Characters

I've already got a response from Jay as to whether I will be changing names. Of course, but the characters will be a blend of all my college friends, myself and others I have met since birth.

Here's a teaser to who the story revolves around:

Chris: He plays the part of the narrator. From the beginning, he starts out as naieve, mostly unsure about himself. He came into college sheltered by his parents, but the first thing he does when he gets to school is declare to change that.

Enter Ethan.

Ethan: He's calm, cool and collected. He handles every situation like he owns it. He's far from perfect, but to Chris, he's God. Yes, he's kind of an asshole at times, but it's excusable in the long run. His goal in life is to succeed so he never has to return to his dump of a hometown.

"My hometown is occupied by the white trash that clogs the flow of natural human evolution," he says.

But by reading that, don't think this is some buddy book where two little rascals go off into the sunset to find an adventure. Sure it's based off parts of some of my best friends, but keep the title of the book in mind.

Still, I promise the first chapter posted soon.

I think there should be a pretty girl in the book. And she should be practically perfect, not the demise of men! Maybe she should be Southern, what do you think?

Women are always the demiss of men, there is no way to change that. If Krans does then he would be a woman himself. And everyone knows that Southerns are not perfect, just look at their hygiene. love you Bama
