Spence- I feel like Johanna and Spence would have known Spence in high school or something and she'd have a little insider source to what happened during that time. Sees him as an older brother, and is protective of him every time someone gets friendly with him. Maybe their mom's both worked together?[/quote]

This! I really like this and then we'd have someone in the group that would understand Spence on a deeper level and help him when he gets in those slump days of his... so yeah, I fully approve. And of course he'll see Johanna as a little sister and be equally as protective. Hmm, or maybe Johanna was visiting a friend during freshman year of high school at the apartment complex he lived in and he ran in to her, thought she was cute, so he started talking to her and they became friends (though, they could have lost contact once Spence got expelled) but when he came back, she tried to be his friend but he kind of shut her out. Then they met again in [i]this[/i] apartment complex (it's a circle, cute, right?) and Spence apologized and they reconnected. Yes, that I like a lot.
