Failed relationships

Jeffery Woods and Nina Hopkins
Theme song: 'Daddy Issues' - The Neighborhood
Tropes:

- friends to lovers
- bubbly x slightly annoyed by it
- right person, wrong time

Who fell first: both
Who fell harder: Nina
Pet names:
- Jeff called Nina babe, baby, princess, and sunshine

Confession:
Nina wrote Jeff a love letter.
Fun facts:
- They were together for over a year before Jeff ran away from home.
- They met when they were both 8, when Nina first moved to town. They were friends for years before they started dating at age 12. Nina was one of the only people at school who didn't see Jeff as a freak.
- When they started dating, Liu disapproved because of how protective he was over Jeff. But with some convincing, he "allowed" Jeff and Nina to continue dating.
- While Jeff was an introvert, Nina was an extrovert. Pri often tried convincing her friends to like Jeff, but they kept bullying him. Nina still kept dating him nonetheless and didn't care what their friends thought.
- Jeff often got embarrassed when Nina was extra affectionate with him, but at the end of the day, he just wasn't used to it (of course, Liu was affectionate with him, but Nina was on a whole new level).
- Nina gave Jeff a diary for his 12th birthday. He used it up until he ran away.
- Like pri now does with Painter, Nina liked poking Jeff's cheek and giving him love bites.
- They sometimes gave each other hickies just for fun. Liu was furious when he first found out, but Jeff was quick to assure him that they weren't having sex.
- Ben was basically their third wheel.
- Jeff sometimes tried to pick Nina up, but he usually failed.
- Whenever Jeff got another bruise, Nina would always kiss it.
- Nina sometimes practiced their makeup skills on Jeff. Jeff dreaded it, but he was never forceful about not taking part in it.
- They liked doing karaoke together.
- Jeff secretly loved it when Nina sat in his lap.
- Because they were dating, Jeff always got free drinks at Nina's mom's coffee shop.

Randy and Brittany Winchester
Theme song: 'Washing Machine Heart' - Mitski
Tropes:
- wrong person
- one-sided love
- afraid to commit
- affectionate x hesitant
Healthy or toxic: rocky
Who fell first: Brittany
Who fell harder: Brittany
Pet names:
- Randy called Brittany babe
- Brittany called Randy babe, baby, and handsome
Confession:
Brittany: "I think you're really cute. Wanna go out?"
Randy: ". . . Y'know what? Why not?"
Fun facts:
- They dated for five months when Randy was in his junior year and Brittany was in its freshman year.
- Randy never really loved Brittany - he wanted to, but in the end, he was only using their relationship to try and suppress his feelings for Keith. Truth be told, he found her a little annoying, but he never said it to its face.
- As it often happens with first love, Brittany was convinced that Randy was the one she was going to marry one day. She was also pretty clingy, because it wanted attention after a life of being used and neglected. She even tried pushing Randy away from his friends, none of whom approved of it. She also bullied Keith behind Randy's back because it knew he had a crush on him.
- When Randy and Brittany first started dating, Randy's mother was concerned that Randy was only using Brittany for its money, which Randy swore he wasn't. Likewise, Brittany's mother forbade the relationship because Randy and his family were poor, so Brittany had to keep seeing Randy without its mom's knowledge.
- It didn't take long for Randy to realize that Brittany was very insecure and didn't eat a lot. He tried to help her as best he could, even splitting his school lunches with her sometimes, but it was never really enough.
- Brittany turned 15 while they were dating. To celebrate, Randy took her out and gave her a bunch of candy, but Brittany hardly ate any of it.
- One time, when Brittany had snuck Randy into her mother's house, she asked him to come into its bathroom to talk to her. When Randy entered, he found Brittany completely bare-chested, and he freaked out. He thought she was trying to get sexual with him, but instead, Brittany asked him if he thought its breasts were too small. Randy's response was, "Boobs are boobs no matter the size."
- Brittany often gave Randy expensive gifts. When they broke up, Randy gave back one of them, a watch.
- The night Brittany finally realized that Randy didn't love it, Randy had called her drunk in the early morning and asked her to pick him up. Brittany had her butler Sean Luke drive it to the location, and Randy stumbled out of a club he had snuck into with a fake ID. He kissed her, and for a moment, Brittany was charmed until Randy said, "Thanks for the ride, Keith." Brittany didn't say a word for the rest of the incident and cried itself to sleep when she got home.

Liu Woods and Keith
Theme song: 'Teeth' - 5 Seconds of Summer
Tropes:
- fling
- fake relationship
- frenemies
- intoxicated hookup
- one-sided love
Healthy or toxic: toxic
Who fell first: Liu
Who fell harder: Liu
Pet names:
- Liu called Keith babe and baby
- Keith didn't use pet names
Confession:
Liu: "I'm in love with you, you fucking idiot!"
Keith: ". . . I . . . I'm sorry, Liu."
Fun facts:
- Even though Liu was in Randy's gang, Keith was the only one who actually cared about him. He was also the only one who knew about Liu's home life, as Liu thought the others simply wouldn't care. Likewise, Liu was the only one in the gang at the time who knew what Keith's mom was doing to him.
- They dated for a month, and although their relationship was supposed to be fake so Keith could make Randy jealous, Liu actually developed feelings. It was unintentional, but Keith was being selfish and only focusing on his own goal: getting Randy to dump Brittany.
- Their relationship mostly involved venting to each other and having sex. The first time they did the deed was four days before they "officially" announced their relationship: they were at Lyra's house and they had done the nasty while high.
- Liu bought Keith a few things from Hot Topic, and while Keith didn't want to accept them, Liu insisted that he just wanted to do something nice for him.
- Two weeks after they started dating, Liu was an accidental witness to Keith getting assaulted by his mother. They were hanging out at Keith's place, and Keith saw his mom pull into the driveway and told Liu to hide in the closet. Odessa entered Keith's room, and Liu was forced to watch in horror as Keith was taken advantage of (he had to cover his mouth to keep himself from throwing up). When Odessa left, Liu left the closet and tried to comfort a sobbing Keith as best he could. They had a long talk afterwards, and Keith made Liu promise not to tell anyone. Eventually, Liu caved and told Lyra.
- The night Randy went to the club, Liu, Keith, and Troy were there, too. Like Randy, Liu and Keith both got roaring drunk, and Liu actually tried to confess his feelings. But as he was pouring his heart out, Randy shoved Liu out of the way, grabbed Keith, and the two started making out against the wall. None of them remember what happened that night, and Troy chose to carry the secret to his grave - literally.
- Even after their realtionship, Keith still wanted to be friends, as Liu had been there for Keith and he didn't want to lose him. Liu agreed, but their friendship wasn't very tight and it completely fell apart after Jeff's accident.

- The two of them met through their older sisters, Lyra and Winona, who were friends at the time. At first, Troy thought Toby was a freak, but he began to find them attractive.
- The only reason Toby dated Troy was because they liked having someone other than their mom and sister wrapped around his little finger.
- Of course, Toby was extremely manipulative. Every time Troy would start to pull away, Toby would gaslight him.
- Troy's friends greatly disapproved of his relationship with Toby. Apart from seeing Toby as a weirdo, they could see how Toby's behavior was affecting Troy's mood.
