He was one of very selfish person and wanted to be alone every time. He did not like someone interrupt him. Therefore he did not has many different friends, because he really did not want to be close with anybody. However he tried to pretend has many friends to his mother, so he lied to his mother that he had to go to ski trip with his friend Alessia. Probably his mom was very strict for Lorenzo and cared about Lorenzo a lot. Also it was hard to lied his mother. However he had plan to did not go to ski trip and stayed into cellar. That was one of problem to met Olivia and stayed with Olivia in the cellar. Olivia interrupted Lorenzo for his secret ski week. He really did not want to stay with Olivia, but Olivia threaten Lorenzo about he did not go to ski trip and he hid Olivia in the cellar. Lorenzo knew that Olivia smoked, took drugs and drunk alcohol. Lorenzo knew Olivia depraved a lot. "What sort of illness did she have? What if it were contagious."(Me and You, page 99) Lorenzo did not care about anyone before he met Olivia, but Lorenzo worried Olivia about her health and conditions. This means after Olivia came to stay with Lorenzo, he showed and opened his expressions to Olivia and he was keep changing. He got many influences to Olivia's actions with outgoing personality.
At first they did not like each other "Get away. I swear to God I'm going to kill you."(Me and You, page 107) first Lorenzo did not like Olivia's personality, so he fought with Olivia. Therefore Olivia slapped Lorenzo and Lorenzo punched Olivia, but she was out of breath and she was like choking. They could not control their expressions with conversations. He really worried Olivia, so he went out for brought medicine for Olivia. It was very dangerous to went outside during hid in cellar, but he chose to go outside because Lorenzo worried Olivia a lot. He changed more because he was very selfish and did not willing to help. At the last day of hid in cellar, they had nice time and Olivia danced, but Lorenzo did not. However Olivia made Lorenzo danced. "She grabbed my hands and, looking at me with those magnetic eyes of hers, she pulled me toward her. My destiny is to be next to you, with you near me I won't be afraid, and I will be a little girl again."(Me and You, page 143) Olivia gave big brave to Lorenzo and tried to advice to change. Lorenzo danced after Olivia told this. He felt something he never felt before because of Olivia. "I felt a live-it took my breath away."(Me and You, page 144) Olivia was one of good mentor to make change Lorenzo. At the beginning, Lorenzo was very selfish and did not care about anybody, but he became less selfish and willing to help Olivia instead of thought about self.
