For Josh, I did go a little Aladdin with him. The fact that he is a good kid surrounded by rotten stinking people (his parents). I guess I hinted on that in the chapter title, where he went on the date with Christy. The whole plot of the Bullies chapter was based off his influences.

Everyone in the whole school, except for the staff know he went off his meds. The adults of Bullworth are idiots.

The way I see Peanut and Alexis is, they are really good friends first. They got to know each other. Everything between them just works. I did pick up on a bit of Peanut/Alexis from the first chapter. But with Johnny, it seems like they are both holding onto the fantasy of what could have been. Like if Alexis never left, Johnny never would have dated Lola. Now she is back, they are trying too hard to live in the past. But Alexis and Peanut are in the present.

I really am tempted to explore it. Russell is a good character, who deserves love. Plus, ironically, as Russell's girl, Becky would become the Bullies girl. Picture that. A girl that is against everything they stand for, one of them.
