Kylie typically keeps to herself, all until one person comes and changes her whole life for the better... They like to call themselves the punk rock rejects... ***no this story does not take place in 1996. I just thought a year would be a great name for the book (and it just happens to be the year when luke was born). so don't be confused when the characters begin to use cellphones and laptops. this takes place in the current year with the current technology***
