She is a member of the group of teenage friends in the play, and is one of the more grounded and mature students. Jill serves as the voice of reason. Benny, Jill’s shy and migraine-plagued classmate, has a crush on Jill and sits behind her in class so he can smell her hair, which he writes “smells like cupcakes” (a result of the bakery that Jill’s parents own). While Benny attributes his constant sniffing to allergies, Jill realizes that he is actually smelling her hair. unknown.

Her parents are snowed in at her grandmother’s house in Connecticut, so she takes it upon herself to drive her classmates to the Pretzel Knot for a snow-day lunch.

She is quirky and outgoing. Her defining characteristic is a glass eye that she got after her brother shot her with a BB gun when she was six.

Teenage high school student. He puts on a tough exterior, but this is mostly his acting out as a result of his mother being sick in the hospital.

Teenage high school student and one of the more withdrawn members of the friend group. He is plagued with various medical issues, including migraines, asthma, and car sickness. He also claims to have allergies, but this may well be a cover for his constant sniffing of classmate Jill’s hair.
