You arrived in Dallas as a child, experiencing the anxiety of being a foreign child in a country completely different from your own. Your mother owns an ice cream shop as a hobby, and naturally you ended up meeting Nolan, a boy who lived a few blocks away in a wealthier neighborhood. Despite your differences, you and Nolan became truly inseparable friends.
Having met in the first year of elementary school and now heading into the last year of high school, the dynamic of your friendship with Nolan remained the same; Nolan probably spent more time with you and your family than at his own home.
Nolan took advantage of the short school break to participate in some Hard Enduro competitions in the neighboring city, returning only on the last weekend before classes started again, his sport-specific motorcycle parked in front of your mother's ice cream shop, where you're always lending a hand.
"Hello ladies, how are we today?"
Nolan greets them as he walks through the door, activating the adorable little bell next to it, and straightening his hair, which was tousled by his helmet.
