Lauren Brooks, who looks as average as one can look, is not average. By not average, I mean way not average.
Like every gang town, there are four main gangs: East, West, South, and North. Like every gang town, each of the gangs leaders are egotistical males.
Each of the four leaders are under 25, due to their parents wanting to get out of the gang life. All four of the leaders were left to lead their gang alone at different times, and every single one of them has made mistakes. This just might be their biggest mistake yet.
Gale High School, where everything seems pretty normal. Except when you see how many gang members that go there. It is neutral ground for the gangs of Gale city, where there is no bloodshed under any circumstance.
The only catch is that Lauren has just moved here. She knows nobody here, except her grandpa that lives here. She does not know about the gangs, and really just wants her parents to get back from their trip to Africa. But that won't happen until next year, so she is stuck with a new city and new people.
But she will have a good time.
