The main characters in my book are Ryan Dean a 14 year old Junior (and varsity rugby team member) at Pike Mountain High School, Chas Becker the biggest baddest guy on the rugby team (also his roommate), and Ryan Dean's best "girl-friend" (NOT a "girlfriend") Annie. Here's how they develop throughout the text.
Ryan Dean: At the beginning of the novel, Ryan Dean was just a puny 14 year old smashed into the Junior Class. Throughout the story he has gained respect through fighting, poker games, and how fast he can move across the rugby field. One fight started when he saw a group of some of the football players ganging up on one of his buddies. He ran up and kicked one of the football players straight in the nose. After that, no one has messed with him or his friends. After one midnight poker game, his roommates (that hated him) learned that he was super daring and decided that he was tolerable after all. The other players on the rugby team used to make fun of Ryan Dean for not being as buff or as muscularly strong as them but after the first practice and watching him fly down the field they started to realize how much he was actually needed on the team.
Chas: In the beginning, Chas was probably the scariest guy Ryan Dean had ever met but throughout the novel, Ryan Dean realized that Chas was literally 200 pounds and the worst thing he could possibly do would either be to sit on him or punch out his insides. Ryan Dean thought, "if he ever comes my way, ill just run, there's no way he'll be able to catch me".
Annie: At the start of the book (during the summer), Annie is best friends with Ryan Dean. The first day of school was hours away when their relationship plummeted. Ryan Dean became enrolled in one of Chas' famous poker games the night before the first day. He became drunk for the first time. Chas made him go use the facilities in the girls dorm downstairs. He barely got out before being busted by the girls dorm monitor. Annie found out about this whole incident the next morning. She thought this was extremely irresponsible of Ryan Dean and has been angry with him since.
