Cast and characters
Main
Isabela Moner as CJ Martin, an optimistic 12-year-old who believed that high school would be the best years of her and her best friends' lives until her brother tells her the truth: she will lose all of her friends before high school due to them liking different things. To prevent this from happening, she creates a bucket list filled with things to accomplish before high school.
Jaheem King Toombs as Fenwick Frazier, a seventh grader who became CJ's first friend in kindergarten. He thinks he is smartest student in the entire school and tends to be reluctant to CJ's ideas. However, he is loyal, and is prone to adventure.
Owen Joyner as Christian "Crispo" Powers, a 12-year-old boy who vowed to be CJ's best friend after she saved him from choking on his stuffed horse in kindergarten. In sixth grade, he had a bad haircut and braces, but got them off prior to the events of the series' first episode. He became the coolest boy in the whole school, causing the most popular girl in the school to constantly try to get his affections, which becomes a running gag in the series. Nevertheless, he is also loyal, and while he does not have much common sense, his heart is in the right place, and he just wants to have fun with his two best friends as much as he can.
Jack De Sena as Jack Roberts, the school's guidance counselor, who often helps the three with their list and gives them advice. He often finds loopholes to help CJ.
