Give me headcanons abt Cal and Andres early friendship or I’ll be sad >:3

EARLY CALDRE HCS

- despite cal always being loud and somewhat obnoxious as a kid, andre didn’t really notice him. cal noticed andre, though. the new kid who immediately became the smartest kid in the grade caught everyone’s eye.

- rachel complained about andre to cal. rachel had immediately formed an academic rivalry with andre even though andre wasn’t aware of it.

- cal approached andre at lunch about halfway through the first semester of sixth grade. they didn’t really speak, instead opting to sit across from each other in silence and occasionally look at each other.

- the first time they talked was a couple days later. andre approached cal in the pickup line and asked what he thought about the book they were reading for english class. they both hated it.

- despite only having a small conversation that day, the two started talking constantly. they got told to be quiet in every class they shared: math, gym, english, and lunch.

- the first time they went over to each other’s houses was in the spring of seventh grade. andre had been uncomfortable with the idea of cal coming to his house. his older brother would be there, and he didn’t really like andre. plus, andre had been ridiculed so much for his family’s german accent; he was scared cal would do the same.

- the fear of judgement left as soon as cal walked into andre’s house. he felt nothing but comfort with cal.

- when andre met cal’s family, he fell in love with their dynamic. siblings that laughed together. parents that openly expressed love.

- their parents could immediately tell that the boys were going to become inseparable, and they were right. they spent the majority of the rest of their lives together.

- they snuck rated r movies into their rooms and watched them in the middle of the night with little to no sound. they would never admit that they barely slept those nights and huddled a bit closer in bed than they normally would.

- andre’s birthdays never had any guests other than cal (shown in the movie). he didn’t invite anyone else. he only wanted cal there.

- as cal grew out his hair and got made fun of for it, andre always had his back. cal liked how he looked which meant andre did too.

- cal was freaked out when andre joined the track team in eighth grade, scared that andre would leave him for a more popular, jock-filled friend group, but he never did.

- cal started smoking weed in ninth grade. andre tried it a couple months after cal got into it and almost choked. cal never lets him forget that moment.

- they lost their minds every time they got their schedules in high school. they sat in andre’s car and went through each class. every period they didn’t have together made them sadder and sadder.
