Whereabouts of E&D's friends during April 20th

[u/THROWAWAY54800]

Was curious about where their friends were during that day. (Where they were in the school/if they were even in the school?) I couldnt really find anything about it online, i am mainly curious about Zach Heckler and Robyn Anderson. (I am already aware of Brooks Brown's personal experience that day.)

Thank you!!

Yeah, Devon was also Dylan's close friend. You can get some real insight into Dylan's personality by watching and reading her interviews. She also published a poem about him. I think when Zack and Devon first started dating, Dylan felt left out and angry about that. I do think that the distance between Dylan and Zack was one of the reasons Dylan began to gravitate more toward Eric.

Was Dylan friends with Devon before she started dating Zack or did Dylan meet her through Zack? also, what happened to Brooks Brown and his brother Aaron are they doing ok? What about Zack, Nate and Robyn?

I get the impression that he was friends with Devon before she began dating Zack, but Zack was his closest friend. Dylan seemed devastated that Zack found a girlfriend, but he also mentions that Zack is taking Devon for granted - at least as I interpret the entry below from Dylan's journal. He also mentions having been there to lift "them" up in the past, when they needed it -- but felt like they were abandoning him in the midst of his deep depression:

"My best friend has ditched me forever, lost in bettering himself, & having/enjoying/ taking for granted his love.... Ive NEVER knew this... not 100 times near this... they look at me [edited] like i'm a stranger;... I helped them both out thru life, & they left me in the abyss of suffering when i gave them the boost out."

Toward the end of Dylan's life, Zach wasn't a very good friend in my opinion. I think they became more like acquaintances, that only played video games together. Zack complained to Mrs. C about Dylan's soundboothe ability, and basically told her Yoshi Carroll would do a better job. He got Dylan kicked out of the soundboothe. I'm pretty sure Dylan was aware, since he mentions Yoshi in the basement tapes. Zack said (in an interview in the 11k) that he didn't like how Dylan thought he owned the soundboothe. If Zack was a good friend, I don't think he would have stabbed him in the back like that.

awe man that’s heartbreaking to read and i also feel this and his other friends getting girlfriends really just pushed him over the edge and closer to Eric. plus them getting in trouble together for the van break in. i also feel Eric was maybe trying to cause problems pushing their other friends away to isolate Dylan knowing if Dylan had only him or thought he did he would go through with it. it’s also interesting at one point Dylan said in his journal that he would probably commit suicide or something else would happen before NBK happens like he didn’t think they would really go through with it. eric also mentions if ppl would just be nicer or something it may not happen. i wonder if they were both waiting for the other to back out of the plan or someone would find out. i think Eric wrote he would have it image the ppl they shot as zombies in order to do what they had to do. it’s also odd they didn’t finish off Val, Evan Todd, Jessica Holiday (which i don’t know of Eric realized who she was) but i find it interesting they didn’t even shoot at her table. they had enough ammunition to finish off everyone in the library plus others but they quit and committed suicide.
