- Lukas and Gavin were in 8th grade P.E. together where they would tacitly shoot hoops together hardly uttering a word. During lacrosse warmup in the gym, Gavin was struck hard in the face by a solid-rubber lacrosse ball. While more popular students gathered around to inquire if he was OK, the red-faced Gavin simply gave a befuddled shrug of his shoulders, effectively allaying fears that he was injured.
- Lukas befriends Andy, Asher, and John Teske through Washington State History and Advanced Math 7. This was the genesis of sort of a loose "nerd alliance" perhaps involving Asher, Andy, Andy Dustan, John, and Lukas.
Shorewood
Freshman Year
- Rama and Kevin become friends via Sensei Hopkins's first-year Japanese class. Kevin and Owen acquianted with one another. Rama and Owen continue hostility.
