Arnold Schroder (stubby) is Maddie's best friend in When which is written by Victoria Laurie. Stubby can be described as Kind Hearted, Devoted best friend, and selfless. Stubby is selfless because because she wanted to try harder to help Trevor Tibbult. “I don’t think they will believe me, Stubs.” Stubby was silent for a long time. “I should’ve gone over to her house that night. We should’ve tried harder to get her to listen.” (Pg. 68) Stubby don't care what people think about him he was only trying to help Maddie after someone egged her bike.”There!!!” said Stubs, pulling my attention back, “Good as new.” He’d gotten the last of the egg off and was grinning brightly at me. (Pg 74 ) Stubs is a very kind hearted person it’s just in his nature
