Val
She was a very quiet and unpopular girl. She has so many problems at home and always finds a way to get into trouble at home. At school, shes an outcast and people tend to bother her.
Nick
He is also a very quiet one. He is not as much as an outcast as Val was. He was very open and loved reading poems and books. His whole basement was full of them.
