Answer: Griffin

Will Griffin was a young man who lived with his older sister Paige. His mother died from an illness and his father was long gone. Will and his sister lived in a place called Imperial Beach before they moved to a town called Agua Seca that was in the middle of the desert.

Answer: Paige

Paige was a young woman who seemed to be pretty lazy and Will was the one who clean up after her. After the death of her mother, Paige became the guardian of Will until he reached the age of eighteen.

Answer: Agua Seca

After Will and Paige left Imperial Beach, they moved to Agua Seca and they started living in a trailer. They also obtained a job at a restaurant called Snakebite and that was where Will met Mike. But, Mike was a girl. She said that her mother had everything planned when she was pregnant with her, including her name.

After her mother gave birth to her, she was completely resistant to the idea of changing the name to anything else.

Answer: Cindy

According to Mike, Cindy always went around and did stuff like that to the boys at school and almost all of them became her victims. She did the same thing to Will, but later on he rejected her.

Answer: Marcella

Marcella was an anthropologist who spent most of her time doing nothing but her job. Mike didn't really like her mother that much for many reasons. One of the reasons why was because her mother treated her as if she were still a little child when she was actually seventeen.

Answer: Sam

Sam was a man who lived in a trailer in Agua Seca. He was actually the one who taught Will how to carve wood into a certain figure and make it look realistic. Will started off using wax before he moved on to actually carving wood. Pretty soon, Will discovered that he had a special talent and that special talent was what got him accepted at UCLA.

Answer: Macey

Mike really enjoyed filming and making movies. In fact, she wanted to go to UCLA so she could learn everything she could about her interest. At the end of the story, she was accepted at UCLA and she was going to start attending at the school at the beginning of the approaching autumn.

Answer: False

Actually, Will told his sister that his destiny waited for him at UCLA. Paige wanted Will to go with her and her boy friend Timothy to live in San Francisco because they were planning on opening a restaurant. Will wanted to go, but he wanted to go to UCLA more.

At the time Paige was making plans to leave Agua Seca, Will had already turned eighteen and he didn't need Paige as a guardian anymore.

Answer: UCLA

Will was going to go to UCLA to learn everything he could about making realistic figures and images out of wood. Before his sister left Agua Seca and started heading for San Francisco, he told Paige to hurry up and write him a letter telling him her address and phone number after she had found a place to live.

Answer: Snakebite

Will and Paige had to get up early in the morning because the Snakebite basically opened before the sun woke up. When they were working, either Will or Paige would sometimes spill things and Will would always be the one who had to clean it up. The Snakebite was actually where Will met Sam for the first time just like the Snakebite was where he first met Mike too.
