Personality
James is smart. No. He's not smart. He's a genius. When he was young, he could play any instrument without having lessons. He could solve a rubix cube in thirty seconds. He remembered things that no one else could. His mother had him tested, because she thought maybe he could be autistic. But he was just a normal child that liked to learn.
He was never good at making friends. He was, and still is, a little awkward. He hates talking to strangers, and sometimes his anxiety gets the better of him. When he met Rylee in third grade, he was able to break out of his shell a bit. He has never had a real girlfriend, but everyone thinks he's good at flirting. He doesn't even know how. He just talks, and people assume.
James has always been happy, despite being different or weird. He loves his life, he loves his friends, he loves his family. His life is normal. But he doesn't want normal. He wants more. He wants a girlfriend and he wants to go to parties and he wants to do well in big crowds. It's just hard for him because he's so shy.
He loves animals. He wants to be a vet when he's older. He was raised around horses, and he loves being able to help things that need it. Even people. He's good at giving advice, even if he doesn't have a ton of experience.

History
James never knew his dad.
His mother and father were married for two years before James was conceived. They already had a daughter, Clarissa. James's father did not want another kid, so when his wife told him she was pregnant again, he left ten thousand dollars cash on the kitchen table and left.
When Jamie was a child, his mother went through many boyfriends. None of them lasted more than 6 months. But when James, age 5, sat down at the piano and played a Beethoven sonata after hearing it on TV, she stopped. He had never taken a piano lesson before. His mother was sure there was something wrong with him. He went through test after test for two whole years before they concluded he was just smart... Very smart.
He skipped first grade, and in third grade he met Rylee, and they became best friends. They were always by each others side, along with Ry's little sister, Ramona, until she went to live with her aunt.
Rylee and James stayed close, and in seventh grade they made six other friends. James was happy to be accepted. Throughout high school, they came and went, but they all ended up together. Now, the road trip. James doesn't know what he's doing after, but he hopes he'll stay close with them all.
