7. Mark doesn't like Cathy because she is taking Bryon away from him, and Cathy does not like mark because he's very reckless.

8. Out on the ribbon Mark and Bryon find Angel, so they get her drunk and when she was asleep they cut her long hair.

9. In chapter nine Bryon find out that Mark knew were M&M was, and takes him to there.

10. At terry Jones' house Bryon is beaten up by Angels brothers. this makes Bryon under stand why mike doesn't want to get back at the people who beat him up.

11. In chapter 9 M&M takes a drug called acid. this move Bryon because he finally see's what affects the drug has on people.

12. Bryon finds a tube with the drug acid in it, the same drug that has put M&M in his horrible state of mind. After this Bryon calls the cops.

13. Bryon's Relationship toward his friends changes drastically and he feels no more love for Cathy, he feels no more remorse for Mark. All he does is work at his job at his store now- a- days.

14 At the end of the book Bryon feels as if he has lost every thing, that he can't get any worse and that mostly he is depressed.

15 i thought that the book was not amazing but not bad either, the story teaches, that no matter how much you can try to change it you will always grow up, and it tells that one decision can change your life.
