Ricky is just your average teenager, for the most part. He lives with his mother, father and younger brother. Ricky has been crushing on a girl in his class since the fifth grade, although he’s too afraid to actually say something. He just can't get her out of his  mind. Sometimes after school he goes to his dad's shop to help out a little, since things can get a little busy in the afternoon. Ricky doesn’t hate a lot of people, but if you’re on his ‘hate list’ it’s not a good thing. For example, In the fourth grade Ricky said something about some kids' mom and got punched in the face for it. That kid was Leo Smith. Ricky has always hated Leo but as his father says, “Hate leads to nothing but violence”. Can Ricky stick to that motto or will he screw it up?
