This despite the fact that the story really revolves around two characters, Neil McCormick and Brian Lackey. But, my mind reasons with my heart - perhaps, if their story were to continue - beyond the place of which we left them at - it would become another part of their lives - one Scott Heim's intention was probably not for this story. One boy becomes a reckless, sexually adventurous sex worker (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), while the other ( Brady Corbet) retreats into a reclusive fantasy of alien abduction.

Neil's box bursts open spilling cereal everywhere, but Coach uses this opportunity to throw his cereal everywhere and he ends up kissing Neil, telling him everything is going to be ok. Brian meets this other goth kid, Eric, and I remember thinking this kid was some kind of angel or something (not to sound completely stupid right now).
