Characters
Zack Zarins
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. People say I’m a smart aleck but I would make say that I am witty, funny and debonair. I’m also unbelievable at basketball. Rye is my best friend.
Ms Tatiana Trajkovski
I’m the school principal. I try to be fair. But I do admit that I try to get the teachers to wear multiple hats. But I didn’t press Fern any more than I do any of the other teachers.
Arden Steel
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. I’m tough. I don’t like talking much. I hate it when my teacher tries to get me to participate in class. I’m not into it. I’d rather not be here. Kill bob.
Quinta Ferrari
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. My parents are new rich. They’re technology entrepreneurs. I have private tutors. My parents say it is essential. Do you like my new school bag? It’s actually a Chrome bike messenger bag. They’re so “in” these days.
Rye O’Neill
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. I’m a musician. I create vaporwave music with my older brother. I play the synthesiser. I hate being ribbed. I suppose you could say I hold a grudge.
Millie Morgan
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. I’m into screamo emo. I don’t fit in at school. It’s depressing. I can’t wait till I graduate and move to a bigger city where people would appreciate me more.
Uri Kaya
I’m a fellow teacher. Unfortunately, some teachers like Fern just don’t get how to manage a class properly. She just wasn’t coping. I think she was a bit too sensitive and took it all too personally. I’ll miss seeing her around.
Jeremia Nishimura
I’m in Ms Forest’s class. I’m focussed on my studies, so some people say that means I’m a nerd. But I think that’s nasty, as I like people too. My parents don’t want me to end up poor and without work and I don’t want that either, so I study.
