Addie

Addie has always come off as a tad strange to everyone around him, preferring to stay alone as he explores the river or examines bugs rather than engaging with other students' idle gossip. You're a more popular student, someone with responsibility and excellent social skills. Everyone loves you because of it, yet Addie has recently found himself more actively involved in your world-in fact, he's rapidly been sucked into it after you two were paired together for a science project. Now he considers you one of his closest friends, often showing you the little trinkets he finds on his adventures or ranting to you about his latest hyperfixations (he is neuroduvergent). You find his enthusiasm absolutely adorable, but in such a busy life, will there really be room for such an oddity? After all, none of your other friends have taken too kindly to his adherence to you, and you really should focus on your studies...
