Rowdys`s parents are drunks and he gets beaten up very often by his father. Junior´s parents are drunks too, but they would never beat him up, so Rowdy is hanging out at Junior´s house most of his time because it is a “safe place”. Rowdy asks Junior if he wants to go down to the powwow, the Spokane Tribe’s annual Labor Day weekend celebration. Junior really doesn’t want to go, because he knows that he will get beaten up there. Rowdy tells him that he will defeat him, so Junior agrees. The two boys walk the three miles to the powwow. Rowdy trips and jams his shoulder on a minivan. Junior laughs, which is a big, huge, terrible mistake.Angry, Rowdy shoves Junior down to the ground. He then throws an empty beer bottle at the minivan, and then, if that weren’t enough, he grabs a shovel and beats the vehicle with it.Junior runs away  into the camp of a set of very cruel triplets named the Andruss brothers. The three boys started laughing about Junior and knocking him down the ground. After that all, they just walk away and Rowdy finds Junior on the ground and vows revenge against the triplets. He does so later that night when the men are asleep. He sneaks into their camp, shaves off their eyebrows, and cuts their braids.Also, Junior tells that Rowdy is more important than his own family.

Dear Diary,

Today Junior told me that he is going to go to Reardan high school, so he will left the rez. He said he will do it tomorrow. I couldn´t believe it. I asked if he`s serious and he was…        I was so mad at him and… I can`t believe that i`ve done this,but.. I slapped him in his face. He wants me to go with him. I can`t understand how he came on that idea. I WON´T go to Reardan. I don´t know what to do right now because I can`t let him go. He is my best friend and now he wants to leave the rez. I will tell you more tomorrow . Good night!

Dear diary!

Today I saw the cartoon Junior made about himself. On the picture, he looks very stupid and wrote how he feels about that he lisps and that the others on the rez are bullying him. I asked Junior about the cartoon . I really wanted to know why he is showing himself like this. He told me, that its very hard for him to live on the rez and that he couldnt live and be without me. I knew that everyones beating and bullying him , but I thought that he doesnt feel so bad. I thought he is ignoring it and making the best of it, but it isnt. I told him to look forward and not to think about what others think about Junior. I hope he`ll think about my words.

Rowdy.
