Chapter 2 – Jake
Senior year was much better for Noah than his Junior year had been. He noticed Jake was wanting to hang at his house all of the time and he didn’t mind. Jake was his best buddy and Noah knew that the Dupree house had all of the cool gadgets plus he knew Jake wanted to get out of his house as much as possible. I don’t think Jake did much to warrant it, but Jake’s parents were getting even more strict with him. It was supposed to be the opposite; you were supposed to get more freedoms the closer you got to 18. It seemed to be the opposite for Jake.
Still, the two friends made the best of it and Jake was practically living at their house. Noah’s mom seemed to be really happy to have him over so much and really spoiled them, bringing snacks during some of their gaming sessions and generally being an amazing mom. Noah could see Jake was eating it up, not getting anything close to that at his home.
