Biography[]
At High School[]
At school, the toxic macho footballers, Vic and his gang, consistently bully Cal. One of Vic's friends, Hank, tries to cheat on Cal's paper during the exam. However, Talley, the teacher, catches Hank and his friend and bans them from playing the much-awaited football match next week. After school, Vic, Hank, and Big Ern catch Cal. They threaten Cal to take his complaint back and convince Talley to let Hank and Big Ern play the match. Cal pleads that he didn't tell the teacher anything, and Talley acted independently, but Vic refused to hear his plea. The gang later puts Cal in a trash bin and kicks him down the staircase.
The school counselor calls Cal to her office and inquires about his brawl with Vic near the football field. However, before Cal can speak, the football coach, Wilkes, brings Vic into the office. Wilkes blames Cal for stalking Gabby and slipping a sketch in her bag without permission. Feeling guilty, Cal quickly explains that nothing happens at the football field, and the counselor ends the discussion. At Gabby's request, Cal visits a party at Vic's home, and uninvited Cecily crashes too. Cal and Cecily spend time together during the night, and Vic and his friend find the new couple sitting near the parking lot. To bully them, Vic locks Cal inside his car trunk and tries to touch Cecily inappropriately to take revenge on Cal for asking Gabby for a homecoming dance. To take revenge on Vic, Cal fire-bombed Vic's car. However, Hank saw Cal running away in his mother's car with his dog Runt inside it during the retreat.
The Toxic Revenge[]
In fear, Cal skipped school the following day and bought brass knuckles to fight against Vic and his gang. Cal came to school, and his best friend, Borgie, lauded Cal's retaliation. At this point, Borgie explained to Cal that he cut his bike's chain in anger because Cal wasn't doing anything against Vic and his bullies. After school, Vic and his gang cornered Cal and tried to hit him. Cal took out the knuckles from his bag and punched the gang, and broke Vic's finger. Vic wouldn't be able to play the football game with a broken finger, and he blamed Cal for it. In the morning, after Cecily left, Cal found out that someone killed his dog with a baseball bat and threw the body in the bin. In a fit of rage, Cal confronted Vic in school, but he denied the allegations. To take his revenge, Cal started stalking Vic and his gang. On the game night, Cal sneaked into the locker room and replaced Hank's cocaine with Ajax Bleach Powder. During the half-time, Hank and Big Ern snorted the powder and burnt their nostrils with bleach. The coach called the doctors, and Vic's team lost the match.
After the tragedy, Cal confronted Vic with a baseball bat and hit him. Under threat, Vic confessed to killing Runt and explained to Cal that he came to the house to beat him, but his dog started barking at him. In a way, Runt saved Cal's life or saved him from injury, but he lost his life in the rescue. Cal asked Vic to apologize for killing his dog, but an abusive and proud Vic refused. Vic was filled with toxic ego and pride and didn't feel guilty about bullying Cal and killing his dog. Cal tried to hit Vic when Borgie came there with his mother's gun to teach him a lesson. Cal patiently convinced Borgie not to use the gun and destroy their future. He took the gun from Borgie and asked him to leave. Vic ran away from there using the opportunity, and Cal followed him with a gun in his hand.
Ending[]
In the end, an enraged Cal pointed a gun at Vic and decided to make him pay with his life for killing Runt. Fortunately, Cecily found them before Cal could commit a grave crime and stopped Cal from pulling the trigger. She gave Cal the baseball bat with which Vic killed Runt. Cal hit Vic's already fractured finger with the bat to give him a fatal injury that he would remember for a lifetime. After taking his revenge, Cal requested Cecily to run away, but she refused. Cecily wanted to share the punishment with Cal and thus decided to stay behind as the sirens arrived in the background. Before the screen faded out, Cal and Cecily entered the homecoming dance event together. They held each other's hands and comforted each other for the difficult time that was about to arrive. Probably, the police would arrest Cal for trying to kill Hank and Big Ern and assaulting Vic with a baseball bat. Maybe Vic would get away with killing Runt, but he learned a memorable lesson on the journey that he would probably remember before bullying anyone else in school or life.
Abilities[]
- Leadership: Due to his time of playing quarterback in football, Vic has the loyalty of ordering his team to everyone of his demands during games. Until eventually this skill also allows him getaway with many plots in messing with others for unpleasant reasons towards them.
- Brawling: During the film, he shows skill in brawling such as using a baseball bat to brutally beat Runt to death and later gets aid from his ego allowing him rage to briefly fight against Cal till he is interrupted by Borgie then is defeated.
- Deception: Vic has charisma which allows him to be a really good liar at making up stories to cover all wrongdoings towards others. Such as going to the principals office with the Coach to say that Cal was stalking his girlfriend after handing a sketched picture of her causing Cal to back off from approaching Gabby intentionally. The party at his house, he and his friends bullied both Cal and Cecily by tossing him to the trunk of his car before he inappropriately touches Cecily and acts innocent when Gabby pushes him. A week later when being confronted by Cal for killing his dog, he completely lies in to his face which he buys until he admits that he did kill Runt by mimicking howling noises in front of him.
- Witness Immunity: All the times causing trouble, Vic always gets away with everything involving illegal flaws Coach Wilkes was told that he started the fight with Cal and the only thing he was angry about was Vic getting his hand messed up and still letting him participate in the game anyway. At the end of the film, after being ambushed by Cal, Borgie, and Cecily avenging Runt's death, he said that he would willingly turn himself in to the authorities but Cal said that they would not arrest him for the crime, and after Cal completely breaks his arm with a bat it's more than likely he'll get away with everything but remain defective and chances of getting out of high school were sabotaged.
