Adonis is brilliant, he gets all A's and is polite, quiet,the head of the chess club and the wrestling team manager. Adonis is in a wheelchair because he was born without legs below his knees, but that doesn't keep him back.
Autumn is a brilliant wrestler,she can strategize in a second on the mat. She's a good friend and a great cook but she can't do school. She can't read and she's behind in everything else too. Autumn also loves Adonis and follows, stalk is his word, him everywhere. He can't stand her, but for some reason he keeps dreaming about her. As annoying as she is, she gets under his skin.(less)
