*"I know you've gotten really close to your friends here... But I've known you since we were little kids. You think I'd forget of all of **that** for something like this?"* - Arjun to Kaitlyn in *Book 2*, *Chapter 9*.

Kaitlyn is Arjun's childhood friend. They share a very close bond, which is why Arjun is upset that Kaitlyn couldn't trust him enough to come out to him. They went to high school together, and at the time she was a sophomore, he was a senior. If you ask Kaitlyn if she ever ended up dating him, she reveals that they kissed once. When she is anxious about going to the ballet with him and her parents, knowing full well that they are trying to matchmake her with Arjun, he tells her that he supports her and he'll do whatever he can to keep their visit from getting weird.
