You Are Bronwyn: The Class Valedictorian

If there's one word people would use to describe you, it's "determined." Whether it's the weekend or a school day, you have a structured routine that you follow religiously — you're rarely one to sleep in late. In your free time, you love learning as much as you can. That means you like to explore hobbies through one-off courses or read the latest contemporary book release cover to cover. Yes, you might be competitive, but you're considerate and compassionate at heart.

You Are Cooper: The MVP of Every Sport

You've tried almost every sport — and you have the trophies and championships to prove it. You keep your personal life private but maintain a calm, cool, and collected exterior. People make assumptions about you, but only your closest friends know your true self. Sometimes you struggle with your already-planned future and dream about forging your own path in life. You also enjoy spending quality time with friends and family (as well as the occasional party), all while keeping up with your packed schedule.

You Are Addy: The School Socialite

Whether you're headed for a night out or just running errands, you're always dressed to impress. You love posting outfit-of-the-day pictures and mirror selfies to your Instagram Story. You never skip out on scheduled social plans — your friends can always rely on you to pull through. From the outside, some people think you're easy to read. But once they get to know you, they understand how complex and caring you really are.

You Are Nate: The Complicated Rebel

If we had to guess, you're not the type to go by the book. You constantly defy rules and people's assumptions about you. You're down to hang out with anyone, regardless of their "social status," and you don't care about how you might be perceived. People think you're a bit mysterious. Yes, you might have a guard up, but that's because you have been hurt in the past and want to protect your heart.

You Are Simon: The Edgy and Quiet Kid

You are reserved in real life but come out of your shell online. You turn to chat boards for advice instead of friends and family. Though you know all about the latest runway fad or TikTok dance, you're not one to follow trends. Instead, you have your own unique style. Sure, you like keeping tabs on your classmates (and occasionally indulge in the latest gossip), but you remain fiercely loyal to your inner circle.
