While Olivia might be a misanthropist, I wouldn't label her as antisocial. I mean, the girl knows how to talk and manipulate people. Any connection that the characters might have with Olivia's family will be an instant way in with her. Jason has one, since Olivia's father likes him and is a frequent customer at the hardware store. There is a tie between Mario and Olivia through Melissa. We could have Max be friends with Stacey, which is one of Olivia's sisters. Stacey could be just a year older and into the whole gymnastics thing, which would tie Olivia and Max together. And, lastly, Olivia admires likka, so there wouldn't be any problems there.
