Twelve by Nick McDonell

It´s teen night at the recreational center (rec) and much black boys are playing basketball there and they are wearing do-rags and jordans. Hunter is one of two white boys in the rec the other one is arturo a short puerto rican kid. hunter McCulloh is a wiry white kid, he is six feet tall and has the best ups of the guys at the rec but he has the worst ball-handling skills.
Nana who is a black boy and the best handler on the court gets fouled and has to go out. Hunter comes for Nana in the game but the game stopped again when Nana wants to play again on his position where hunter is playing. Hunter never wanted to cause any trouble and he wanted to let Nana play but the others say that Hunter Hunter should play and Nana should leave the court.Nana is pissed off and hits Hunter in his face. Hunter doesn´t want to fight and backs off.Hunter is really muscular and finally he hits Nana and he sank on the floor. When Nana gets up again he shoots an elbow to Hunter´s ear. Nana gets Hunter´s knee twice to hias teeth when he attacks Hunter. Everywhere was blood on the floor and they are ending the fight. Then Arturo wants that they fight again because he thinks that this waas the coolest thing he ever seen but Hunter said that he should go away so Arturo calls Hunter a pussy. Hunter is crazed and thinks that this is too much and he throws a basketball at the back of Arturo´s head and he falls down face first. Arturo doesn´t want any trouble with Hunter so he let him and Nana goes out without looking at Hunter.

White Mike who is the main character of the story is a drug dealer. He is thin and pale,he wears jeans, a hooded sweatshirt and a dark blue overcoat from Brooks Brothers and his hair is blond and really short.
Although White Mike deals with drugs he never smoked a cigarette or had a drink. He sells his drugs in New York after he had seen the movie "American Beauty".
When White Mike started to deal with drugs it was summer and hot. He tried to stay awake as long as he can and after three days he was dirty and looked a bit scary.When White Mike ran away from Hunter who is a good friend of White Mike there were some kids in the park who said madman running to White Mike. Then he walked to them and said madman, madman, madman, madman and he barked and howled to them. So the kids ran away and Hunter brought White Mike in a cab and he drove home where he collapsed in his bed.
White Mike´s mother is dead and he remembers at her and that she told him something about Chaos Theory.
