Macy's Pov-

I walked down the halls of my high school, reminiscing all of the good memories that I have made with my friends over the past few months that I have been here. Arda, Leo and I, the only clean ones in the massive flurry of neon paint-colored students, smirk smugly and high five each other, congratulating each other on another prank pulled off. I was thinking back to our first prank at the school; we were going to-

My drifting thoughts were cut off by the loud screech of the principle, "GARNER, MY OFFICE NOW." She furiously stomps away, heels clicking on the hard tile floors.

I smirk and shove my hands in my pockets as I branch away from my friends, leaving them with a small wave. I doubt that I'll be staying in this school longer than an hour. I smugly walk into the office and don't bother knocking before just walking in. She knows that I'm coming anyway. I sit down and make myself comfortable in the chair across from her desk. I look at her expectantly.

"Macy, I'm not even going to bother with the lecture you this time. It's not like you would listen," she mumbles the last part before looking back up at me, "You're expelled. You have thirty minutes before I expect you gone."

"Farewell, Davis," I say, referring to her by her last name only, as I stand up and walk out of her office for the last time. I yank open the door open to the receptionist's office and my brother, Axel, and my friends stumble slightly before regaining their balance, no doubt trying to listen to what was happening.

"What'd she say? Are you getting expelled again," Arda asks, her big eyes impossibly getting even bigger with curiosity.

I make my way towards my locker as I reply, "Oh, I'm expelled for sure"

I mean, it's not that big of a deal.

My brother sighs ad throws his arm around my shoulder, " Why am I not surprised? You should be scared of what mom is going to do," he shudders, "Good luck with that." I may be some gang leader, but it was passed down through my mom. She is like a teddy bear just less teddy and more bear. Cute and fuzzy, but will attack when she needs to.

"Trust me, I am," I mumble as I grab all of my things and shove them into my backpack. I hop on my motorcycle. "I'll see you at home. By guys," I say to my brother then my friends. I speed home and parked in the driveway. I take my helmet off and run a hand, loosening up my long teal locks. I grab my lanyard, with my house key on it, out of my pocket and unlock the front door. I don't bother being quiet as I know that my mom will hear me anyway.

"Macy Marie Garner get your ass in the kitchen," I hear my mom yell.


Well, she's not too happy.

I walk into the kitchen. "Hey, Mom, what's up," I say, dragging out the 'hey' as I nervously rock back and forward on my feet.

"What's up? Seriously? You just got yourself expelled again, Macy, again. How do you eve get expelled that many times? No school in New York accepts you anymore!"

"Well, it's not my fault that people suck," I say with a shrug.

"Wow, Macy, real mature. If you really want to play it that way, you'll have a great time in California."

"California? You're literally sending me all the way to fucking California," I ask her incredulously.

"Yes, I am. You have no choice, Macy. You have to finish your high school education. You leave me no choice. Now go pack, your flight is tomorrow. I got you a gang house, and I'm moving most of the members in there so you will still have your friends and brother. Ellie is going to stay with me, you'll be too busy," she says in a stern voice, leaving no room for argument. I glare at her before turning and walking upstairs. "That glare may strike fear into others, but don't forget that I' the one who gave it to you," I hear her call out as I am about halfway up the stairs.

I get to my room and slam the door closed, almost breaking it...again. I pack most of my things in a suitcase and leave the rest for when I come to visit so I don't have to pack as much. I close my suitcase and push it into the corner of my room. I get changed out of my jeans and t-shirt and into a pair of sweatpants and a black crop top before hopping into bed and falling asleep, not ready for the adventure ahead of me.

I yawn once more as I step foot out into sunny California. I barely got any sleep last night and sleeping on the plane was impossible with all of the crying babies and such. Carrying my suitcase behind me, I patiently wait for my driver to pick me up.

When he gets here, I hop in after putting my luggage into the trunk. After an hour or so, we finally reach the house and I hop out. I grab my stuff as my ride drives off. I walk to the front door and unlock it with the ket that mom gave me. As I swing the door open I look at the huge layout in front of me as a smirk spreads across my face as my eyes glow with mischief. What to do now?
