You two had your own Olive theory, but for you guys it was with Video Games. He loved them, and thought they were great. Meanwhile you liked books and thought video games were stupid.

You were visiting Richie one day and he makes a game reference you don’t understand so the next day he immediately bikes over and takes you to the arcade and said he’d pay for anything you wanted for the whole day if you tried one video game and liked it.
