The Gang Leader

Chapter 5:

" Ok.explain,"i command.

"It really is like a family,"she says,"you feel like you belong in this big world."

" What about drugs,booze and stuff like that,?"i question."its not bad.Just stay away from it.its actually fun here.you make friends and they become really close." I nod.she says it's fun but her fun and my fun have changed."Ariel, can you stand outside so Carla and I can talk?,"i ask.she just nods and leaves.

I turn to Carla."what do you think?you've been pretty quiet during all of this,"i say."i think we should give it a try ." I stare at her eyes wide."Are you insane!they do drugs and drink!,"i say.

"Hey,just like Ariel said we don't have to do that stuff.come on let's give it a try.pulse it's just for a summer,"begs Carla."fine," I huff out.

I open the door to see Ariel standing there."we're going to join ,"i tell her. Ariel smiles,"come on let's go tell Sandro." we follow her back to his office.
She once again knocks on the door and we enter.

"They are going to join,"announces Ariel smiling."Great.lets go tell everyone." We walk to the big room until all four of us walk on to a platform.Sandro center stage and the rest of us to the side.

"Everyone! everyone! I have something to say!" he says over the music.someone turns off the music and everyone turns to face Sandro.

" We have two new members,"he motions to Carla and I to come forward,"show them some love!,"he yells.

People shout and clap to welcome us.we all stand off the stage as everything goes back to normal.
"Girls we need to go shopping ," says Ariel. we both look down at our jeans and blouses.i look around and see everyone with at least one thing on them that's black.

"Ok.You in Carla?," I ask
"Yeah."
We walk out of the house and back onto the dirt road.we walk past all the board up places to a more crowd area.

"This is the market area and farther down are the clothes stores," explains Ariel. We both trail behind Ariel once again until we reach a big store with black clothing in the front windows.

We go in the store and the bells chime over us as we enter.i see the store is empty and the cashier behind the counter."Bianca,you got more curves than I do and Carla ," states Ariel.Even though I'm 13 I have a lot of curves.
(A/N she went to school 1 yr late)

We walk to the back of the store where the girl clothes are located.every where you look you see red,blue,green,yellow,white,and black.

*********

Half an hour later Carla and I both have new wardrobes consisting of all the colors and styles we could get.

"Now girls that was a shopping spree,"comments Ariel.

"Yeah.but what will we tell my parents about the new clothes?," I ask.

"They won't ask you.my mom didn't," says Ariel.

"But.. my parents are different from your mom,"i say back.

"Don't worry.it'll be fine,"Ariel brushes my worrying aside.
