I missed a day when my English teacher was showing it in class so I might (or might not) have missed some important scenes regarding this.

If he didn't have one particular best friend, who seemed the closest? Specific scenes they were in together would be great, as are quotes.

I believe it's Todd, but I want to be sure. Thanks.
 
Ethan Hawke (or Todd). His roommate but also his confidant. Todd learns of Neil's passion for acting & how it'll go against his father's wishes.
It really only shows them 2 together of all the boys conversing.
Also, Todd blames his (Neil's) father for Neil's death.
I can't give precise quotes- it's been years since I've seen that wonderful film.
 
Todd was his roommate and knew more about his ambitions to be an actor and to take part in the play. And Neil made a concerted effort to bring Todd more into the loop. So, yeah, I'd say Todd.
