The main characters in my book are Alex and Brittany. There are two because the novel tells both of their stories at the same time. Alex has a reputation of being in a gang and being tough. Alex has dark hair and he works part-time at his uncle's car repair shop. He's poor and lives in the south side of Chicago. Also, he's a senior at his high school. Although he's very smart, he tries to cover up that he's not. His father was shot when Alex was six, so now he takes care of his family. He loves his family, and they're really close to him too.
Brittany lives in the north side of Chicago and is rich. But even though in high school she's a perfect, pretty, and blond cheerleader, her life at home tells a different story. She has a sister who is mentally retarded, and Brittany loves her a lot. Her mother also has anxiety attacks, and her father cares about work too much. Brittany tries to hold up a reputation that she's perfect, but she has lots of insecurities as well.
