I wonder why the writer wants to introduce Alicia, and have Bobby trust her when he just met her and when they are still bascially complete strangers?
I also wonder why Bobby is acting like a jerk towards his parents because he doesn't want to act like that, but he just does?
Another wonder I have, is how did he face boredom before he met Alicia, because he can't catch up on homework or have fun with friends?
