Something that really stands out to me is that Gianfranco acts calm and more mature around the football team, but gets the big-headed jock attitude around those who aren't on the team. It's neat because most of the jocks act terribly immature around each other - around football - because that's just... who they really are. Yet, Gianfranco approaches football with a level head and actually does his best in math (next to athletics).

I'm curious, is there some sort of reasoning for this? Perhaps when he's with the jocks, he's got less to prove because everyone is into football with the same level of enthusiasm as he is, but when he's with others, they don't really take it so seriously? Or maybe age is a factor, as he's one of the older students around Bullworth?

I think it's awesome, either way, because while he's obviously defined as a "jock", he doesn't have to be identical to all of the jocks and you've really taken the liberty of making him a unique person rather than just another stock character. ( :
