wade was the shy kid who listened to classic rock and smoked weed on the d/l, and he went to private catholic school so he had a reputation as being studious and smart with a bright future ahead of him. he's close childhood friends with bluett, so we could easily say they were all friends and once brynn and wade were in high school were kinda like, 'heeyyyyy?' depending on how long they dated, she might be his longest relationship ever and he's not 100% prepared to deal with how sad that is BUT maybe they broke up after graduation or even second semester of freshman year in college? leading up to graduation they could have gotten into fights, since she was going to move away for school and he had applied to places and maybe even gotten into a school in or around pennsylvania but had no interest in going.
