My name is Jack and in my opinion being the leader of a gang is a form of character building because it gives you a responsibility. My parents think I should get out of the gangs and just settle down in school, maybe get a girlfriend but to be honest I just do not see the appeal of it. None of the girls at school are interesting enough and they all come across as too needy. I hook up with some of them now and again but it never goes further than that because when it does things just get complicated. That kind of relationship is my worst nightmare..... Angie is the definition of a nightmare Even if I did settle down with a girl at school, it would not go anywhere because most of the parents think that I am a bad influence. They think I am someone out to steal the innocence of every girl in the god damn city. I am not like that at school..... I am a big softy at heart. That is what my mom says anyway... I guess I am just waiting for someone that can break through my hard exterior.
