The Alejandro being kicked down a volcano, trampled on, and burned is in fact taken seriously

As in, it still affects him both physically and mentally

So is Heather being involved in it- on both sides

Both of them try to ignore it and brush past it at first but there is the underlying tension that causes anything that might have been there to deteriorate on account of neither of them acknowledging it

Something that Alejandro partially blames his class position on, it's just another example of his failures

But at the same time, he doesn't feel like he deserves to be in the bottom class because he did place second in the only season he was in

So it's a mix of the thing with Heather, a really rocky (like disowned all but verbally) relationship with his family, and feeling like he deserves more that solidifies his decision to gather the points to transfer to Class A

His family takes the role of antagonists in the first act

Basically every person Alejandro helps not only helps him grow closer with that person and gets him to grow a bond and care about them, but it also gets him to reflect on himself and how he views things

For instance, Sadie and body image, Trent and mental health, Anne Maria and relationships, Zeke and family, Eva and innate anger etc etc

Mal is in fact the main antagonist for the first two acts, taking a back burner in the first one, but there are genuine reasons other than just 'bad personality', he ends up playing a key role in (at first) at least a quarter of the class' problems

Namely Neha's- that's right! For what I think is the first official time on my account, Stalker Mal takes up an important role in an au and not just something in the background!

Neha and Mal have history, like he stalked her and she's the reason he got sent to Juvie history, adding in a dash of a previous toxic relationship that only half sees as over forever, the other half is trying to rekindle

He's also the reason she dons the 'Noah' disguise, her family was the one who signed her up to the show to try and bring her out of her shell more but she was unnerved (not that she'd admit it) at the thought of Mal finding out where she is incase he got let out early

Unfortunately for her, he did in fact recognise her despite the disguise and was the alter who originally signed up to the show, with Mike receiving the invitation to reapply months later

So yeah, Neha starts the year off ready to reveal the truth to the rest of the OG contestants after feeling somewhat comfortable around them alongside with the support of Trent, but then she spots Mike and regresses hard back to season 1 levels of not participating as much as possible and avoiding people

Meanwhile Trent is still dealing with the after effects of having a mental breakdown broadcasted for laughs- he feels like no one takes him seriously anymore or sees him as a chill cool guy to be around, basically a whole bunch of imposter syndrome

Then there's also how his breakup with Gwen was portrayed and talked about, something that picked up again thanks to gwuncan in WT

Trent's also the first person Alejandro officially helps out because he's the class president and even if he doesn't see it, their classmates do respect him which would help in motivating them so Alejandro can get the points needed to move up

Feral Zeke was due to a medical issue that has been (mostly) resolved although he is on medication for it

His family was super old fashioned and religious though and don't believe in or agree with modern medicine

Blaineley has a whole backstory where she wanted to be a serious reporter but the industry chewed her up and spat her out so she doesn't even try anymore, something that's reflected in her initial unwillingness to teach or participate or even help them

Alenoah re-befriend each other pretty early on (mainly thanks to Trent being super concerned) and at the beginning of the year form a group of four: Neha, Trent, Alejandro, and Eva

Eva is dealing with her want to be a leader never properly being fulfilled, alongside (nearly) everyone only ever seeing her as an aggressive brute, fans and castmates alike

Tyler and Brick also form a friendship pretty early on, they work out together and use the sports facilities often

Aleheather officially goes to the point of no return at the end of the first act, making way for alenoah and lesheather

Due to being in the same class their friendship rekindles and so does the eventual romance!

Fellas, is it love for someone who’s only given affection for awhile to finally receive it from someone they’d been opposed to from the last two seasons of a show they’ve both been subjected to?
