So *a friend* and I decided to come up with HCs of how each of them met and became friends. Take it or leave it this is what we thought:
-That kid that’s been at the school since the b e g i n n i n g
-Has always been a natural-born leader
-Everyone (as in: the entire class)’s first friend
-Came to Welton in 3rd grade.
-Forced to come because his parents’ expectations
-Met Neil and initially hated him because he was always so…good?
-Became friends through one stupid comment in class
-Bonded over stupid things at first (like rocks) and then bonded over personal things (like their parents and their shared enthusiasm)
-Had secret hideouts and knew every corner of Welton
-Came to Welton in 6th grade
-Started topping a lot of classes, namely science
-Charlie bullied Meeks for being a nerd (verbally)
-Meeks found out about Charlie’s parents and decided to help him study (otherwise his parents would kill him for bad grades)
-Now Charlie ‘flatters’ Meeks to make up for the childhood bullying
-Just wanted to play soccer
-A total loner. He was too tall and quiet but would explode with words when someone approached him
-Accidentally stumbled upon one of Charlie/Neil’s hideouts
-Neil escorts him back to main campus, talking as they walk
-Knox immediately takes this as friendship and thinks Neil is his best friend
-Tries to approach Neil as much as his tall small body will let him
-‘Knoxious’ made by Charlie after finding out how much he talks when he’s passionate
-Came to Welton in 7th grade
-That kid that has been all over the world
-Knows a few other languages
-Everyone liked him because he was super nice and tried to show them some exotic lifestyles from around the world
-Didn’t like the strict policies at Welton
-Always put in the back row next to Knox because of height
-Started applying himself to his work and started topping science
-Pitts and Meeks started growing competetive
-Welton liked their competition because it fuelled their grades
-Forced as lab partners and roommates
-One time the competition got too real and the science lab had to be evacuated.
-They laughed and became best friends. The rest is history
-Pitts’ family friend. Pitts’ parents recommended Welton to Cameron’s parents
-Pitts’ parents recommended the haircut to Cameron’s parents
-Didn’t want to leave his old friends behind
-Miserable when coming to Welton at 8th grade
-was cool before he decided that academics was his entire life
-Admired Neil’s leadership
-Admired Pitts because he was always nice to him, even when Cameron was being a Richard
