Seventeen-year-old Taylor was born and raised in sunny San Clemente, Calif., which is probably why she is extremely athletic. She loves to surf, snowboard and play soccer. In fact, she recently made the high school soccer team. When Taylor is not on the beach or playing sports, you can find her hanging out with her friends or leaning on her close-knit family for support.
Already 18 years old, Casey is Ryan's best friend and the oldest of their group of friends. Casey just graduated from high school and not only has to deal with growing up and heading off to college but also his parents' recent divorce. In a weird coincidence, Casey's and Ryan's parents got divorced on the same day, an event that cemented their friendship. The dramatic changes in their family lives hit both of them hard, but Casey and Ryan lean on each other to soften the blow of their shared experience.
Of all of Ryan's friends, Tony stands out the most. He's outspoken and always wants to be the center of attention. Tony has a flair for the dramatic and he and Ryan are very competitive. Like his friends, Tony grew up in San Clemente, Calif., and plans to stay in Southern California for the foreseeable future. He spends his free time skateboarding, and he is also a gifted basketball player.
