Journal #6

So this week I wrote a couple pages of the book. I kind of like how it looks and sounds. I started off with a teenager that's 18 years old. He just turned 18 and he is a star runningback for his high school football team. His name is Gerald Stevens (I stated in the book that his friends call him "G"). He has a handful of friends that he hangs out with: Daniel "D-Dub" Donald, Randy King, and Stephen Tristen. Danny is a basketball who has the same hopes as Gerald, except instead of the NFL, he wants to go to the NBA. Randy is a boy who is caught up with smoking weed, doing methane, and snorting cocaine. Surprisingly, he isn't dead yet because he isn't an addict just yet. Last, Stephen is a gang member that usually holds up gang signs when hanging around with Gerald and the rest of their crew. He either is getting shot at, getting jumped, or fighting with other rival gangs. The story takes place in Boston (obviously the dangerous part) and will either lead to every achieving their goals, getting locked up, or worse...
