    • Honor Rose is desperate to get out of her town and into Harvard. When her perverted guidance counselor Mr. Calvin tells her there are three other students (Kennedy, Travis and Michael) in the running for his recommendation she decides to sabotage the competition. She first manages to get Kennedy's play running and Travis in the lead while also helping Travis come to turns with his sexuality. While their grades to begin to suffer she ends up bonding with them. Meanwhile she goes about trying to seduce Michael, but ends being charmed by him instead and abandons the plan. When Calvin tells her she could still get the recommendation by sleeping with him, she declines. Later she finds out Michael was playing her for a fool. Briefly heartbroken, Travis and Kennedy convince her to help put on the play and newly reinvigorated, she ends up blackmailing Calvin with his proposition, telling him to give the recommendation to Kennedy. She ends the film bowling with her friends, content with the fact that even if she doesn't get into Harvard, she'll be fine.
    • Michael Dipnicky is the resident school loser and nerd. When he realizes Honor is trying to sabotage him, he goes about charming her instead. He first notices her handmaids tale book and quotes from it, while also making her think he lives in a foster home. When she inadvertently runs into him near his own home, he pretends to break in while covering up evidence that he lives there, further charming her. In the end she abandons her plan to sabotage his grades. When she finds out what he did, she is heartbroken and he points out that she does have heart of gold underneath her fake exterior, helping Kennedy find herself and Travis come to terms with his sexuality. Meanwhile he's not pretty enough nor athletic enough to be liked by the school body so he decided to stop trying. Ultimately he wants to get into Harvard. And he ends the film nearly seconds away from getting the recommendation from Mr. Calvin to get into Harvard.
