Mini

Mini is the Queen Bee at Roundview, right? But she’s feeling under threat when Grace brings her new bf Franky to the charity fashion show meeting. What to do, hmmmm? She ends up sacking them both, she hasn’t time for 'friends' like Grace. Despite appearances, her relationship with Nick isn't the idyllic power partnership everyone might think it is. In short, Nick doesn't want to wait for sex. Mini struggles to keep control while Liv is typically reckless. How will Mini keep it all together? Will she manage to keep her spot at the top?

She meets a boy called Matty, and they take a day out of reality with no consequences or commitments. When they break the law they decide to run away together. Matty has a secret - he is Nick's estranged brother. After rejecting him, Liv acknowledges her need for a real relationship and takes a chance on a boy who no-one believes in.

Nick

Nick Levan – rugby captain, super-smart dresser, hot queen-bee gfriend… on the surface he seems to have everything and to the untrained eye, he’s the star of Roundview. Enter that pesky Matty – his reappearance has unsettled Nick and as he watches Matty slip effortlessly into new friendships, old wounds are re-opened. Nick realises that everything he thought he wanted - the approval of his father and the rugby success - is crushing him. Time to think again… but where will he turn? Mini? New mates? Old flames?

Alo

By now, we all know what makes Alo tick - partying and the idea of getting laid, right? So it's not all that surprising that he gets a little fed up with his boring life on Creevey Farm. He heads to the city to 'indulge' his passions. His parents (jeez, it's always the ruddy parents!), fed up with his behaviour, remove him from college in an attempt to force him to buckle down on the farm. But Alo rebels and hosts the party to end all parties. The idea is to show his parents that he knows best, but something happens that makes Alo reassess things... ooo, the mystery!
