With school, boyhood, and most of all rules to stop their fun, the only thing to do is rebel against the authorities. The boys feed off of each other’s personalities to survive daily life. This in turn makes them closer and they are sensitive to the feelings that they both possess. Being someone’s best friend is not easy.
