* Mr. and Mrs. Berger: Allison's parents, who are more open-minded and supportive of Cap's decision to go to public school.
* The "cool" kids: A group of students at Cap's new school who are initially hostile toward Cap, but some eventually become his friends.
* The teachers: Some of Cap's teachers at public school are supportive and understanding, while others are strict and unforgiving.
Other important characters:
* The other students: While not always named or fully developed, Cap's interactions with other students play a role in his journey.
