When Park moves towards the bus window to make room for the new girl Eleanor, it's not a gesture of friendship, just one of decency; no one else will let her sit because of her red hair, imperfect figure, and lack of fashion sense. Not that Park is one to talk – he's a misfit as well and only wants to avoid attention in high school. In a way, they're perfect for one another, and the bus ride they share each day leads to a relationship that is stronger than either of them could have imagined.
