Cricket Bell

Cricket Bell has been Lola's crush since her childhood. He has a sister named Calliope, who is a figure skater. Due to his sister's rough schedule, the kids were homeschooled. Cricket was able to skip a year of school because of this. He is also enrolled at Berkeley with Etienne St. Clair, one of his close friends. He has a room mate named Dustin. Also, in Lola and the Boy Next Door, Lola says that Cricket is a brilliant inventor.

After the Bell family moves back next door to Lola's house, Cricket and Lola become closer. Cricket tells Lola his feelings. After Lola breaks up with her boyfriend, Max, the two begin to date.
