In my book,"Twisted", by Laurie Halse Anderson, Tyler, a high school senior, is going to meetings for "The Foul Deed", which is when Tyler vandalized the school. To pay off the value of what he vandalized, he works for Pirelli's Landscaping. Near the beginning of the book, he goes to a potluck hosted by his dad's boss. At the potluck, he gets into a fight with Chip, who is the son of Tyler's father's boss. Chip pushes him into a waiter and glass shatters, causing Chip's sister, Bethany, to get many stitches. After Tyler goes to a party, he gets into trouble with the law, and that's when the trouble starts.
The protagonist in this book is Tyler. He is a good-hearted character, and is on probation for his Foul Deed. His dad is not the best dad, and is always frustrated and has outbursts of anger. His enemy, which happens to be the antagonist, is his boss' son, Chip.
Chip is the antagonist of this book. He despises Tyler, and injures him on many occasions. Tyler is physically stronger than Chip, however, he does not want to get his dad fired. Nevertheless, he threatens Chip near the end, and his dad gets fired.
Chip and Tyler have both despised each other, and their relationship seems to go back a long way. The reason is not stated in the book, but I think Chip hates Tyler after he starts seeing Bethany. I think Chip feels this way because he feels Tyler is stealing Bethany away from him.
