trigger warning: drug dealing.

Tiny’s life was laid out for him before he was born. Both of the Bell brothers – Vince and Deon – were expected to carry on a family business, no matter what felonies or jail stints it could bring. While his brother leaned into it, his hand forced by the need to take care of his baby brother, Tiny always wanted more for his life than selling pills and collecting debts. He did all he could to keep his head afloat, leaning into the things that he thrived at – Science and Math were his forte, ultimately landing him in many advanced classes with conversations of Ivy Leagues coming with it.

The only thing standing in the way is the person who raised him: Vince. While Vince is the reason he’s always had a roof over his head, the older man is also the person who won’t let Tiny out of his reach. Between ego and keeping the business going, the idea of Tiny leaving for university was out of the question. He hadn’t intended to play a part in his brother being put behind bars, but when the opportunity to better his life came along -- There was no other choice. As relieving as it may be, iIt’s freedom with an expiration date, something that will bite him in the ass once Vince finds out who got him arrested – But for now, Tiny has a chance to build a life he wants, rather than live the one he’s expected to have.

connections.

ZIG NOVAK – roommate, best friend. It’s no question that Zig and Tiny have been through hell and back together. No matter if it’s a stint in juvie, Zig getting kicked out, or evading arrest — The two have had each other's back, ready to jump in and help the other without hesitation. Now that Vince is in jail, the two are seemingly no longer bound by his whims or the gang, free to simply be college students rather than drug dealers. Regardless, Tiny knows the day will come that his brother will return eventually, and he’ll be forced back to square one — And may end up dragging Zig down with him.

GRACE CARDINAL – close friend. One of the few constants in Tiny’s life is Grace. They’ve lived in the same neighborhood their entire lives, often finding themselves in the same classes throughout their years in school. The two have remained close since kindergarten, with Grace being the brains of the operation and Tiny doing everything he can to keep her from going down a path that involves his brother. Their trio expands to Zig as well, though he feels more responsibility for Grace. She’s essentially the sister he never had, a sibling who truly wants the best for him — Not one that wants to use him for their own gain.

TORI SANTAMARIA – secret crush. Tiny has known Tori for years, because of her relationship with his best friend, Zig. It only made sense for them to become friends, given how often they crossed paths. Unfortunately for Tiny, that brought on an unexpected crush on the girl – He can see why Zig liked her, with the way she effortlessly pulls people in. This is a secret he’s decided to take to the grave, considering the obvious. However, try as he may, he can’t seem to squash his lingering feelings for Tori. He kept this fact to himself for years, hoping that Zig and Tori’s final break up would mean he would be able to put his unresolved feelings to rest.

WINSTON CHU — pupil, unlikely friend. Wanting to get as far ahead as he could, Tiny took biology over the summer — Meeting Winston Chu in the process. He hadn’t anticipated befriending the other man, considering at first glance they seemed to be complete opposites. But, bonding over their love for comics, the two grew close, finding themselves studying together for each assignment. Between realizing they’d be living in the same dorm in the fall, and Tiny tutoring Winston throughout the summer — They’ve become good friends.
