Dan and Doug led the journalism club. While Dan was generally regarded as a better writer than Doug, Doug was invaluable to the publication for his investigative skills. Together, they had
uncovered a scandal in the cafeteria that had been dubbed "Horsemeat-Gate." Due to Dan and
Doug's compelling story, interest in the high school paper grew. Dan was even interviewed by the
local paper. During the interview Dan spoke at length about all he had done to write the story. He
failed to mention Doug's involvement. Doug felt slighted and confronted Dan, but Dan asserted
that he was the main writer of the story and therefore deserved the credit. Shortly after the blowout,
Doug left the journalism club. The people of the town were interested in the high school paper, but
without Doug's knack for finding good stories, the quality of the paper diminished and so did
interest in the paper. Now that his popularity surge had ended, Dan had more time to think. He
reasoned that they'd still be on top of the world if Doug hadn't been so stubbom and selfish.
