Lisette Thomas – 17 years old, Lisette is your typical small town girl from Alliance, Nebraska. She’s engaged to her high school sweetheart. She’s going to school for education, and plans to settle in the same town she’s always lived in, married to her love and raising a family. However, as the semester rolls on, she finds herself meeting new people, visiting new places, and yearning for something more.
Cassandra Lynch – 18 years old, Cassandra has it all. Born and raised for the big city life, she knows what she wants and no one is going to get in her way. From what she wears to how she reacts to any situation, Lisette couldn’t have gotten a more complete opposite. But there’s something to be said for the adage “opposites attract.” Will Cassandra prove to be an ally for Lisette or is she determined to make the year as miserable as possible?
Kyle Laugherty - 17 years old, Lisette's fiance and high school sweetheart. He stayed at home to get his mechanic's certificate, with plans of taking over his father’s business. He’s been true to Lisette, but things have changed between them since she went to college. When a new girl from the city moves into town, he finds himself wondering if what everyone expects is necessarily what he wants.
Adam Marshall - 20 years old and a one-semester exchange student from the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. Wanting a taste of the United States off the beaten trail, he’s come to Kansas State University for a bit of Midwestern living. Too bad no one told him how boring it’d be. Thankfully, he manages to find some fun in the form of a shy freshman. What starts off as a game turns to something more serious, however, and he finds himself wondering if he’s gotten in over his head.
Allison Mitchells - 17 years old, she’s got her sights set on being the future teacher of the year in Kansas. She suddenly questions her sexuality when she meets a fellow freshman classmate. Despite struggling to come to terms with obviously unrequited feelings, she is one of Lisette’s closest friends. She has brown hair and eyes, and is a little short and stocky. She has esteem issues, but keeps them to herself. She acts stronger than she feels, and spends most of her time in her mind.
Maggie Streuden - 18 years old, she’s a happy-go-lucky shore girl, dislocated from home and the beach. Totally boy crazy, with bleached blond hair, always styled in loose curls, it’s a wonder she became friends with Lisette so easily. She's average height, and average build, but dresses to flaunt what she does have. She's outwardly dense, but can be surprisingly insightful when you get her to stop talking about that cute guy she saw.
Michael Choi - 18 years old and the last of Lisette's core group of friends. A proud metrosexual, Michael’s a self-proclaimed ladies man with charm, class, and charisma to lend. Suprisingly, he’s more often than not the voice of reason for his friends. When he’s not the one causing the trouble anyway.
