Chapter One - Newbies
I hate him! He always has time to do his job, but never spend time with his own daughter, and then has the nerve to make a big decision that would impact MY life forever! Well you know what? Forget him.
So I jump on my bike, and head straight to the meeting place of my gang. There I find Celena, the leader of the gang, beating up one of the newbies for coming late to the meeting. Boy, would she be bruised, wait a minute, that left hook she just got is going to leave her batter, bruised AND broken.
Flashback
"Bryony! Get you lazy butt down here NOW or else!" Wow what a way to wake someone up. "Ok mom!" Moving as slow as possible just to spite her, slowly rolling of the bed which did not go as planned.
I ended up falling face first off the bed which hurt so bad I even thought I saw Oalof singing 'In Summer'. "FUDGE!" "What was that? Are you killing anyone up there honey?" yells my oh so optimistic mom. "No mom! Just had a run in with the floor!" "Ok" she yells a little too jovially. Now that was wierd.
After brushing my teeth and putting on a black tank top and brown shorts I ran down stairs and to the kitchen because thats obviously where the food is. My mom was standing over the stove making scrambled eggs. "So whats got you so excited so early in the morning?" I asked with caution knowing my mom had no care with some of the things she said to me, which trust me would make the Three Blind Mice want to be deaf too.
"Oh nothing really, except...........WE'RE MOVING!!!!!!!" she yelled jumping up and down like Candice from Phineas and Ferb when she had a squirel in her pants.
"WAIT WHAT?" I yelled while hyperventilating.
"I KNOW!!!!"she yelled again.
"No mom we can't move. I won't move. You can't make me!" I shouted angrily.
Slowly my mom shook her head saying "Well your dad got a job in Florida and it would be a nice change of senery for once. You know, good bye Philadelphia and hello Florida."
"No I don't know." I stated.
Do they really expect me to leave my whole life behind just to move to Florida? Ha they must be crazy, all the wrong screws must have fallen out for them to do this to me.
So without a second thought I quickly grabed my keys and ran out the door and hopped onto my BEAUTIFUL bike.
Like, she was definately my pride and joy, but before I could ride of into oblivion, my dad, who looked like a hobo, ran out the house waving his hands around like a lunatic.
"Where are you going? We haven't even started our discussion!" He yelled angrily
Before fully riding of I yelled "Gang meeting!"
Knowing it would fully upset him to know I was still hanging out with the gang I was told to quit three months ago. Ha right.
End of flash back
"Now guys I am holding this meeting to inform you that we have three new members" Celena stated, after that I kind of zoned out. "And thats all for now. Anyways, Bry I need to speak to you about something." Celena said which brought me out of my day dreaming. "And I you." I simply stated.
"You were there when I was talking about the newbies right?" she aked
"Yeah, I was there for the whole thing"
"Ok I want you to train the newbies. You know give them a tour of the back streets, scare them a little"
"I can do that, but when do you want me to?"
