As suggested by our shared adoptive parent Botchmun, I checked out your characters and have a few ideas:
- Oluremi & Freyja: Friends/Influence: Because they are in the same grade so will probably see each other from time to time, even though they are in different classes. What makes this interesting is the fact that Remi thinks everyone should have friends and Freyja thinks friends are a waste of time and rarely bothers to make them. Remi could actually be a positive influence on her.
- Afolabi-Soies & Sinclairs: Family friends (or 'frenemies?') : The Afolabi-Soies and the Sinclairs are two of not very many full families on the island, and that might entice Deana to ask them to come for dinner or something similar (especially if they live close-by) because she wants to make friends. However, a lot of their personalities are different or even clashing, so depending on the situation they could turn out to be in an uneasy dislike of each other.
- Avatia & Nova: Friends: They're both Aliens and Nova has a more extroverted personality, making her more likely to approach others. Also, she loves excitement! They are two years apart if that is a problem at all though.
- Arjean & Freyja: Role Model?: Believe it or not, Freyja is actually good aligned, even if her measures are extreme. She could teach Arjean a few tricks, if she wanted.
