The Chocolate War

Jerry Renault is not the best-liked kid in his school. He barely had any respect, even though he is the quarterback for his school's football team. In the beginning Jerry had lots of friends. But no one knew what is in store for Jerry. Jerry had no idea how his life is about to change.

Brother Leon is not very happy with the fact that the sales were going down so he talked to The Vigils and they agreed to help. The Vigils sent the school teams in to neighborhoods and told them to sell chocolates. The chocolates they were selling were being credited to the other people's sales. So even though they were not making sales they were still getting them. The sudden increase of sales made Brother Leon very happy. The Vigils still had a bone to pick with Jerry, they were very mad at him because
