The year is 2019 and the world is reminded, yet again, that the United States has a problem with gun violence as students at Gutenberg County High School send panicked goodbye texts to their family members and friends. As terrified 14-18 year olds huddle in the corners of their classrooms, blinds drawn shut over the windows, textbooks full of learning materials at the ready for self-defense. As teachers try to quietly barricade the doors with desks and chairs before pulling the baseball bat that they had preemptively stored in their supply closets where they're supposed to keep crayons, glue sticks, construction paper, calculators, dry-erase markers, and... so much more. Anything but weapons to use against an armed assailant. Just another day in an American High School. The new norm.

It's a Mixed Thing (Original)

33 parts Complete Mature

Have you ever shot someone? Have you ever been beaten so bad that you're close to experiencing death? Have you ever joined a gang and there's no way of getting out? I'm Yesenia but most people call me Yesi. I have experienced two out of three of those things. Yesenia & Lasiaira. Two sisters from Inglewood, California. Both grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and found themselves took in by a gang. The Hood is their life. When one night spirals out of control and they wander from half of their crew. Yesenia & Lasiaira end up in a detention center for two years. Their parents refuse to take them back until they have changed their ways and stay out of trouble. The sisters are sent to live with a close friend of their parents. Elle Lopez. She takes care of five boys and a girl. It's a home for delinquent teenagers to change themselves for the better. Will Yesenia & Lasiaira adjust to their new home or will they runaway to be on the streets again and be with their gang? COPYRIGHTS of Skittlesbitch- 2014
