Malcolm is a boy who lives with his family, his three brothers, and his parents. Malcolm had never had a serious or stable relationship; they always broke down, or he was very shy. But every interaction he had with a girl, he shared with his brothers, especially Reese, who congratulated him—a classic boy thing. Now, he's in a very stable and happy relationship with Allie, the girl at his school. They would meet outside of school, on their way out, since they were each going in different directions.
