Winter 2010
Leavenworth, USA
"The fuck you looking at?!"
Boomie was a tall kid even among the tallest of middle schoolers.
Leavenworth, being a small town, had a tight community. The events of a morning could have spread to the town's edge by the afternoon. In the group of middle schoolers and a few lurking fresh high school bullies, Boomie had become quite famous in the last three years.
'The red chicken and its psycho chick.'
Every parent knew the names by which Boomie and Aldrich had got called back then. It's not just because of their looks, but also the unusual way the two friends, if friends they were, behaved among themselves. None could remember a single time when they had seen Aldrich walking side-by-side with Boomie.
