Kian is going to kill me. Like Matt had requested I am meeting him at the bridge that goes over the tracks separating the turfs. The bridge was a sort of peace treaty area. When two gangs needed a peace treaty they came to the bridge to establish it. No gang could harm the other while they were on the bridge, that was the rule; so I knew matt and i would be okay to talk.

As I approach the bridge I see a shaggy brown haired kid around my age staring at the tracks. He is wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. A black bandana is tied around his upper arm, signalling he is from JCs gang. my brothers gang wears blue bandanas.

As I approach the boy turns his head and I gasp realizing its Cameron, the kid who tried to shoot me.

"You again." He scoffs.

"You arnt going to shoot me are you?" I tease. He shakes his head and goes back to staring at the tracks.

"Why are you here?" He asks not glancing at me.

"I'm here to talk to Matt." I say glancing at him to see him wince as I say Matt's name.

"JC is going to kill him..." Cameron shakes his head.

"What is JCs obsession with me anyway?" I ask. Cameron starts laughing. I look at him annoyed.

"What is so funny!?

"He's not obsessed. He either wants to get to Kian or he likes you. Either way he's stupid." He shakes his head again. So there's a possibility that he likes me or wants my brother to think he does, so my brothers makes a wreck less move possibly starting a gang war.

"Don't think too hard about it. Even if he did like you there is no way you two could date." He continues to stare at the tracks below.

"Who couldn't date?" We hear. I turn to see Matt standing there in jeans, a blue hoodie and a black bandana around his hair.

"You came!" I cry out hugging him.

"Course I came!" He says hugging me back.

"Oh are you two dating?" Cameron asks, a hint of jealousy to his voice.

"What?" Matt asks blushing.

"Is this some kind of secret meeting so neither one of your leaders will find out about your secret romance?" Cameron asks.

"What the hell? No!" I shove Matt away from me disgusted. I mean Matt is attractive, but no I only have eyes for Chris...and maybe JC.

"We aren't dating." Matt says hurt lacing his words. I didn't mean to hurt him by shoving him away, I just don't want Cameron to think there is something going on when there isn't.

"Ah, so why are you two meeting each other then?" Cameron's eyebrow raises curiously. Damn, this kid is nosy.

"Remember when you tried to shoot me last night?" I ask. Cameron nods. "Well Matt saved me."

"You damn traitor!" Cameron's fists clench.

"I can't let you harm Kenzie, Cam!" Matt crosses his arms and stands up straighter, making him taller than Cameron.

"Why? Don't tell me you have a crush on her too!" Cameron scoffs.

"No, me and her brother used to be friends and I swore I would never let something happen to her." Matt explains Well that explains a lot.

"You are in my gang now." I turn my head to see JC with a guy I don't recognize. "You no longer follow rules from Kian."

"Busted." Cameron mumbles.

"A promise is a promise JC." Matt argues.

"I realize that, but you swore your allegiance to my side, and turned over your black bandana." JC crosses his arms.

"Maybe that was a mistake." Matt says. My eyes go wide. I've never seen someone openly defile their leader before. Matt has guts, I like that.

"Are you willing to die for this girl." JC says 'girl' with such disgust that I think he hates me.

"Yes, and obviously so are you! You snuck into kians party and his bonfire to talk to her!" Matt says. This kid is asking to get punched, but JC keeps his cool.

"I only wanted to piss off Kian." JC smirks. Is he for real?

"Well it worked." I turn my head to see Kian standing on our turfs side of the bridge with Crawford, Chris and Connor. My eyes widen when I see that both Chris and Crawford have blue bandanas on their heads. They joined my brothers gang.

"You both joined Kians gang?!" I choke out. Crawford promised he would never do something like this.

"Kians my best friend, why wouldn't I?" Chris narrows his eyes.

"True..what is your excuse so called best friend of mine." I cross my arms at Crawford.

"I said I would do whatever it takes to protect you...even if it means this..." He says. I shake my head in disbelief.

"You know for someone who isn't your boyfriend, he's going g to an extreme measure to protect you." JC says looking amused.

"I noticed." I clench my teeth together.

"Kenzie what are you doing with them?" Connor asks.

"She was talking to me." Matt says before I can say anything.

"I told you to stay away from her!" Kian says.

"And I told you I that I swore to protect her!" Matt shoots back.

"Damn everyone is fighting over you...what did you do to get so many guys Kenzie?" Cameron asks smirking. Did he just call me a whore!?

"Excuse you?" I turn to Cameron. "What is your problem?"

"Nothing just wondering why so many guys are fighting over a tramp like you." He smirks. Before I can punch him, I am grabbed and thrown over someone's shoulder.

"We are going home." I realize its Kian.

"Put me down!" I cry out banging my fists on his back. But he doesn't put me down....and that's what scares me the most.
