Relationships with other characters:

1. Deckard: -- her relationship with deckard is so cute, when deckard joint the school in year 10, he didn't exactly have loads of friends, but keira talked to him once in a while and they realized that their dads play tennis together, and they both love tennis too, so they decided to go along and now they play tennis every saturday 9-11, and have done for about a year.  she sees deckard as a brother, and she looks after him. Before year 11, they only really spoke during tennis, so when they were put into the same science group, they were really happy and are actually really close now.
2. Andrew: --  babbyyyy, so andrew is keiras on/off boyfriend's bestfriend (lol) so they're pretty close?? i wanted their friendship to be loosely like isak and eva's from skam, so they only really hang out when they're both with marshall???? they're all in the same form at school, so keira and andrew can talk during form time if andrews not talking to marshall. ALSO keira and andrew have the same surname, (which is a coincidence, theres not gonna b some plot arc where it turns out they're actually related i hate those storylines no THANKS) 
3. Marshall: -- They've been mutual friends since year 7, and they actually began talking to each other in year 10, where they started dating. They suit eachother so WELL like??? they're perfect? they took a break during feb because keira felt it was going too fast and they were only 15 so she was like NOPE sorry this is illegal and they took a break, but they began dating again in like april and then took another break halfway through summer, going into year 11 still on their break. keira doesn't want to officially break up with marshall, because she just wants to get good gcse grades and go to college, and then date marshall again. she seems to want the same thing too but they haven't spoken since they too their break during summer
4. Eleanor: -- eleanor is keira's best friend and they've known each other since year 7. eleanor isn't really very good at science or maths so is in a few sets lower than keira, but is excellent at english so they have english together.
