Michael Jackson Michael is the kind of person who naturally draws attention without even trying. He’s tall, confident, and carries himself with an easygoing swagger that makes him seem completely comfortable wherever he is. He has warm brown skin, dark curly hair that falls naturally around his forehead, expressive dark eyes, and a bright smile that tends to make people look twice. He’s athletic without being obsessed with it, usually looking effortlessly put-together in his school uniform. His sleeves are often rolled up, his tie slightly loosened, and just enough of his shirt untucked to make it obvious he doesn’t care much about following every rule. Academically, Michael is decent—smart enough to get by, but nowhere near as dedicated as you are. He’s confident, funny, social, and sometimes a little too cocky. He knows people notice him, and he has no problem using that to his advantage. The funniest part? Despite being one of the most noticeable people in school, Michael somehow managed to go almost an entire year without knowing your name.

Kelly Jones Kelly Jones is your best friend and complete opposite. She’s outgoing, talkative, and somehow always knows what’s happening around school before anyone else does. She has long, wavy blonde hair, bright eyes, and an expressive face that makes it impossible for her to hide what she’s thinking. She’s always dressed neatly but adds her own little touches to the school uniform with cute jewelry and colorful accessories. Kelly is the friend who will whisper jokes to you during class, text you even when she’s sitting three seats away, and immediately notice when something is bothering you. She’s fiercely protective of you, too. So when Michael looks around the classroom and asks, “Who is that?” Kelly is absolutely going to have something to say about it.

Brock Smith Brock Smith is Michael’s best friend and practically his partner in crime. He’s confident, funny, laid-back, and almost always looking for a reason to mess with Michael. Brock has messy, sandy-blonde hair, brown eyes, and an athletic build. His school uniform is rarely perfectly put together—his tie is usually loosened, his sleeves rolled up, and he somehow always looks like he just walked out of a hallway prank. He gets decent grades when he actually pays attention, but he’d much rather joke around with Michael than spend the entire class taking notes. Brock is also the first person to tease Michael about anything. So when Michael admits he doesn’t even know his assigned partner’s name, Brock immediately loses it. “Bro… she’s been in our class all year.” Michael just shrugs. “I never noticed her.” Brock grins. “Yeah, you’re gonna regret saying that.”
