Uncle David
Garrett is Bryce’s longtime best friend, but their relationship is largely shallow. Garrett proves himself to be judgmental, especially about Juli. He’s more interested in girls like Shelly Stalls and encourages Bryce to pursue them instead. When he learns that Juli’s Uncle David has an intellectual disability, he cruelly jokes that it “explains a lot” about Juli, and this moment pushes Bryce to re-evaluate their friendship. Ultimately, Bryce distances himself from Garrett’s influence, opting instead to spend his time with people like Juli, who actively practice empathy and care.
