Rory is a girl who just turned 12 and always fades into the background. She's very ambitious, because she auditioned for a movie as an extra with Jake Harrison, a famous movie star, even though every one is speechless when they see him. Also, she made a list of everything she wants to do when she is 12. She often gets confused with the "boy Rory" because she does not stand out enough for people to remember her. She has very few close friends so she does not hang out with people that much, and isn't active in any after school activites.
Annabelle

Annabelle is Rory's best friend, who is always thinking the best of people. For instance, when she was at the mall with Rory, some girls led them into an elevator that didn't work, while they were smirking and giggling. When they got out, Annabelle wanted to tell the girls that the elevator didn't work, so they wouldn't get stuck. She is the risk taker in their friendship. This is because she got Rory to audition to be an extra in "Playing it Cool", the movie being shot at their school. She is very girly, unlike Rory, so she balances out the friendship. She is very outgoing, and knows how to stand out in a crowd. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her; she is her own person.
Sari

Sari is Rory's second closest friend. Sari is the more normal person of the friendship, with normal parents. Sari is also girly, so she often has talks with Annabelle that Rory can't take part in. Sari is easily starstruck. When saw Jake at the diner, she almost fainted. Rory, Sari and Annabelle all are extremely anxious to meet Jake Harrison. Sari also has an advanced sense of style, so as a result she got to work in the hair and makeup trailer on the movie set.
Jake Harrison

Jake Harrison is a celebrity that everyone looks up to, and he often has people speechless. He is starring in the new movie being shot at Rory's school, along with Madison Waters. Jake is the amiable one, while Madison is detestable, because of the way she manages and carries herself. When he is in the hall, he takes the time to smile at people that he may not even know. He often jokes around with Rory about her numerous minor injuries she endures in the duration of the novel.
