Dylan Wilkinson Character Analysis

Dylan is one of Jared’s classmates and Mr. Wilkinson’s son. Dylan is a popular boy on the hockey team who often picks on Jared, but when Dylan’s girlfriend Ebony teams up with Jared to make marijuana cookies, Dylan and Jared become friends. Later, however, Jared grows tired with Dylan, who often gets drunk, doesn’t clean up his messes, and constantly complains when Ebony breaks up with him. In contrast to Jared, who is responsible and mature beyond his years, Dylan expects his parents to solve his problems for him.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, Destiny had texted.

The bites had healed. He didn’t feel his missing toe anymore. He should be over it by now, he thought, but as he treaded water, he wanted to get drunk, immediately. He wanted to not feel terrified or dumped or used anymore. He wanted to get out of his head and never, ever crawl back in.

“I want to shake your hand,” Mr. Wilkinson said. And he held out his hand, and he was attracting attention, so Jared reluctantly shook. “It took a lot of guts to come here. I wish I’d been as together as you are when I was your age. I’m proud of you, Jared.”

Jared started crying. Leaking tears. And then bawling and shaking. And feeling like a phony and a loser. Mr. Wilkinson wrapped his arms around him and let him cry.
