chapter one

the sound of chattering fills Ali's ears as the pretty little rich girls walk by. rude remarks are made against her as she stood against the wall smoking, she simply smirks and flicks the cigarette butt at them before walking in the opposite direction of the school.

"schools the other way Alexis" a girl passing her mocks. she rolls her eyes at the use of her full name and continues walking. she takes her headphones that are loosely hanging down the front of her one shoulder sweater and places them in her ears, blocking out the controversial world around her. the sweet sound of 'Sweater Weather' by The Neighbourhood plays through her ears. she trails her hand along the black gates, feeling the cold sensation on her fingertips.

clenching the ends of her sleeves, Ali sits down next to a tree, resting her head against the firm trunk. she faintly notices the looks people give her, recognizing them as people from her school, one of the boys winking at her. one of the things Ali had learnt from being at this new school;

good guys like the bad girls.

she can play them at their own game, only she plays it better. these guys think they can be bad, but their not, deep down there may be some potential. but the fact that they're stuck up and wouldn't go anywhere near drugs or alcohol says it all.

"Ali, wake the fuck up." she opens her eyes to see one of her stupid brothers friends standing above her. her eyes automatically roll at the boy, as she stands up adjusting her backpack on one shoulder. ignoring him, she takes out her phone and restarts her music.

"you know, Ty is going to kill you when he finds out." she just smirks at the thought of her brother lecturing her, it's almost impossible that he will find out anyway. she gives him a small wave before watching the curly haired boy cross the street and gather with a small group of guys. one in particular catches her attention, his lips pursed as he scans up and down her body, smirking as he blows out the rest of the smoke from his cigarette. Ali bites her lip, before turning and walking through the dark alleyway that leads to her house.

Send To: Lea

meet me at 9, we're going out.

she doesn't even need to ask Lea, because she knows she'll come anyway. Lea loves the thrill just as much as Ali, although she hides it better. she doesn't want to get caught, whereas it'd just be a regular occurrence for Ali.

but her parents always failed to find out, as long as her brother Ty was around.
