In my book "The Juvie Three" there are three main characters who go by the names of Graham "Gecko" Fosse, Terence Florian, and Arjay Moran.
Gecko was in juvie for being a getaway driver in a robbery. It all started when he was young, driving a go-kart. His older brother Reuben decided that Gecko was going to be the getaway driver for all of his heists. Gecko is a person who was good at two things, driving and not thinking. He doesn't really make a lot of decisions but when he does, it seems to get him in trouble. For example, when Mr. Healy is in the hospital, Gecko decides to go visit him to make sure he is still alive. It may seem like a good decision, but he is not supposed to leave his school or go anywhere unsupervised. He gets to the hospital and meets this girl Roxanne. This is where another bad decision is made. The couple had started dating and eventually, Roxanne invites Gecko to a party her father is having. They end up on a yacht and Gecko ends up face to face with the second highest rank police officer in New York - Deputy Chief Delancey. Eventually Delancy shows up at Gecko's school telling him he needs to break up with Roxanne. These decisions could have landed him and his two friends back in jail but luckily Chief Delancy does not know about Mr. Healy being in the hospital.
The next character is Terence Florian. He was a member of a gang in Chicago.He is sly, but yet he is loyal. Although he claims he does everything to save his "cred"(reputation), he has come through for both Gecko and Arjay. Terence has made many bad decisions throughout the novel. The fist being trying to find a "crew" to run with. He had tried to escape to meet this kid DeAndre, who he met in the school bathroom. DeAndre was selling stolen cell phones. This decision led to a struggle between the three boys which resulted in Healy landing both on the ground head first, then in the hospital. Another bad decision he has made is resorting to his old lifestyle. He constantly breaks the rules of the halfway house, but is yet to get caught by anyone other than Gecko or Arjay. Currently he is facing a decision to be accepted in DeAndres' crew. He must put an old lady in a fountain and bring her ring to DeAdre to prove it, if he does not, then he will be put in the fountain himself.
Finally there is Arjay Moran, the boy who is in jail for "murdering" the quarterback of his high school football team. Although he did punch the quarterback, he did not murder him. The quarterback fell back and hit his head off of the school statue and died. He is best described as the jolly green giant. He does not mean harm to anyone. He is the one always breaking up the fights between Gecko and Terence. He has made two bad decisions so far in the novel: he went out past curfew and seen Casey, a girl who he met in therapy. The second bad decision he made was he joined a band, which everyone fell in love with after just one performance. It was a bad decision because he's in a halfway house and can't go out unsupervised.
All in all, Gecko, Terence, and Arjay have all made bad decisions which could not only effect themselves, but all three of them. This leads up to my question, - If you were ever put in a position where you had to make a decision that would benefit you, but also drastically change the life of both others and yourself for the worse, what would you do?
