Despite the fact Beckett often got in trouble, he grew up to be a good kid while the rarely busted Duane grew up to be bad. Duane makes fun of anyone he can and he is a merciless bully, holding a personal vendetta against Beckett and any of his allies. Duane bullies anyone he can sense a weakness about. He also deludes people into betraying their friends so he can "overcome" them much easier. Duane has few true friends, those who are his true friends are either not seen around him or they are helping him. Despite the fact Beckett is not a member of a clique, he and Duane become hostile towards each other on sight.
