Patrick is LaVaughn's friend in biology class. Patrick grew up in the foster care system and spent most of his life being raised by nuns. He has an unnamed speech impediment that causes him to speak very slowly, but he is clearly brilliant. Patrick is a genius when it comes to science and scores the twelfth highest score in the entire state in the science-standardized test. Patrick has a crush on LaVaughn that isn't returned and he accuses LaVaughn of acting superior when she laughs at the homemade Valentine he makes her.
