine journal. Gives epic valedictorian speech and probably ends up in an Ivy League.

Captain of the soccer team but also voted “most likely to become famous.” Knows EVERYONE’S business. Makes TikToks, probably runs the school’s meme page. Somehow pulls off straight A’s even though no one’s ever seen him study. Flirts with teachers and lunch ladies. Still lovable.

Shows up junior year and immediately everyone is obsessed. Has killer style and a resting b*tch face that scares the popular girls. Rumored to have dated a European prince. Secretly a genius, probably in AP Lit just for fun. Doesn’t care about high school drama, but will ruin someone if they mess with her or her friends. Kenji dies for her, but she makes him work for it.

Cheer captain. Throws parties that get shut down by cops.

Dated Warner once and still pretends like he’ll come crawling back. Buys followers. Cries when no one notices her new nose job. Lives for drama.

Boy next door. Protective. Golden retriever energy. Works part-time to help with bills. Starts off charming but turns into the jealous ex who can’t move on. “I’m not like other guys,” but then is exactly like other guys. The type to text “come outside” and be sitting on your curb with a six-pack of root beer.

7th grader who’s way cooler than any high schooler. Everyone loves him. Teachers sneak him candy. Has better style than you. Gives unfiltered advice and roasts adults to their faces.

Teaches ethics or literature or something unnecessarily deep. Runs the student council like it’s a peace summit. Always says “Let’s unpack that” when someone makes a rude comment. Wears cardigans. Drinks too much tea.

Both couples are centered around a young woman who has been underestimated and underestimated her whole life, and a man with an emotionally traumatic upbringing who swears he’s not capable of love. Their love is intense, slow-burn, full of miscommunication, and deeply earned. The yearning. The push and pull. The “I burn for you” vibes? Unmatched.

Hear me out. Nazeera is secretly in love with Kenji, but she masks it with sarcasm, banter, and badassery. Kenji is oblivious, charming, and refuses to see what’s right in front of him. They dance around each other for years. They’re funny, passionate, and when they finally click? Fireworks. Also, Kenji giving big “write me letters while I’m abroad” energy.

Sweet on paper, doomed in practice. Adam thinks he knows who Juliette is and falls in love with that version. Like Edwina and Anthony, it’s more about what they think they want than what they actually need. There's tenderness and protection, but not a real foundation.

Do It even need to explain??

Castle is that rare adult figure who actually listens and tries to guide without controlling. Like Lady Danbury, he sees the bigger picture, supports growth, and drops wisdom bombs when needed.

Core vibe: Practical, quietly fierce, emotionally grounded but strong

• Black compression leggings
• Sleek sports bra in gray or deep blue
• Lightweight zip-up hoodie (usually unzipped halfway)
• Basic black trainers
• Hair in a tight high ponytail or braid

Style notes: She dresses for function and minimal distractions. She doesn’t care about looking cute, but she still ends up looking stunning.

Core vibe: Lethal, fashionable, expressive, graceful confidence

• Custom-designed athletic set in jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, or deep red)
• High-waisted leggings with cutout or mesh details
• Matching sports bra with strappy back
• Designer sneakers (possibly limited edition Nikes or Pumas)
• Gold-accented hair clips or bandana
• Hair in a sleek high braid or high ponytail

Style notes: She looks like she walked off a fashion shoot even in combat drills. Her look says: “I came to slay, physically and fashionably.”

Vibe: Brooding intellect with hidden vulnerability. Sharp, precise, and romantic when you least expect it.

• Lana Del Rey (he won’t admit it, but “Born to Die” is his villain origin playlist)
• Hozier (he plays “Take Me to Church” and “Cherry Wine” on repeat when he’s in his )
• Radiohead (for the existential melancholy)
• Hans Zimmer (orchestral scores to dissociate during combat training)
• Florence + The Machine (secretly obsessed with her power)

Bonus: He pretends he doesn’t like music with lyrics, but then memorizes every word to "Young and Beautiful."

Vibe: Gentle soul turning into a powerhouse. Deep emotions, unshakable core.

• Aurora – ethereal yet haunting, exactly like her
• Taylor Swift – especially Reputation, Folklore, and 1989
• Billie Eilish – soft and angry in all the right places
• Birdy – she listened to her in isolation; it stuck
• Kesha (Rainbow era) – reclaiming herself through sound

Bonus: “My Tears Ricochet” is her theme song when she’s spiraling. “Ready for It?” is her transformation anthem.

Vibe: Bold, elegant, unbothered — carries the weight of grief and power with style.

• Beyoncé – her religion
• Rihanna – especially “Desperado,” “Needed Me,” “Consideration”
• Doja Cat – pure confidence & clever chaos
• Snoh Aalegra – smooth, luxe, emotional depth
• Tems – spiritual, grounded power

Bonus: She listens to Arabic pop and hip-hop too — she has an elite playlist she never shares. Think Nancy Ajram meets underground rappers from Beirut.

Comic relief meets hidden sadness. Loyal, layered, secretly thoughtful.

• Anderson .Paak – chill, funny, rhythmic — it’s him
• Childish Gambino – he is “Redbone”
• Drake – certified sadboi in private
• Olivia Rodrigo – he loves the drama, pretends it’s ironic
• Paramore – his angsty inner child is alive and well
• SZA – he gets in his feels and she help

His “pump-up” playlist is all over the place — it has Queen, Megan Thee Stallion, and that one anime opening theme no one else recognizes.
