Being Badass

Chapter 2

"Are you guys in a gang" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

They all stare at me in shock stuttering. I giggle, "I see that you are. Which one" I ask eagerly.

They look around at each other. Then Sam slowly says "The Golden Rouges". My eyes widen and I lean in and whisper "You know their Cristal Lake branch?" They all nod their heads. "I was first in command of that branch." They all smile, and we high-five.

"Alright little girls, line up!" The gym teacher yells.

We start doing warm-ups when Lacey and her crew start walking over to us.

"Eww. Why do you have a tattoo!" She asks me, and I cant help but smirk. The tattoo on my right shoulder is showing.



"Actually, I have 5 tattoos." She scoffs.

"That's gross." She says with a flip of her hair she begins to walk away.

"Lacey" I shout and she turns around to face me, "Its better than all that plastic surgery."

She gasps, along with the girls and several other people. And I roll my eyes.

In the locker room after gym Mikey, Fallon, and Sam kept asking about my tattoos.

"C'mon! Just show us!" Sam begged.

"Alright fine" I say with a slight chuckle, "but most of them I can't show you here. You could come over and I could show you."

"Yes!" Fallon shouted and jumped up and down. "The boys could come too! They get done working soon!"

I laugh and we all head out by the bikes.

We all get on our bike and I'm about to turn mine on when I hear someone call my name. I turn to the girls and they all shrug. I look the other way and see Xavier and his friends in Eathan's jeep. Allan waves me over.

When i get to their car Eathan asks me about my tattoos.

"Where are your other tattoos. You said you had 5."

I shake my head about to walk away when someone grabs me. I whip around ready to throw a punch.

Isaiah let's go of my shoulder.

"Cmon. If you don't want to show us, just tell us."

I sigh and give in. "You've seen the one on my shoulder. I have one on my wrist that's matching with my family" I say, holding up my wrist so they can see.



"Oooh. Sorry to interrupt, but who has what in your family." Allan asks.

"My mom has a heart, my dad has a diamond, and my older brother has a joker."

"Who has the club?" Xavier asked me, in his smooth deep voice. It's the only time hes said anything this whole time.

I take a deep breath, trying to hold it in and continue. "I have one on my right hip bone, one on the inside of my right arm, and one on my left rib." I quickly finish and walk away, not turning back.

I get to the girls, and they have questioning looks on their faces.

"They wanted to know about my tattoos. Now let's go to my place. Follow me."

"What about you're parents?" Mikey questioned.

"Uhhh. They're out of town for a few months." I lie.
