## Relationships

### Romances

#### Anastasia Allen

When he first met Stassie, there was an immediate attraction, and then they hooked up at his best friend's birthday party, and then again celebrating at a nightclub, and when they hooked up the third time when there was drunken jealousy involved, they started casually seeing each other, and eventually became serious and official, after dating for two months.

Two years later, they have a dog named bunny together with a baby on the way, and get engaged on their babymoon.

### Friends

#### Robbie Hamlet

Robbie has been Nate's best friend ("personally terrorizing" him) since they were children. They met at 5 years old when Robbie's dad coached their ice hockey team, and Nate claims his been a “pain in his ass” ever since.

#### Jaiden Johal

JJ is one of Nate's best friends. JJ thoroughly enjoys messing with Nate and spends a lot of time doing it, even teaming up with Anastasia and other members of the team on occasion. He often talks about how much enjoyment he gets from messing with Nate in particular as he is so easy to rile up and always gives a satisfying reaction.

#### Henry Turner

Henry is one of Nate's best friends. Nate acts as somewhat of a mentor/older brother to Henry. He let Henry move into the apartment he shares with JJ and Robbie at the start of his sophomore year, as he hated living in the dorms and struggled to make friends outside the hockey team. Nate notes after only 3 weeks, Henry's confidence has already increased, and he now has no problem joining JJ and Robbie in roasting him.

### Family

#### Ian Hawkins

Ian Hawkins is Nate's father, who he describes as "a massive jackass” who “didn't get hugged enough as a child” and is now taking it out on his children. Nate claims he's proud that he's been disappointing his dad ever since he didn't take to skiing and instead pursued ice hockey. Nate says Mr. H (Robbie's father) has been more of a dad to him than Ian ever was.

#### Mila Hawkins

Mila Hawkins was Nate's mother, who died when he was young. He has good memories of her, and she was the one who signed him up for ice hockey as a 5-year-old.

#### Sasha Hawkins

Sasha Hawkins is Nate's younger sister. She calls him “embarrassing” and “weirdo” but seems to be grateful for his help and solidarity in dealing with their father. Nate feels bad for his sister, as she is stuck living with their dad until she is 18 and has to deal with his expectations and pressure around her skiing and neglect of her emotions and happiness.
