I AM SORRY FOR POTENTIALLY WRECKING THESE HILARIOUS UNDERAGE HOOKUP PLANS. as of right now i think kearra and i are going to go down the high school ex route if that is cool with everyone but i am all about the drama SO if we wanna throw some sort of even loose connection at these two and fast forward a few years later he and kearra hook up, that is all good with me. otherwise and in general, he sounds fantastic and definitely like someone lucas would be drawn to as a person. lucas is also kind of navigating that too but in a very very understated idk wtf i'm even really thinking right now way so they've got that too. maybe joey and his family lived on the same street or right next door to lucas' mom or dad or their families are friends or they even met randomly at a part time job or artsy sort of event
