The story Sucker takes place in your average American town where the main character Pete, a love sick high school student, lives with his younger cousin Sucker. We’ve all heard our parents say “would you jump off a bridge if your friend did?” Well in this case if Pete told Sucker to jump off a bridge Sucker would actually do it. In the beginning of the story Pete is hostile towards Sucker but that all changes when Maybelle, who is in the prettiest girl in the school in Pete’s opinion, starts to give Pete the time of day. As Pete and Maybelles relationship begins to grow, so does Pete and Suckers. They begin to talk more and Pete even gives him some of his valuable possessions. One day after Maybelle has been ignoring Pete, Sucker tries to ask him something and Pete blows up. He yells insult after insult and Sucker just sits there. That turns out to be the last time Pete and Sucker talk for a while because Sucker goes off and makes some friends and Pete falls in to a state of depression. Pete wishes he could apologize to Sucker but he is afraid sucker might kill him.
