Chadwick is incredibly smart, and is planning to go to a university as a biology major. On the contrary, school stresses out Bartholomew; he prefers going to the gym and playing sports. Chadwick, from kindergarten to senior year, had been bullied by his peers for his weak appearance. Chadwick's first impression of Bartholomew was in second grade, when he defended him from a group of bullies. Ever since then, Chadwick has looked up to Bartholomew. Chadwick is still bullied when Bartholomew isn't there for him. However, he keeps his calm, happy composure so as to not make Bartholomew worry. The only other person at school that did not bully Chadwick was Jared; Chadwick's younger brother. Jared is also friends with Chadwick's only friend, Bartholomew. Jared is an attractive student with average grades. Because of his appearance, many people look up to him. Jared is portrayed as egoistic and feeds on everyone's compliments. However, deep down, he hates himself because the only reason why people respect him is for his looks. He isn't smart like his brother Chadwick, or heroic and buff like Bartholomew.
