In Project X, Hanratty and Flake are the two main characters. Hanratty changes greatly over the course of the book. One day he's at one end of the spectrum and then the next he's at the other end. Hanratty is a shy, not so talkative boy at his school. He gets bullied constantly and never does much about it. His friend Flake, on the other hand is a rowdy, sarcastic kinda guy.
He also gets bullied alot and he gets sick of it. The way these two boys interact with the other characters help the plot evolve. Since these boys were bullied most of their life, they decide its time for a change. As Flake gears up the ammo and draws out a plan for revenge, it might take a turn for the worst. Overall, these characters change in the book. From quiet, bullieed 8th graders to weapon crazed, revenge fools.
