A/N: A really quick but important note to you, dear reader: Some of the songs written by other artists will be written by Gladiator and her band. I will say the real artist at the end of a chapter that such things. Also until I run out of songs, the chapters will be named after a song that was written/will be written by Up To Fate and/or Gladiator. Now, go and read on.

Gladiator P.O.V

"DIA GET UP!" I heard my older brother, Michael, yell in my ear. I shot up to see him laughing on the floor. I got up slowly out of bed, grabbing my pillow  on the way, and towered over his position on the floor. H  looked genuinely scared.

"What?" Michael asked with a nervous smile. Not gonna work buddy. I raised the pillow, smiled at him in an innocent way, then smacked him with pillow. Several times. Eventually I stopped because I knew we had to go to school.

I extended my hand and he grabbed and I pulled him up and he hugged me then walks  out to go get ready. This is the type of relationship I have with my siblings. We fight over stupid shit then either laugh or hug afterwards, usually it's a mix of both.

I grabbed some random clothes and put them on.

I smiled at myself in the large mirror in my shared bedroom and walked out grabbing my 'Hollywood Undead' backpack on the way out

I smiled at myself in the large mirror in my shared bedroom and walked out grabbing my 'Hollywood Undead' backpack on the way out. I walked downstairs for breakfast and sat at the table, letting my bag fall beside me. I was always in the middle between Michael and my twin brother, Pompeii.

"Here ya go, loves." My mom, whom was Italian mixed with Native American and a bit of Irish, said handing us all a plate of pancakes with bacon.

"YASSSSSSSSSS mother I love you." I said then starting eating. What? Food is good. Food is life. It's amazing in case you've never ate it. My mom chuckled and starting feed my baby brother, James, while taking care of my little sister, Italy. I finished then decided to help my mom.

"Come on, Italy. Let's go get you dressed for school!" I picked my sister up and my mother gave me a look as if to say Thank the gods! Gladiator you are a saint!  I mouthed 'you're welcome' as I carried my sister up the stairs and into the bedroom she shares with my mom.

I share one with James since I can make him fall asleep easily so my mom has the other little shit (Italy). Italy finally settled on a blue and white striped dress with her white flats and a blue headband. She said it had something to do with "Stacyplays" a YouTuber which I would be prouder than I was if she talked that way about Bands. *cough* *cough* All Time Low *cough* Ahem. Sorry.

I brushed her hair and put the headband in just as my mom walked in with a sleeping James. I quickly hugged my mom goodbye and gave her a kiss on the cheek then walked down the stairs, Italy practically dragging me by my hand.

"Come on! Quickly Children!" Michael said, shooing US out the door.

"Shut up, Mike." I laughed and carried my bag and Italy out the door. I put Italy in the car then said goodbye to her and hugged Mike goodbye as me and Pompeii walk to school rather than riding with our siblings. We'll see Mike later anyway.

I was sitting outside for my last period, Lunch. Yes I know it's stupid that they make us wait so long but it's for an hour anyway. Literally everyone was outside. They were all separated into the different cliques of our school.

Pompeii with the Nerds, Mike with the football team as he was Captain of it, me with the burnouts because they were really cool and didn't hurt me. In fact, they stood up for me. If you bully me, you better not let them see you hurt/harass me or else you'll die.

"Sooo anyone you like, eh?" Luke asked, nudging me with his elbow as he was finished his cigarette. I slapped him as he let out a laugh that could only make you laugh with him. Carlos and Parker chuckled at our sibling behavior. My head turned towards them and I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Stop that Dia!" Carlos slapped my arm while Parker just stood there blushing. I ship them and I'm pretty sure Parker has this giant crush on Carlos. Luke and I laughed along with KJ, Logan and Kyler. Eventually, Carlos and Parker joined in.

All of a sudden a few punk or possibly scene looking boys came up to us,not specifically me. Immediately, Kyler, Luke and KJ got overprotective and put Carlos in charge of watching me. It's Carlos he's the jokester, the Court Jester, the Class Clown. He ain't gonna do shit unless needed.

"Chill dude! Honestly you people." Logan laughed while shaking his head. Luke death glared him and he shut up instantly then I laughed and shoved my way through them so I could face the boys properly.

"Sorry about them. They're a little sensitive. Anyway, whatcha need?" I asked politely.

"It's fine. I mean I get it. We were actually wondering if you, um, wanted to join our, uh, band?" One of the boys with dirty blond hair asked nervously. Seriously? They have to be joking. I can't fucking sing or play guitar, drums or any other instrument well enough for a band.

"Are you sure? I mean like I am not even good enough for them," I pointed to the Burnouts. "Let alone you guys."

"Yes we're positive. Unless you're not Gladiator? Y'know Pompeii's sister?" The other  boy with chocolate brown hair said.

"Oh well that's me, unfortunately. I'm so sorry for you poor souls that know of my existence." I replied. Carlos slapped me in the back of the head then shouted something in Korean as he was half. I'm assuming the Korean sentence was something alone the lines of: Don't think like that! Be happy!

"Fine, fine. I get it. But in all seriousness, if you're really sure you want me to join, then sure." I shrugged. The blond boy and his chocolate haired friend jumped in victory then ran over to Pompeii. Ooookaaaayyyy.

What have I gotten myself into?
