Karen Peixoto was a nerdy 18-year-old living in Arizona where she lived her whole life. She had red hair, green eyes, and glasses. She was was loving and accepting of others regardless of who they were, as long as it was positive. Although Karen was smart she wasn't always so bright in decision makings. She didn't have enemies in school but there was somebody she knew quite well who would soon become one.
Brian is also 18-years- old also known as "Lying Brian" because of his tendency to lie. A lot of his friends secretively called him that. He was about the same height as Karen standing 5 foot 7. He had a shaved head, light facial hair and brown eyes. He often wore jeans and flannel shirts. Brian was a sexual pervert and predator.
One day when he and Tony were alone with another girl in the handball courts named Christina who was also nerdy and short but legal age he whispered to Tony that they should gang-rape her. Others were just outside. And she was a friend. That's how bold Brian was. Although Tony had his own personal demons he was not going to give in. Tony was an outsider of Arizona originally from California but had vacationed in Arizona several times to the Colorado River and Lake Havasu City. His family weren't big fans despite all the past trips. He and the family relocated when his dad got a job in Mesa,AZ which was the same in California. Tony's dad worked at Boeing. Tony liked California but loved Arizona. If he lived the rest of his life in Arizona that be fine with him.
Although he lived in Mesa, his high school was actually in the neighboring city of Gilbert where he would meet Karen and Brian and many others. He often wore black and was usually quiet. He was tall standing 6 foot 1 with dark brown hair and brown eyes. Saying no to Brian didn't cause commotion but it made Brian see Tony as a party pooper and no fun at all. Karen thought Tony was cool. He loved to write and was good at it. But he needed to work on his punctuation and grammar. He was the tallest member of Karen's group of friends.
