Jake is Layne’s only close friend when she first comes to Batwing High. Jake, like Layne, is unpopular and doesn’t like talking to people very much. Jake was put in Level 4 like Layne, and has all the same classes. Jake comes from one of the families who have attended Batwing High from the very beginning, and his parents have already decided that they want him to date Lila, who also comes from one of those families. Mostly, Jake is more interested in doing well in school than making friends, but he is curious to get to know Layne because of her unusual background.

Lila is one of the most popular girls at Batwing High. Lila is mostly interested in making sure that she always knows what is cool and which people are too weird for her to hang out with. Lila is very disappointed to have Layne as her roommate, because according to her Layne is the definition of uncool. Lila can read minds, but for some reason she can’t hear Layne’s thoughts, this annoys her.

Jenny is not in most of the book, but she is still a very important character. She has a necklace that looks exactly like Layne’s, it was a gift she got from her girlfriend Leah and she went missing soon after getting it. Jenny is introduced near the end of the book, once Layne has been taken to the villain’s lair, where both of them are held prisoner.
