"River face parte dintr-o bandă, umblă vorba prin liceu. Juliana se înțelege bine cu toată lumea. River poartă mereu după el aceeași bandană neagră, legată de încheietura mâinii lui stângi. Juliana portă mereu la gât același lănțișor din argint pe care l-a primit în copilărie de la cel mai bun prieten al ei. River își pierde timpul liber în 13th Street, locul unde se adună cei mai nebuni oameni din Bronx. Juliana adoră să-și piardă timpul liber făcând fotografii oamenilor de pe stradă. River nu se deplasează cu mașina, el vine la liceu cu placa de skate. Juliana preferă să ia la pas străzile orașului, pentru a putea surprinde în fotografiile ei cât mai multe momente. River reprezintă focul neîmblânzit, iar Juliana adoră să se joace cu orice flacără."
