You were Balkan’s best friend since you guys first met when you were 6 at Doc’s. You guys are now 18. He is in a gang called ‘The Jets’. There was another gang they always fought who were ‘The Sharks’, who were Puerto Rican. You’re a neutral. You weren’t in neither gang. One day, you were walking out of Doc’s drugstore. The Jets walked pass you, Balkan saw you and gave you a little soft smile.
