The south side.. You're either in too deep, a fucking pill head with minimal brain cells left for dead.. Or you're a hopeful idiot that dreams of shedding this life behind. Either way, there is no getting out. The dreamers like Ian eventually figure that out, or sometimes they just need a chaotic push into reality. Mickey is fucking chaos. A south side tornado. _ _ Mickey: 17 yrs old, junior, drug addict, thief, complex sexuality. Ian: 15 yrs old, freshman, old soul, homosexual, outgoing, "straight edge"(meaning sober, but I put that in quotation marks because it doesn't last long..)
