Overview

Lakeside College Preparatory High School is a charter school located in an unspecified town in New York that educates students in ninth through twelfth grade. It was established in 2014 by school board president Dr. Raymond Q. Brinkwater. The school is unofficially led by his daughter, Rosalyn Brinkwater.

The campus is meant to resemble that of a college or university, with class subjects being divided into various buildings the students would travel in and out of to learn. This was done with the intention to simulate university life.

History

Lakeside was first conceptualized in 2010 by Dr .Brinkwater as his first project on the school board. Dr. Brinkwater theorized that the jump between high school and college was too jarring and students who weren't properly prepared for high school would fall through the cracks. Therefore, he wanted to design a school that functions like a university, but there's a lot more safeguards involved. As the students age through the system, those safeguards are gradually removed to help the student gain the independence needed for college.

As of 2015, Lakeside houses over 100 students from all over the district.

Rosalyn's Friend Group

Anastasia Edwards

Annie is Rosalyn's childhood friend. They met in preschool and have been inseparable ever since. Annie is fiercely protective of Rosalyn and would do anything to keep her away from the people who hurt her. (Which is why she's initially wary of Ace when he transfers to Rosalyn's school, even more so when Rosalyn befriends him again and eventually becomes his girlfriend). She went to Berry High with Rosalyn and stayed there for part of her junior year before she transferred to Lakeside to be with Rosalyn. She used to have a crush on Rosalyn but got over it and started dating someone else.

Mia Warren

Mia was initially antagonistic towards Rosalyn and her friends. However, when it came out that Mia was helping the Lakeside students avoid Hearst High's pranks, Rosalyn let her enroll at Lakeside. She helps Mia make amends with the people she hurt back at Hearst and eventually became good friends with them. Out of all Rosalyn's friends, Mia is the closest to Rosalyn due to their love of shopping and similar personalities. Rosalyn considers Mia like a little sister to her (much to Max's chagrin).

Payton Saunders

Payton befriends Rosalyn after she helps Rosalyn throw a party at her school. The two are typically seen shopping together. At parties, one is rarely seen without the other (unless one of them is playing Seven Minutes in Heaven, that's an exception).

Wes Porter

Rosalyn initially didn't trust Wes, even when she had him enrolled in her school. But the more time they spent together, the more Rosalyn got to know Wes. Wes is typically the one who checks on Rosalyn the most when she's feeling down.

Bartholomew "Ace" De La Cruz

Ace used to be her campaign manager and senior advisor when Rosalyn ran for student district council. They worked together as close allies before someone from Lakeside Prep won the national internship Ace was working for. As revenge, he tried to get Rosalyn's school closed down but Rosalyn manages to talk him out of it. This came at the cost of Ace getting a district wide expulsion. He was set to be sent to a boarding school in Manila but Rosalyn decides to let Ace enroll at Lakeside Prep. The two have been working on repairing their relationship and eventually started dating months later. Since they've started dating, Ace is incredibly doting on Rosalyn. She adores him too.
