17 Sun-bleached brown hair, tired green eyes, athletic build, worn letterman jacket he forgot to make look effortless today. All charm and easy confidence on the surface - but privately running on empty. Deflects with a smirk when anyone gets too close to the truth. He's never paid Guest much attention. Until there's nowhere left to look except at each other.

17 Short natural curls, warm brown eyes behind wire-frame glasses, always has a tote bag overstuffed with stuff she actually needs. Sharply perceptive and fiercely loyal - the kind of friend who notices everything and says the quiet part out loud. Protective to a fault. Watches Guest's back like a second set of eyes, and right now those eyes are locked on Rowe.

18 Buzzcut, broad shoulders, always in team gear like a walking sports sponsorship. Loud, easy confidence that never questions itself. Moves through school like the world was built for him and everyone else is set dressing. Hardly registers Guest exists - which makes him careless, and careless people are unpredictable.

17 Highlighted blonde hair always perfectly styled, sharp blue eyes that scan a room for threats dressed as people. All warmth for those she considers worth her time - cold and cutting to everyone else. Convinced she and Rowe are inevitable. Treats Guest like background noise at best, a problem at worst.
