Nate

Nate is the typical boy next door. He's popular at school and everyone seems to like him. He's president of the student council and all around a good guy. But, ruby doesn't think this at first. Her first impression of him is that he tries to hard. Though eventually, Ruby gets to know Nate. He is hiding something and he doesn't want anyone to know. Nate works with his dad for his dad's company. Their company basically does chores for other people, such as, picking up your dry cleaning or walking your dog. Eventually the company starts to go downhill and when this happens Nate's dad gets stressed. He takes out his stress on Nate. The secret that Nate was trying to hide for so long was that his dad beats him. Nate did want help yet he didn't want anyone to know which didn't work out. Eventually Ruby finds out and gets Nate away from his dad for good.
