Skate: part deux (#2)

Ian has a best friend, who is also a skater, named Bernie. They are distinct personalities at Morrison and like to stand out. Bernie's dad is a homosexual and yet he calls people dykes. I find that quite ironic. This led him to be persecuted by a lot of the jocks at the high school. Ian has a little brother that he has to look after because he is slow mentally. Ian helps him study even though he has trouble succeeding. Their mom is rarely home because of work, and their house looks like a dump. Their lives look pretty concerning at the moment and i want to know what will happen next.
