== Roberto Figueroa ==
An abrasive man who rarely seems to face consequences for his actions.<ref name=":5">A big red pickup with oversized tires and all the trimmings sat in her parking spot.  It was elevated, exposing the work that had been done to give it additional exhaust pipes, and had a decal across the back that read ‘GO HOME FAT CHICKS’.<br><br>With the way it was parked, it simultaneously occupied Mrs. Preston’s parking spot.  And William Love’s, and the parking spot of the hoarder in room thirty-seven.  It sat diagonally, centered on the point where the four spots met.<br><br>'''Frigging Mr. Figueroa.'''<br><br>She could have called the tow company, but she’d been around the block on this one.  She’d been around the block on a '''lot''' of fronts.  Roberto Figueroa wouldn’t get towed.  He was pretty much invincible when it came to that stuff.  If anything, he would thrive on skating by.  Deborah in fifteen had called a noise complaint on him at the start of the year, and the cop that ended up arriving was Roberto’s buddy from a few years ago.

He steals a car, cops come, he bails, turns out the house he left the car at is this kid he doesn’t like, who doesn’t know what’s going on, says the wrong thing, is wearing the wrong color shirt, and the kid gets in trouble instead.

But that’s a whole tangent I don’t want to get into.  Point is, for ''him'', it’s about being the jerk.  He lies, gets reward money, picks a fight, the kid he punched gets in trouble.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/03 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.3]]</ref>
