[color=6ecff6][b]Pending Crushes:[/b][/color] Niles (13), Genie (12), and Julius (13)[/center]

Zac: Parents died when he was in third grade. He skipped Fifth grade because #goodgrades. In 6th grade with Alver. 
Alver: 6th grade
Genie: 7th grade
Niles and Julius: 8th grade
Micah: Freshmen of highschool, still kept contact with his friends but highschool was one of the reasons why he started losing contact. 

[color=6ecff6][b]What's on my mind in terms of the climax scene of their friendship:[/b][/color]

[i]Their hangouts had lessen because of their 'new friends' and the mere fact that the majority of them were in different grades made it extremely difficult to hang out. A month before 8th grade graduation for Niles and Julius, they had a Saturday hangout at their clubhouse... and things got real.[/i]

Inspiration for clubhouse from the anime Anohana: An abandoned shack (with barn aesthetics) in the Woods.
