Mark and Bryon's feeling about each other change throughout the novel. Throughout the majority of the novel, Bryon and Mark have a close relationship which is similar to that of brothers. Mark and Bryon are continually helping one another avoid trouble and get revenge on those who've wronged them. Bryon comforts Mark after Mark gets injured in a fight outside of a school dance, and Mark assists Bryon in his search to find M&M. As the two friends grow older, they both experience traumatic events, and Bryon becomes closer with his girlfriend, Cathy. Mark's careless, immoral behavior becomes evident to Bryon, which causes a strain on their relationship. After Bryon calls the police on Mark for dealing drugs, their friendship is ruined. Mark resents Bryon for informing the police, and whenever Bryon visits Mark in the reformatory, Mark tells Bryon that he hates him. The two boys go from being close friends who share a mutual love and respect for one another, to distant strangers.
