At the school she meets Julian, a very outgoing athlete, and Payton, a peppy fashionista, both of who she becomes fast friends with. But, she quickly develops a rivalry when she meets Mia, a stuck up popular cheerleader who's dad owns the school. The show follows Autumn, Julian, and Payton as they navigate the halls of Heist High and it's many cliques including jocks, nerds, slackers, and cheerleaders. Accompanying them from time to time is Wes, a slacker dude, Nishan, a nerd, and Sakura, a gamer girl.

This series was created by Jessie1010 who based it off the game by Pixelberry, who was more than happy to allow Wiki Channel the rights to make this show. Jessie1010 is very excited to be working on this show stating, "I love the game High School Story so much and the characters are so likeable and relatable and you always wanted to know more about them and their lives. So I thought, hey, a TV show based off these characters would be very entertaining for our viewers!"

Jessie1010 went on to say, "This is going to be a show kids can relate to. They'll be traveling on this high school journey with these characters and I'm very excited for them all to see how they progress at Heist High and to see the new characters they're going to meet. In the game, High School Story, the characters are classified by cliques. There are various cliques that a character can be apart of such as preps, jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, slackers, etc. I'm definitely going to bring this into the plot. It gives me a lot of oppurtunities for some fun characters!"

Payton is adopted herself so she likes to make sure animals have a home just like she was given one.
 * Mia Versonsky (voiced by Lydia Robinson) - Mia is a very popular and attractive cheerleader who some may say is also a bit stuck up. Mia is the daughter of Principal Veronsky so she often easily gets by and can do anything she wants in school. Mia even has a group of cheerleader friends who follow her around and act as her sidekicks. But, when Autumn shows up at Heist, Mia fears that her popular status might be overshadowed by Autumn because not only is she fiercly confident but she's smart and pretty! Mia is very jealous of Autumn and often butts heads with her. Mia will do anything to get what she wants. But even though Mia and Autumn may not have the best relationship, they do sometimes get along and when they do, something great always comes out of it!
 * Wes Walker (voiced by Eric Fields) - Wes is slacker dude who is very laid back and rebellious. He got kicked out of his old school in the middle of his freshman year and then came to Heist. He's also old friends with Autumn. The two haven't talked in a long time and Wes is very surprised to see Autumn on her first day. Throughout the series, the two rebuild their friendship and who knows, they might even rediscover some old feelings they once had for each other. On his downtime, which is usually all the time, Wes likes to skateboard and play video games. Wes is also good friends with Julian and likes to hang out with him, Payton, and Autumn.


 * Nishan Gupta (voiced by Joseph Brandon) - Nishan is a nerdy boy who is a fan of science and math. Even though he is very quirky and geeky, he is a very sweet guy and always cares about others. Nishan also has a very fashionable sense of style which comes to show throughout the series. He is friends with Autumn, Payton, Wes, and Sakura.


 * Sakura Henson (voiced by Karli James) - Sakura is a fiesty gamer girl and step sister of Mia. The complete opposite of Mia, Sakura has bright pink hair, loves to play video games, and is more into boyish things. Sakura hates most things girly and also hates stuck up, rude people -- people much like her sister. Mia avoids Sakura as much as possible and not many people know they are sisters but that's completely fine with Sakura. To her, she'd rather not be known to be related to Mia. Sakura is also more on the independent side and even though Autumn and her friends are nice to her, she'd rather spend her time playing video games than hanging out.
