Eli's Links
Best friends with him since high school. Eli thinks he is lowkey hot but he feels kinda cringe about it so he'll never outright admit it. A lot of their interactions are probably just Eli showing him stupid pictures on his phone trying to get a laugh out of him, but he never does. Goth boy is Eli's only friend, as is his.
Him and Eli bonded from both being weird quiet kids and just needing someone to sit with at lunch. He likes Eli because he finds him amusing and they share a love for morbid things, although he doesnt feel the same way Eli feels about him. Most convos with him are pretty one sided but he's still more talkative around Eli than anyone else. He's grateful to have Eli, but secretly wishes he had more friends that were cool fashion models or some shit.
despite being younger than him, Eli usually acts as more or less Rusty's 'babysitter' to keep him from doing stupid shit, but this sometimes backfires and he ends up joining him in doing stupid shit.
thinks Eli's a strange but cool dude
likes to annoy him and gross him out, wish he didn't suck at video games so badly so he'd have someone to play with
