Upon meeting Samantha Hawksley in Alexander Hamilton Junior High School, his feelings on life began to change, and became one of her best friends, and later her love interest.

## Personality

Norman is desperate for a simple, happy life, away from the overbearing and abusive nature of his mother and often busy father. However, upon meeting Samantha Hawksley in Alexander Hamilton Junior High School within months of his first day at said school, the two became friends, and it made him happy every time they see each other. He hides his happiness at home because his family's limo driver never takes him to and from school, which he doesn't often mind because he gets up super early in the morning, walking all the way to school, and in the afternoon, after doing all his homework, walks all the way home, which annoys his parents, and his relationship with other students does not hold well with his parents who want him to marry Geraldine Buckner in the future, which Norman refuses, knowing she is a spoiled brat, and only wants his marriage to her for her money, when Norman would rather marry for love. He longs deeply for freedom and is highly temperamental, yet emotionally controlled.

## Relationships

### Geraldine Buckner

Norman does not like Geraldine for her abusive demeanor and demanding attitude.

### Samantha Hawksley

Samantha secretly followed Norman into the loft above the cafeteria during lunch hour and when she found him brooding, she told him she legitimately liked his eyes and his hair. Her compliment pleased him enough for them to introduce each other, and he allowed her to join him in his spot for lunch, and told her he wanted to meet some of her friends, which she promised to do.

### Richard Karnowski

Richard is assumably neglective toward Norman, given his status as a hotel businessman, but has enough sense to say that Norman is his son, and his well-being is beyond important.

### Helen Karnowski

Norman believes himself to be emotionally tortured by his mother, who acts entitled, spoiled, and selfish, and is a perfectionist. He sees her as a stuck-up, rich snob who brags about her wealth and never even acknowledges his existence, except for when she's upset of believes something is wrong with him, like his appearance and views on life, which "gives him headaches", according to him. Despite not liking her very much, he worries for her safety and is willing to put his needs aside to see that she doesn't get into trouble.

### Bill Karnowski

His grandfather, according to Norman, is very active, kind, and very happy despite his old age, and is the only member in his family he ever gets along with, as they both have the same taste in literature, hot chocolate, and old fashions and the two really enjoy their talks.
