Freaky Freshmen
In Chapter 6: The Upper-classmen, he is first seen sitting next to Jeffrey and Alex in their Physical Science Classroom talking about his girlfriend Lizzy Coble. He is later seen in the hall hugging her and soon after sitting next to her at Lunch along with Olivia, Jack, and Lindsay talking about Jeffrey. He later is still seen sitting with them when Makenzie walks up to them and she hugs him.

In Chapter 9: Cougar Clubs, he is seen in the Cougar Cafe working with Olivia, Daniel, Andrea, and Zach. Olivia tells him and the others they are doing a great job as she talks to Andrea about her boyfriend. Dawn comes in and asks them what they're talking about. Kyle tells her that it's girl stuff that she wouldn't understand. She gets angry by this and asks him to repeat what he just said. He says it was nothing and backs away getting all scared, but laughing about it at the same time.

In Chapter 14: Detention Hall, he is seen in his 3rd Period Class with Kenzie, Blake, and Zach while Kenzie stresses out about volunteering work. The three try to help her come up with ideas, and he is later seen with her after school, volunteering at the Canby Humane Society.

In Chapter 23: I'm Not Alone, he is seen walking in the hallway with Lizzy and Lindsay when Lindsay tells them they're the "lovely couple she loves so much". Lindsay also tells him she got the part of Gabriella in the Fall Play, High School Musical and he congratulates her. After this, she walks off to class and Lizzy tells him that she wants to do something. When he asks her what, she suggests that they go out to eat for dinner and then go back to her place and have some deep conversations and they make a plan. Later in the chapter, they are seen in Chad's car, along with Alex, Chad, and Olivia after coming back to eat dinner at Denny's. The five of them talk about relationships for a bit and after Alex says he believes every couple should go at their own pace, Kyle tells Alex he doesn't know what he's saying because he's never been in a relationship to know for himself. After Chad and Olivia drop them all off, Alex walks home and Kyle and Lizzy start having their deep conversations. It is here that Kyle mentions he was previously abused by his dad when he was younger and Lizzy reveals that the strict and over-protective she says now were not the parents she was born with and that she was adopted by them. The two then keep having more deep conversations about themselves to each other and after Kyle walks home when the two say goodnight, the chapter ends here.
