Layla is the main character of the story. She is a clumsy, quirky girl who manages to get everybody's attention. This explains why she has an entourage of friends at almost all times.
(hysterical) What?! This isn't a joke?! I am rooming with two boys?!
Strong words for a boy who is in his bunny slippers.
Gabriel? Diego? Anybody home?
Gabriel is one of Layla's roommates. Madly in love with Layla. He is outgoing, flirty, overprotective and always speaks his mind. Everyone can feel safe in his and Diego's company.
(Blushing) What do you mean?! This is my room, I can walk however I want to!
(Aggressive) Don't you lay a finger on her.
(Sigh) You know, I can be next to you in such moments...
David is a student at Layla's school who also works as a barista on campus. He is very good with computers and turns out to be an old online friend of Layla. One of the 4 boys who fall for Layla.
You seem to be off today, what's up?
Let me guess, the ususal?
(Flirty) We can arrange that. *laughs*
Gabriel's best friend and Layla's second roommate. He is madly in Love with Layla. A shy guy, who rarely makes a scene or clearly expresses his emotions.
What are we gonna do, bro? We promised ourselves that we would never fight over a girl...
(blushing) L-Luna... I don't think we have ever been this close...
That's it, we're coming over!
Luna is Layla's best friend at her new school. She is a very supportive girl, who puts her friends before anything. Eventually falls in love with Layla.
(Laughs) Oh, boy, we should have nights like these more often! How about a girls’ night next week? Y-you know… Just the two of us...
Girl, you won’t believe what happened!
(Angry) Layla. Talk. Now. Outside.
Naomi is Layla's roommate once she moves to the girls' dorm. She has a similar personality to Layla, therefore they are perfect for friends. Despite her big heart, she can get very serious when needed.
(Cheerful) Hi new roommate! It's so nice to meet you!
Duh, who do you think helped them?
Bestie, that outfit is fire!
Justin is a model. His dad is the principal, therefore he has his own building as a dorm. Despite appearing like a spoiled jock, he is actually a very nice guy with a kind heart who is willing to help anyone in need. One of the 4 boys who fall for Layla.
Hey, wanna come over to my party tonight?
(Angry) Now is the time to choose, dad! Your son or the manipulative girl who got expelled for violent behavior?
(Blushing, cheerful) I made sandwiches for us!
Olivia is a cruel, manipulative girl. She has a crush on Justin. Once she sees that there are some sparks between him and Layla, she is quick to try to destroy her life.
Well, well, well, look what your lies led to!
(Manipulative, "sad") P-please, Mr. Principal, Layla is a bully! She started hitting me...
(Annoyed) Ok, I'm out, let me listen to some Dua Lipa.
Jessica is Diego's potential love interest halfway throughout the story. Despite being unsure of her feeling for Diego, Layla gets jealous of her, which causes her to dislike Jessica.
(Giggles) That means a lot coming from you.
(Angry) No need to explain, I think I saw enough!
(Annoyed) Do you have feelings for him? No! Then what the hell are you doing near our relationship?
Mia is Tia's twin. Halfway through the story, the school goes on a camping trip. Mia and Tia are in charge of watching over the students, despite being the same age as them. A very serious girl. Their only visual difference is their eye color.
(Worried) Tia, don't let dad find out!
Well, it's not the first time someone has gotten drunk here.
(Strict) What do you think you're doing?
Tia is Mia's twin. She is in charge of watching over the students once they go on a camping trip. Unlike her sister, she is an airhead and far more chill when it comes to rules. Their only visual difference is their eye color.
(Laughs) You aren't seeing double! We are actually twins!
Come on, sis, let loose for once!
(Teasing) Do you remember what happened last summer?
A protective mother. Despite not appearing in every episode, she plays a very crucial part of the story. Gets in a relationship with the school's headmaster.
Honey, you forgot your breakfast-
(Worried) You promised me you would call every evening!
(Angry) Don't speak to my daughter in such a manner!
(Preferable to have a manly voice for this role). Like Layla's mom, he plays an important part in the story. The father of Justin. Easily manipulated.
I apologize on behalf of the school's administartion.
(Calm) I suppose we could do that.
(Scared) You wouldn't do that...
Extras are very minor characters who appear in episodes. Please do not neglect this role!
(Student) May I go to the toilet?
(Waiter) The bill is 100$.
(Teacher) Do not run in the hallways!
