Oliver King

**Oliver King** is a side-character in *The First Year, The Second Year* & *The Fourth and Final Year*. He is considered the be the 'villain' of the first two books along with his father.

Throughout the series, he is a student at Eden State University and becomes president of the Delta Gamma Fraternity. Despite originally going to graduate in the books he is arrested in the result of holding illegal activities in the fraternity and the sorority. In *The Fourth and Final Year* in Chapter 18, he appears as a guest character.

## Personality

Acting through passion, Oliver is definitely perceived as egotistical and a crybaby. Oliver is sort of a textbook antagonist of the series and is constantly out to destroy Casey and her friends' lives. He isn't scared to show his dark and malicious side which is seen thoroughly throughout The Second Year when he blackmails and outs people on the University website. Even after he is caught and locked away for all his wrongdoings he still continues to live in his delusions with no chance of coming out on top of it.

## Relationships

### Casey Stephens

When meeting Casey in Chapter 17 of *The First Year* Oliver has a clear attraction to her and tries to constantly flirt with her at the beginning. It isn't until Casey threatens him that he turns dark and horrible towards her putting her in uncomfortable situations during her time working at The Kingsley. He has a tendency to bicker and start arguments with Casey, during which he talks to her in a derogatory and condescending manner.

It is because of Casey that Oliver chooses to run for student council president in Chapter 4 of *The Second Year*, that way he can try and get her kicked out of Eden State University while he knows she is on a scholarship. Despite failing to manage to get her kicked out of the university, Oliver knows that her best friend Faye is running against him for student council president so to break down Casey he releases footage of her moment with Izzy Washington to destroy her current relationship. Luckily for Casey, Oliver is locked away because of his illegal activities in the fraternity but Oliver continues to hold a grudge and in *The Fourth and Final Year* when it is revealed about his brother Alex King avenging his honor, Oliver is the one behind the curtains whispering in his brother's ear about all of the secrets to do with Casey and the gang.

### Charlotte Cosby

Despite it being obvious that Charlotte originally only dated Oliver to get back at Casey and Hayden. Oliver takes advantage of his relationship with Charlotte. They date throughout the summer of *The First Year*, however when in *The Second Year* it's revealed that Oliver had dumped her for reasons that are soon revealed in Chapter 15. Throughout the chapter, it is told by Charlotte that she revealed to Oliver that she was a lesbian and he made fun of her as well as used a sex tape against her because he was disgusted by her reveal. With help from Casey, Charlotte is able to out Oliver on all of his wrongdoings and manipulation as he, along with the sorority and fraternity leaders are all arrested for illegal activities much to Charlotte's happiness.

### Caleb King

Despite everyone being against Oliver, his cousin Caleb seems to be the only one who doesn't exactly collide with Oliver in the worst way. In fact, Oliver has threatened and intimidated Caleb so much when they were growing up that Caleb became very tense whenever Oliver came around, which hasn't changed throughout the series.
