Meet The Crew

 Smart, athletic, and mischievous, John is always three moves ahead. He plans the prank, pulls it off, and slips away before anyone realizes what happened. With light brown hair and a sharp sense of logic, he naturally leads the group without ever trying to. John’s quiet charm puts adults slightly on edge. He gets good grades, solves everyone’s problems, and somehow ends up cleaning up someone else’s mess, usually Vinny’s. 

Vinny is a force of nature. Loud, fearless, and usually full of himself, he has a magnetic energy that pulls people in, and a mouth that tends to get him in trouble. Strong, fast, and dangerous on the field, he turns every backyard into a stadium and every disagreement into a story worth retelling. Whether it’s a footrace, a prank, or a fart war, Vinny has to win, and if he doesn’t, he rewrites the ending.

Ready for the next character when you are.

 Maria isn't just part of the chaos, she is the chaos. Known as Hurricane Maria, she blows into every scene like she owns it and refuses to leave until she gets what she wants. Fearless, relentless, and louder than everyone else combined, Maria seems to treat chasing John like a full-time job. She never takes no for an answer, which makes her both terrifying and hilarious. 

Dax plays the long game. He doesn't run faster or hit harder, he just rewrites the rules while everyone else is still arguing about them. He doesn't think outside the box, he rewires it. Sharp, deadpan, and always calculating, Dax sees the world like a grid of probabilities and loopholes. He's not the best athlete, but he doesn't need to be. He can beat you with a rulebook, a rigged deck, or a subtle bet you didn't even know you made. 

The youngest of the crew by a year, Ricky has heart, hustle, and enough nervous energy to light up the block. He tends to blurt out whatever he's thinking, but he's the one everyone wants on their team, even if he occasionally drops the ball. His dad is a doctor, his mom a nurse, and Ricky lives like he's always trying to impress them. He's usually the first to volunteer, the last to quit, and often the one who ends up with his shoelaces stuck in his bike chain. 

Gina is the one who gets away. Always has been. Still is. She doesn’t say much, but when she does, everyone stops talking. She can silence a room with a glance, and no one ever really figures out if she likes them, hates them, or is just putting up with them. She’s distant, mysterious, and completely out of our league, and we all know it. 

 Kelly is the kind-hearted new girl from North Carolina with movie-star looks and a soft Southern drawl. She’s patient with the boys’ antics, gracefully ignoring their failed pick-up lines and bad jokes. Her quiet charm and beauty make her instantly unforgettable.

Beth doesn’t need to say much. One glance from her and the room seems to pause. Boys straighten up, girls fix their hair, and teachers suddenly remember her name. There’s something about the way she carries herself: polished, unbothered, and always one step ahead. Her gold hoops sparkle, her puff stays flawless, and her silence says more than most people’s best speeches.

 He doesn’t talk much. He doesn’t laugh much. But when he moves, you get out of the way. Short, stocky, and intimidating, Max is like a pit bull in sneakers. He isn’t flashy. He doesn’t need to be. He says what needs to be said, usually once, and lets his fists do the rest. Even as a kid, he can clear a backyard just by cracking his knuckles. He’s also the only one who always brings extra snacks to the game. 

Lenny is the nice one. Too nice. Picked last for kickball, first for clean-up. But when push comes to shove, he shows up. His mom is a sweetheart, and Lenny takes after her, except when he gets fired up, which is rare but unforgettable. He’s not built for conflict, but he’s built for loyalty. And somehow, he always ends up king of the school dances and plays. 

Mike Romano is the king of pranks, and nobody ever sees them coming. Baseball catcher, chaos engineer, and the kind of kid who always has a plan, a backup plan, and probably a fake mustache in his locker just in case. Cross him, and you’ll end up soaked, humiliated, or dripping in something neon. 

Blaze is Vinny’s wild cousin with a video camera permanently glued to his shoulder and a smirk for a smile. He films everything, says anything, and somehow always escapes consequences. Part director, part chaos gremlin, Blaze turns every beach day or prank war into a low-budget movie, usually one he’s narrating in real time. 

Jill is sharp, sarcastic, and always watching — usually with arms crossed and an eyebrow raised. She’s the queen of deadpan commentary and knows every embarrassing moment the boys hope to forget. Smart and stylish, she’s usually two steps ahead of their chaos.

 Eddie has a beard at thirteen. While the rest of us are still figuring out razors, he looks like he borrowed his uncle’s face. He doesn’t mind the jokes. He just combs it, smirks, and lets us wear ourselves out. And when it comes to mopeds, Eddie isn’t just fast. He’s the kid with the rocket bike that blows by you like you’re standing still. If he says, “race me,” you think twice. 

Erica always looks like she knows something you don’t, and she probably does. She moves through middle school like a shadow with a book, quiet and unbothered, taking mental notes on everyone’s mistakes. She doesn’t gossip or glare. She just observes, waits, and drops the occasional line that leaves people stunned. You never see her coming, but she sees everything. 

Artistic and bold, Heidi wears purple like armor and sketches life with savage accuracy. She doesn’t fear confrontation and isn’t afraid to call out stupidity with a pen or a stare. Beneath her cool, creative edge is someone fiercely loyal to her friends. 

Mitch talks a big game and somehow backs it up with just enough charm to get by. With feathered hair and boardwalk swagger, he treats every job like a performance and every conversation like a monologue. Girls, tourists, even teachers fall for his shtick. 

Ramone never speaks, and that makes him ten times more mysterious. He plays a silent gold robot on the space travel ride and disappears just as easily in real life. No one knows what he’s thinking, and no one’s brave enough to ask.
