BOOK #1 in The Fire series TRIGGER WARNING IN SOME CHAPTERS He leans closer, keeping me pinned against the wall with his hands on either side of my head. I glanced at both of them before holding his glare with my own. He was giving me a cold stare, caging me in like an animal. I bit my lip, trying to hold it back. I was never good in situations like these. He stopped leaning forward when his face was just inches from mine. He was trying to make me uncomfortable. Trying to scare me, but he didn't. I wasn't scared of him. I didn't hide my face or get nervous... I just bit my lip harder, trying to hold it in. It would just make things worse for me, I bet. He kept his eyes on mine as I glanced at his friend behind him with his arms crossed and a bored expression on his face. I looked back at the man in front of me. "You shouldn't act that way around me." He says coldly. "I can have you dead right-" I couldn't hold it in. I started laughing. He leans back, shocked, but his face goes into a glare as soon as his friend behind him perks up, watching, interested now. I calm down a little. "I'm sorry." I say, catching my breath. "Continue, Continue." He watched me closely before leaning closer to me again. "I can have you killed-" Suddenly, I lost it again, laughing harder, bending a little to hold my stomach. He punched the wall in an effort to scare me but instead made me laugh even harder, falling to the ground and rolling on my side. Soon I had his friend laughing with me as the man in front of me glared at both of us. "Don't give me that look. She's the one who started laughing." His friend said, wheezing a little bit and trying to stop laughing. I calmed down a bit, standing up to face them, a smile on my face. "Now, if you're done threatening me," I raise an eyebrow. "Or at least trying to. I'll be on my way." With that, I grabbed my backpack, turned my back to them, and walked away.

Street fighting is something Layla Fischer has been doing half of her life time to pay bills and provide for herself. Let's not forget she is also undefeated in street fighting but that's not important. Now it's her senior year and she attempting to continue to have a clean record so she can get out of the life she is living. Of course there is a new boy who joins her school and has all the girls swooning especially over the fact that he is rich and is the leader of a gang. Mason Peters is the obvious cliché bad boy every girl falls for. Layla and Mason right away dislike each other and when she finds out she has a fight against one of the gang members from Masons gang she is already a little suspicious. Though Layla meets another boy from Mason's gang Bo Flaim. Strangely enough she takes a liking to him but she would never want to admit it. Bo is one of Masons closest friends so Layla and Mason are pretty much forced to interact with each other once in awhile. There will be lots of fist fights and just other casual yelling at each other fights but not even Layla is ready for this rollercoaster of a year that she though she had all planned out. ~~~ Highest Rankings- #1 mentalhealth #1 badgirl #2 fight #3 in gangs #7 in gangleader
