There is probably at least one romance which is either fake or one-sided. Jessica's opinions on certain relationships could also simply be wrong, and the people she thinks are hooked up could be manipulating her into thinking that. For instance, if one (or both) of George or Shannon is just using it as a cover or distraction.
Of course, since it's kept largely secret in either case except from the cousins, and George and Shannon never really explain where they're going when they sneak off, that sort of charade doesn't appear very useful, unless it's to directly mislead the other person. If, for example, Shannon is stringing George along, letting him think what he wants to think about her, and securing his cooperation for whatever end, it becomes useful. Where it doesn't appear to help anyone is if they're both in on it, because then nobody knows or cares what they're doing anyway and they could just duck into an unused room for a minute to chat about their plans.
And the Jessica/Kanon relationship barely ever comes up, though since it conspicuously comes up in Battler's presence, that one could be argued to be intentionally presented for Battler's notice.
But something is definitely up with that stuff.
