Journal#1I was a little confused at first. Rusty-James, the main character is talking, I guess, to an old friend. I don't understand why she acts like she doesn't want to talk to him. I guess something happened in his past involving Steve and he's trying not to remember it. He could be a little kinder. Rusty-James looks really tough, like he's been through a lot. He begins the second chapter with a flashback to when he was a child. The first thing that happens is that he is threatened with being killed. What surprised me is that this guy acts like it's nothing. I would get all my friends to support me and I would still pee my pants. I'd be like Steve, the idiot, trying to talk about it instead of fighting. Rusty seems smart, he just wants to be cool and be afraid of people. They start talking about this guy nicknamed biker guy. He's supposed to be "the one", everyone thought he was cool but at the same time they were terrified of him. I guess Rusty wanted to be that way. I never understood the whole ego thing, how you feel about yourself depends on everyone else, but whatever, that's not the point. So this "legend" is gone and Rusty wants to take his place. Rusty and Steve seem like complete opposites, but that may be why they get along so well. Diary#2Surprise, surprise, Rusty has a girlfriend. He doesn't seem like the type to commit to a person. He seems like a flirt, an exhibitionist type. A type of guy a girl would like to have fun with, not date. It reminds me of myself when I'm dating. Jealous, accusatory and nosy. He probably has a reason to be though. They seem to care about each other, though. Just like her, I wouldn't want her to argue. It's a little wrong how he leaves her so quickly to fight after he hasn't seen her for so long. He acts like he's going to go play a soccer game, rather than fight. He is so excited that I will try to find a way out. The guy he's supposed to fight is high on something and is freaking out. Oh my God, I would be such a little girl! The only way I would EVER fight is if they were younger than me, or smaller than me, and I'm pretty small.
