• Jamie - Jamie used to be the top student. She is incredibly smart, so smart in fact, she was put into the grade ahead. She was also known for her kindness, as she always resolved issues almost immediately. Her family was well off and supportive, but Jamie never felt fully comfortable in her own skin. She started to experiment with drugs after being introduced to Blake who Jamie felt she could relate to. Taylor, Jamie’s other friend she met at school, refused to take part but still hung out with the group. Jamie would consume drugs any chance she got, and one day, while at a party, got into a fight with Lucy after Jamie became aggressive. Max broke the two apart, but still Jamie wouldn't back down. Jamie later apologised for her actions and Lucy agreed to meet at another time to talk things out. But she never showed. While at school, a few days later, Jamie consumed more drugs than usual and went into their regular history class, but never came out.

• Blake - Blake grew up on the wrong side of town. His parents were never home and he was forced to look after his younger sister. He was always alone with no one to help him. He always seemed to be surrounded by people but no one ever stayed. Until Jamie. Jamie stayed and looked out for him. But being alone so often, especially with his own thoughts, began to take a toll. So he turned to the only thing he had seen help with this problem. Drugs. In doing so, he also introduced them to Jamie. But Jamie got carried away and overdose, and Blake felt that he was responsible. For introducing them to Jamie, for doing them with Jamie and for not stopping her when he could see she was in over her head. Then she died, and he was alone… again.

• Taylor - Taylor is a bit of a people pleaser. She has spent her whole life making sure everyone around her is at their best but she has never stopped to look at herself. She has a fear of letting people down and so has a reputation for just saying ‘yes’. She is often taken advantage of and people tend to overlook her selflessness and dedication to other people. She never cared to participate in doing drugs with Jamie and Blake. But because of her people pleasing nature and the fact that she was scared her friends would leave her, she never expressed her concern. Then Jamie died, and Taylor couldn't help but feel responsible. For not saying anything, for not asking for help and, for letting down Jamie.

• Lucy - Lucy is the girl who couldn't give the slightest care about you. She is known to have a resting bitch face which she probably got from her mother who is the most established lawyer in miles. She is headstrong, confident and will always voice her opinion. Because of this people tend to think she’s mean and so she often spends her time at school alone. But one night, while at a party, Jamie and Lucy got into a fight, and Lucy didn't hold back after Jamie started getting aggressive. Lucy through insult after insult at Jamie acting as verbal venom. Hours later, Jamie apologised and the two agreed to meet at another time to talk things out, but Lucy never showed. Then Jamie died and Lucy never apologised.

• Max - Max is best friends with Lucy. Max is the typical class clown and often rejects her thoughts and feelings as she hates being vulnerable. So when her classmate dies, she is all over the place trying to figure out how to react and how to suppress her emotions. But it comes out as anxious rambling, and she can’t stop.
