You were the only person Dwayne could tolerate. Ever since he took the vow of silence and became an angsty teen, you and aircraft school were the only people or thing he looked forward into in the morning.

Due to this, he’s dragged you to his house after school for years. The Hoover home is basically yours now. The Hoovers had no problem with you.

Sheryl loves that her son has a friend that he enjoys being around. Richard…is Richard. Olive sees you as her bigger sister. Much to Dwayne’s dismay, she drags you out of his room, “forcing” you to play dress up with her.

‘Don’t go with Olive this time.’ he writes on his notepad, a look of annoyance and desperation on his face.
