I think the routes for Jake & Charles must have changed since this was written, as I followed the guide exactly and it went off the rails with options that weren't accounted for. I failed both of them.
The stupidest thing is I hate most of these characters. It is bad enough having to pretend to be friends with these idiots once. Having to try and re-find the ones I failed and do them again is just painful.... and this game doesn't allow saving and restoring.

I chose the wrong option for Hoffer and didn't choose to join his committee. I don't think I have a middle school friend anymore because of that singular action. I think it was even worse that i chose 'say nothing' right after that. I messed up bad.

Thanks I have updated the guide with your suggestions <3

- Reminisce about the past

do
Scene 21:
- You are being melodramatic

-talk about future

I ended up being a travelling vetenary and Jake took me to grand canyon and we ended up marrying in Vegas

I've been trying to romance charles for a gay relationship and I think I missed something up. I think I lied to him when we first played bowling. Would that mess up the whole chance of it happening cause I did not get the chance to start the romance after the bathroom scene and when we went to play bowling he said he didnt think of me that way. Is that it finished then?

Dammit. I had Jake, Hoffer, and Vivica in the same playthrough. I didn't fully check your walkthrough for Vivica since I had her achievement. I wish I checked and paid attention to the choices so I could give you those, too :/
