David Wade

He is Mclean’s intelligent neighbor. He is a “boy genius who skipped, like, all of junior high and was taking college courses.” To his parents dismay he decided to transfer from an elite private school to a public school because he wanted to have a normal high school experience. Dave owes community service because he was caught underage drinking, so he spends a lot of time working on the model of the town to fill his requirements. Mclean and Dave fall in love.
