Friends and acquaintances shared that Barron was an interesting person, even if he was quite removed from his surroundings. “He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining,” said a friend to The Daily Mail. “He was also very mysterious. He never attended football games or dances. I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates.”

“I’m sure he had fun in his own way but it was a bit of a shame that he didn’t get to have a normal high school life like everyone else," continued the friend, who claimed that if Barron ever had a girlfriend it was "top secret." 

Barron's identity was guarded at Oxbridge Academy, initially registering in the school under the name "Jack." This alias helped protect his identity and his grades, preventing hackers from accessing the data and sharing it online. 

Throughout his school years, Secret Service agents trailed him. He also completed about half of his coursework online, according to the publication. “He had multiple agents who would rotate throughout the day and there was always one with him wherever he needed to go,” said his friend.

“The agents would stand right outside the door during class. If he went to the bathroom they would go with him and wait outside.” While the agents were eye-catching at first, they blended into the background, with the kids barely noticing them come graduation time. 

His friend also revealed that Barron rarely ate at school. "Barron always went to the lunchroom to sit with his friends but he never ate any lunch," they said. "He never specifically said why, just that he would wait until he got home to eat. It was a little unusual."
