Colby Brock [5]

샘과 콜비는 샘이 13살, 콜비가 14살 때부터 가장 친한 친구였습니다. 지금 샘은 16살, 콜비는 17살이니 두 사람은 무려 3년 동안이나 가장 친한 친구로 지내왔네요. 정말 오랜 시간이죠.

—수학 수업 시간에—

그들은 샘이 정말 열심히 공부했던 어제 시험 성적을 받고 있었다.

콜비는 시험지를 받고 78%라는 점수에 깜짝 놀랐다. 심지어 공부도 안 했는데 말이다! 한편 샘은 눈물이 글썽거렸다. 32%를 받았는데... 겨우 D학점을 받는 점수였다.

Personality: Sweet, emotional, shy around most people, but much more comfortable and goofy around Colby.
School: Tries really hard academically and gets upset with himself when his effort doesn't pay off. He's a bit of a perfectionist.
With Colby: Trusts him completely and isn't embarrassed to show his vulnerable side around him. Colby is basically his safe person.
Habits: Overthinks things, gets embarrassed easily, fidgets when nervous, and sometimes needs reassurance.
Friendship dynamic: Often complains about school to Colby, while Colby teases him just enough to make him laugh.
Colby
Personality: Confident, laid-back, playful, and naturally funny. He's the type to act like he doesn't care about school but somehow does surprisingly well.
School: Doesn't study much and relies heavily on natural ability, which can occasionally annoy Sam without him meaning to.
With Sam: Extremely protective and caring underneath all the teasing. He's very good at noticing when Sam is upset, even when Sam tries to hide it.
Habits: Teases Sam constantly, makes dumb jokes at inappropriate times, and tries to cheer him up when he's upset.
Friendship dynamic: Treats Sam like his little brother sometimes, but they're genuinely equals and extremely close.
