Kylie's P.O.V.

Ugh.

What is this thing trying to wake me? I squinted and saw my brother with a radio in his hands, trying to wake me. Key word: Trying.

I threw extra pillow at him and he stumbled back, the radio crashing down on the hardwood floor of my room.

"Sis, I see you decided to wake up-"

"Nope, now leave." I cut him off.

"Ah ha! I have another radio. And don't even think about breaking it 'cause it's yours." He turned the volume up all the way.

The nerve of some people.

I stood up and pushed him out of my room, turning my stereo off. I stripped my pyjamas off and searched through my closet. I pulled up my black skinny jeans that have holes on the knees. I got out a 'Queen' t-shirt and popped my head through the top, after putting a bra on. Yeah, for some reason I love old music.I put socks on my feet with some black converse and made my way to the bathroom.

I did my business and washed my hands. After pulling out my toothbrush, I started scrubbing my teeth. Deciding against curling my hair, I rinsed out my mouth and brushed through my hair.

I sped down my steps and jumped off the last one, picking up an apple, my backpack, and skateboard.

I rode past all my neighbours houses, while munching on my apple. I saw an open trashcan and tossed it in their. I came apon my horrid school and skated up to the front gates.

After entering the school, I rolled down the hallways, teachers glaring, but not stopping me.

Get this. The staff here has a policy that states, 'We will not interfere with the things children attending our school are doing. Unless, of course, they are very serious."

Translation: We trust the prissy ass preps because we know they don't have a backbone to do something wrong.

Until me, though. If they think they can trust me, well then they were damned stupid by God. Trusting me is like trusting a fire not to burn. I will do whatever I want, when I want.

I rode straight to my locker and shoved my board in, putting some books in my bag for my next few classes.

-----

It was lunch and still no sign of my "new friends" Luke, Calum, Ashton and Michael.

I don't really know why I wanted to see them. I guess because they're really the only other kids in this school that are actually kinda like me? I don't know.

I cleared my plate and went outside, where some other tables were placed for lunch. At a table in the back, I can make out some figures in dark, tight pants I wonder who that could be?

As I go to turn back inside, chickening out, I hear someone call out my name.

I flip around to see Ashton running towards me.

"What?" I asked.

"We wanna ditch today. You in?"

"Well, I do hate school, so sure but let me get some people to get my homework." I told him.

"Oh no worries, we have people that do that for us already. Now, c'mon." We walked towards the other boys. "So Kylie."

"So Ashton."

He chuckled and said, "Dude, I just wanted to tell you that I would like to be your friend."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I just wanted to be like your second best friend seeing as Shane is already your first." He told me, looking embarrassed.

"Well, I'll have to think about... Ok, fine. I guess I can give you the privilege of being my second best friend." I laughed.

"Why thank you, Madame." We laughed as we reached the rest of the boys.

"Hey, Babe." Luke winked at me.

"Luke, are you taking to a mirror again?" I rolled my eyes.

"You know you want me." He wiggled his eyebrows, jokingly.

"To do my homework? Yeah, sure. But get me a good grade, anything lower than a C will not be tolerated." I cracked my knuckles.

"Ha ha, right." Luke laughed sarcastically, me rolling my eyes as he doubted my strength.

"Where should we go?" Mikey asked.

"Let's just start walking and see what we find." Calum suggested after a few silent seconds of thinking.

We all agreed and snuck out of the schoolyard.

-----

We've been walking for about twenty minutes and we still haven't found anything interesting to do. We were talking when a random voice came out of nowhere.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here."

"Shit," Luke cursed under his breath.

What's going on-

A guy about my age grabbed me from behind, interrupting my thoughts.

"What the hell?!" I screamed at the boy holding me back from the fight happening before me.

"Shut the fuck up,"

"Do you have any idea fucking idea of who I am?!" I hissed.

And no, I'm not using the whole 'I'm rich and important' act. I'm known through these streets for my fighting, and apparently me being a girl makes some sort of difference.

"A prissy little bi-" I cut off my captor by kneeing him between the legs.

"W-Who the hell are you?" He breathed out, struggling in pain on the ground.

"Kylie, as in Kyle Steel." All of the attackers, who were winning, stopped with wide eyes.

"Now! I'm feeling generous today! You have five seconds before I beat the living shit out of you!" I crossed my arms. "Run."

They all scrambled up and ran except for two. By this time Ashton, Michael, Luke and Calum had crawled over to the side of the alley.

"So, you're 'The Kylie Steel'?" The biggest one out of the whole pack, before most of them had scattered, raised an eyebrow.

"The one and only." I smirked.

"Hm, let's see if you really are. Let's fight, yeah?" He chuckled, thinking that I would back out.

"Leave her alone Carter!" Luke yelled.

"Luke. Sweet, little Luke. The girl wants a fight. So, that's what she's going to get." The cocky boy smirked. "Wanna five second headstart, sweetheart?"

I laughed in his face and shook my head, "Are you sure you want me to beat the hell out of both of you idiots?"

His friend jumped towards me, trying to tackle me. I sidestepped out of the way and fake yawned.

Mr. Cocky, as I have decided to call him, ran towards me. I quickly stepped out of his way, him running straight into a wall.

"Okay, ready for the real thing?" I grinned.

"You bitch!" The smaller of the two ran at me.

I jumped on him and repeatably punched his face until Mr. Cocky decided to tackle on me. I bit his arm and his hands flew up to the teeth mark, setting me free. I rolled to the side and jumped up with ease, and punched the two until they were unconscious.

I turned to Calum, Michael, Ashton and Luke, "So, you guys hungry?"
