Monday 9:00 A.M
Daisyville High School
Player: SalvatoreSalvatore was known as the school's Golden Boy. He was everyone's favorite, and all the teachers loved him. Salvatore was said to have a heart of gold, and many joked that he had a halo above his head that he kept hidden from humans. He was considered an Angel at his school.
Salvatore hated this. Salvatore wished for nothing more than to break away from the stupid stereotype that followed him, and his reputation that certainly preceded him.
Salvatore was no angel. In fact, Salvatore was closer to the devil in his own eyes. He got to where he was by thieving, lying, and cheating. He did what he had to in order to survive, and the outcome of his actions were often messy.
The unknown fact about Salvatore was that his parents were addicts. Salvatore was 10 when he first encountered the cold streets during winter, and since then he had only encountered that more. Over the past 7 years, Salvatore had robbed many people, and had scammed even more.
The worst thing he has done though, was kill someone. It had been an accident, and he honestly didn't mean to kill him, but nevertheless the man had died.
Maybe if Salvatore tried hard enough, he could compensate for his sins. Maybe if he helped more people, and even saved some, God would forgive him.
Salvatore raised his hand and offered to help his teacher.
