I don't remember if it's Zach or Zack... for me he's ginger asshat.

Oh, you mean this wannabe friend whose very existence is a gross misconstruction of evolution?

 

[Kaskaze]

I agree with you. Either your theory or Zach could also bait the MC into swinging on him before the MC tells everyone about Zach's betrayal (as our MC and the game is a telenovela of bad communication for drama's sake). This will get the MC into trouble with the ladies and the school administration.

Damn, but we're collecting Adrianna points. Maybe this will be a factor that won't get us into bigger trouble or we'll be seen as that good guy in school.

There's Adriana points and also "good student" points, both could influence a suspension vs "that's not good MC, please apologize".
Zack also has his points table, which does absolutely nothing so far... maybe it will change how he behaves towards the MC in the next encounter (and in the future).

Adriana points increase her affection/approval(?) towards MC. During the dinner if you have enough she will stroke his hair as she walk by but I don't think there is any romantic intent behind it. And iirc you can only get enough on the Lexi path (citation needed)... never managed on the Layla one.

I'd happily take the trip to the Principal's office(and the girls being "WTF?") if that's the price for knocking the ginger asshat on his ass.

That's good, Ethan decides to take revenge and shoots at the MC... Zach protects the MC from the bullet with his body.
I'd put naked pictures of Gabi, Val, Layla and Erynn in his pocket so he can jerk off in hell.

Just a punch to Zach's face? You've gone soft man ...

One can only hope that our MC is (finally) smart enough to stay out of Zach's way.

Unfortunately, that won't happen; we know NYX's spelling...

Catastrophe is inevitable!

This is why Im a member of the short hair gang, long haired Iris wouldn't dare

whatabout bald?

whatabout bald?

That one comes with a nice straitjacket, and some people are into that.

whatabout bald?

With the right circumstances XD

 

[DIKHammer]

I have a feeling we won't get a chance to hit Zach. Somehow that asshole will get away with it and MC will forgive him

We better be able to at least humiliate the fuck out of him if not beat the shit out of him.

Piece of shit deserves the same treatment MC and Nathan gave the A Manual and his crew of douches

Save it for Ethan. With Zach, it's our own fault fer being friends with an antisocial idiot. I think he was conned by Ethan, and might come back around.

Zach burned that bridge, fuck both of them

I know this is an unpopular opinion here, but I don't hate Zach as much as a lot of people do. He's really just dumb and horny and trying too hard. I could see a redemption arc for him if done right (which I agree would be hard to do). Ethan is the irredeemable douchenozzle, and Zach is just a dupe. Ethan manipulated his jealousy and frustration and thirsty "nice guy" tendencies.

All valid points but he still deserves to have his ass kicked at least. He's not going to believe the MC's word about Ethan even if we get the opportunity. He will have to witness what he's truly like first hand. Then maybe we can get some kind of redemption, if he helps Erynn in some way.
He's still not someone that I want the MC being friends with though, even if he does redeem himself. The sooner that Nathan comes to Madison Springs the better.

Yeah, he's going to have to do something big to redeem himself to me. Something like stopping Ethan raping/assaulting/blackmailing a girl. Or helping to destroy Ethan's video of Erynn.

A 'my bad, dude' is not going to cut it.

Hurry up Nathan.

Yes, these are both the kind of thing that I'd accept as "earning" a redeption arc, or at least steps along the way. It wouldn't even have to be specific to Erynn, IMO. Maybe he sees Ethan creeping on other models and blackmailing or otherwise compelling them to do things they don't want to do and Zach intervenes to protect them, or maybe Ethan goes too far in planning revenge and Zach has a wake-up call of "hang on, I don't actually want this" and stops going along or tips off the MC with a warning. I don't know what it would look like exactly, but I do think redemption is possible.

I think Val is a possible lynchpin here, as Ethan kidnapping her and offering her to Zach is either going to make or break Zach. He'll either realize what a shit Ethan is (doubtful) and hate him for hurting "his" girl (possible), or go full Sith disciple and make things worse (like he does).
