The Book I am reading is called Runner by Carl Deuker. The book starts of in the main character Chance's, Highschool class where he encounters Brent Miller, a much older guy than he is whos father used to go and drink with chance's father before Chance's father and Brent's father had a fight. After the fight Chance's father was sent to jail for a few days and Brent's father ended up at the hospital. So Brent got really mad that Chance's father had beat his father's ass so every chance Brent got, he would shove Chance into lockers or he would squeeze his face with his hand. Brent promised him that he would someday get Chance alone and then he would show him what pain really was. Brent eventually did get him alone in the bathroom with one of his friends and they flipped him over and dunked his head into a toilet with piss and poop. They left him crying and terrorized on the bathroom floor until a big guy from the football team picked him up and help wash himself off in the sink. Now back to the present Brent is back as a war hero even though he knows very little about the army and he"s trying to act as a war hero in Chance's classroom as an honorary guest. I wonder what will happen now between chance and Brent now that they have encountered each other again? I guess I'll have to keep reading to find out, but over all the book is amazing so far.
