Like for the character Summer, she decided to sit with August and the fact that she did it out of the kindness in her heart and no adult asked her to be amazing. The character Jake, he had started hanging out with August and saw how funny, kind, and smart he was, so they became very close friends and at first, he chose popularity, but then he started to realize he missed August so, in the end, he chose August over being popular.
