I awoke early the next morning, before the alarm went off even. I took this opportunity to choose what I was going to wear on my first day of my better life. I dug throughout my entire closet, and settled on a pair of back skinny’s and a black misfits shirt, I didn’t do my usual make up, but instead smudged a bit on eyeliner and clear lip gloss. ‘It was going to be so much easier to get ready in the mornings from now on’ I thought to myself. I pulled on my red chucks and ran the hot iron over my hair. I practically ran down the stairs to be greeted by a very tired looking mum.
“Good morning.” I sang
“And why the fuck are you so happy this morning? Since when do you like going to school?” she grumbled
“Since I don’t have to sit with drop kick losers anymore.” I beamed
“Mmmm” was her reply
I grabbed an apple and my keys and headed out to school.
I blared the music on the way to school, to distracted me from my nerves.
What the fuck am I doing? I can’t go tot school like this! What is everybody going to say? Fuck, what is Lyn-z going to do? I thought to myself
“Who gives a fuck?” I laughed out loud

It wasn’t until I parked my car in the parking lot that my nerves got really bad. What if frank’s friends kick me out? Then will I sit? Oh fuck not again. You can do it Megan, its gunna be all-good. Just breath…

I walked into the school gates and felt sick; everyone was staring at me as I walked past. Every now and again I would hear a snickers and some ‘emo’ remark, but I just ignored it the best I could. I actually made it to my locker before Lyn-z caught up with me, yes first period is free. I was just about to shut it, but she didn’t it before I got the chance, oh well actually its called slamming but meh.
“What the fuck are you wearing?” she snarled, “Please tell me it’s a sick joke and you’ve got proper clothes to get changed into!”
I just stared at her before answering.
“Actually no I don’t.” I smiled then walked off.
“What the fuck are you trying to prove huh? You think you can get all the attention? You just ruining yourself!” she said running after me again.
“No Lyn-z you can have all the attention. I don’t want it, never had. You and the rest of the group can go to hell for all I care.” I snapped back.
“You mean after everything I’ve done, the group has done for you, and you’re just going to walk away. I made you Megan, I can just as easily break you again.” She said violently poking me in the chest.
“You touch me again, I swear to god I will break your nose, Lyn-z, it will be so fucked up not even your precious daddy will be able to pay for it to get fixed, again.” I said feel fire in my eyes. She backed off only to mutter freak as she slithered off.
“Wow, that was awesome.” I heard a familiar voice come from behind. I turned slowly to be confronted by frank Ireo and a tall skinny girl standing behind me with the biggest smiles on their faces. Frank started clapping and bowing to me. Then he ran up and hugged me tightly. “You’re my hero.” He beamed in my ear
“Thanks. It felt so good.” I laughed hugging him back. After he freed me, then skinny girl walked over and hugged me as well.
“Hi I’m soigné, frank’s girlfriend, are you coming to hang out?” she smiled a crazy smile as he and her bounded out the door holding hands. Wow they really suited each other I thought to my self. I could feel the pill I took in the car wearing off so I quickly popped another one in my mouth before following them out the door.

I didn’t even get a chance to agree or not before I was dragged back out into the play ground to a huge group of guys and girls sitting at a table under a massive tree. The funny thing was they all were dressed in similar clothes as myself. They all looked up and their faces dropped in confusion. I looked around and counted about 13 people. Wow the out-cast group grew last time I noticed them.
“Everyone, you know Megan right?” Frank said grabbing a sandwich a guy with a massive Afro was about to take a bite of. “Megan this is, Ray.” He pointed to the ‘fro guy. “My sister Chloe.” A girl with a platinum bob hairstyle with two panels of dark brown. “Keisha.” Another girl with long black and blue hair. “Quinn.” Another guy with blonde and brown hair, he had his arms around Chloe, I only guess they were together. “Jephan.” A guy with black hair and snakebites, and a lot of tattoos, he was really hot. “brayndon.” Wow he had bright green spiky hair. “Bob.” A well build guy with sandy blonde hair. “Mikey.” A guy with dooky looking glasses, the weirdest looking fringe I had ever seen, and an adorable smile. I smiled back at him. “That his girlfriend Alicia.” He pointed to a girl with long black hair much like Lyn-z’s and a nose ring. “The guy all over Keisha is Gerard.” Frank laughed. Gerard face went completely red. “Shut the fuck up you mother fucker.” He laughed back. Gerard had longish black and a feminine face, and also a cute smile. “He’s Mikey’s older brother.” I nodded. “And the douche bag having trouble lighting the cigarette is Bert.” He said pointing to the guy sitting in the back having trouble with his lighter. He looked up and smirked then went back to lighting his smoke. He had the most intense blue eyes, which was a major contrast to his black longish hair, he had his nose pierced and a couple of tattoos here and there. “And you already met soigné before.” He said referring to the girl that hugged me earlier. She smiled that crazy smile at me again and waved excitedly at me. I smiled and waved back slowly. I said hi to the all and they all smiled back
“You can sit here if you want Megan.” The guy with the sandy blonde hair said.
“Bob right?” I said sitting on the empty spot
“Yeah.” He smiled. “Um so what’s going on?” he said trying not to sound rude.
“You mean with me?” I laughed
“Um yeah.” He smiled
“Well I’ve always hated ‘my group’, I just never had anywhere I could go and be myself. But I ran into frank yesterday and he invited me to sit with you guys.” I said looking around.
“Wow that was nice of him.” Bob smirk “very out of character. Maybe he has a crush on you.” He winked. I could feel the blood rush to my face.
“Oh My God, you’re blushing. Megan Purcell, second highest in the food chain is actually embarrassed.” He laughed
“Pffft more like last on the food chain.” I laughed
“Yeah I over heard Frank telling Keisha and Gerard about your little fight with Bitch-z.” he nodded
I looked over to see that Bert was still having trouble with his lighter, and he growing more and more frustrated with every flick. I slowly walked over and sat next to him, extending my lighter flicking the flame on. He looked up and watched the flame dance for a moment before leaning forward and inhaling the flame, lighting his cigarette. He pulled back and blew out a line of smoke and looked at me.
“Thanks.” Was all he said before he got up and walked away.
I was stunned, okay that was really rude I thought to myself. Before I could think about it anymore the girl with the blonde bob came and sat down in Bert’s spot, dragging the other blonde guy with her.
“Hi.” She beamed. “I’m Chloe and this is Quinn if you have forgotten. There are a lot of us to remember.” She laughed
“Oh hi.” I smiled “you guys together I take it.” I said looking between the two of them
“Pffft no.” he laughed “she just puts out.” He continued staring at her.
“Oh fuck you Quinn you arse.” She laughed. “Yeah we’ve been together for almost a year.” She said staring lovingly back at him.
“Oh how sweet.” I smiled
“How about you? You got a boyfriend?” Quinn said tearing he eyes away from Chloe.
“Um no!” I laughed “have you seen the idiots I used to hang with?” I said looking over at my old group.
“Yeah I guess you’re right.” Chloe nodded. “Well if you’re interested in any of these losers you should know that, I’m with Quinn, soigné and frank are together, Keisha and Gerard, Mikey and Alicia are as well.” She said looking around at everyone. “But the rest are free. Actually Bob has a girlfriend in Chicago.” She corrected herself
“So I’m the only girl in the group that doesn’t have a boyfriend!” I laughed.
“Yeah but not for long. Most of these guys have had a crush on you for ages. You being miss popular.” She laughed. I made a barfing sound
“Baby, I’m going to get something to eat, before second lesson starts, you want anything?” Quinn said getting up.
“Um yeah I’ll have a red bull.” She smiled as he leant down and nuzzled her neck.
We watched him walk away and get Bert to go with him. We continued to watch them and the watched out of view. I couldn’t take my eyes off Bert; there was something about him that fascinated me.
“He isn’t taken you know. But I personally wouldn’t get involved with him.” Chloe said looking between Bert and me.
“What? Bert? Why would I want to get involved with him? He seems arrogant. And no my type.” I nodded to myself.
“Mmmmmmhhmmmm.” She winked at me, and then started laughing uncontrollably.
I started to laugh at her, I could help it she was just so infectious.
We continued to talk about random things like what bands we liked, shops the usual girl talk. Before I realised, Bert and Quinn had returned and Chloe was all over Quinn again. I looked over a Bert who was pulling his cigarette packet out again, pulling out two smokes. He looked up at me and for a moment our eyes connected. He extended a smoke towards me; I pulled out my lighter and accepted it. When I passed him the lighter, our fingers slightly touched and I felt a tingle go down my spine. He looked away and light his smoke and practically threw my lighter back to me.
“why are you so fucking rude?” I snapped as he took a draw.
“wh-what?” he coughed.
“you heard me. You fucking rude to me, why?” I said blowing out s line of smoke.
“Cause you’ve been a bitch to me our whole life.” He smirked. “Its only fair I’m aloud to be mean back, I don’t care that you’ve changed now.” He said getting up and walking away again.
I mean what the fuck? What did I ever do to him personally? Absolutely nothing, I only met him today. What did he mean by ‘our whole life’? Well like I said I only met him today. What a fuck! I could feel myself spacing out and I hoped no one noticed how fucked up I was, I mean I wasn’t addicted to the or anything, I just really needed them to get through a day sometimes, actually almost all the time.
“Are you okay Megan?” I heard someone ask. I looked over to see the girl with black and blue hair, Keisha I think, and Gerard looking over at me.
“Yeah I’m fine. I was just thinking about something.” I smiled
“You sure? You were really spacing out there.” Gerard said looking into my eyes. I looked away so he couldn’t see how blood shot they were.
“Yeah I’m sure.” I smiled again. “But thanks for caring.” I said before walking back over to Chloe and Quinn. She looked up and smiled when I sat down.
“So you’re Frankie’s sister?” I smiled back.
“Unfortunately.” She laughed.
“But how does that work? I have you both I’m my classes.” I said looking over at him
“Well he was born at the beginning of the year and I was born right at the end.” She giggled and Quinn kissed her cheek.
“Oh okay. It must be good having your brother around.” I sighed thinking about Scott and how much I missed him.
“Um I heard about what happened to Scott, it was such a sad day. He was a good friend of ours; sometimes he would just sit and talk to us like we were the most important people in the world. No one else has every done that for us.” She said getting a little teary.
“Really? I never knew that.” I smiled
“You and him were really close hey.” Quinn finally spoke
“Um yeah, how did you know?” I said looking at him weirdly
“Because he used to talk about you all the time, how proud he was of you and we used to wonder why because all we ever saw was the bitchy popular girl. But he used to tell us about the other side of you, the real you and we understood.” Chloe answered “and we’ve been waiting for you ever since.” She smiled
“Really? He said all that?” I asked with a confused face, I’m noting special. I mean look, I’ve been in school with everyone for what, 12 years, and I only build up the courage to stand up in the last year. It’s pathetic. Bert was right. Even though I’ve changed now, it does make up for the other 1 years of me being a bitch to everyone. I really respect you guys. You’re not afraid to be yourselves even though it gets you out-casted.” I said lowering my head. “that’s so much more than I have.”
“That’s not true. Look at you now. I mean yeah it took a while, but you stuck it to Lyn-z qwell this morning. That more than we’ve ever done. She walks all over us and we let her. It’s easier that way.” She nodded trying to reassure me. “Although it may take some of us a little longer to except you, it will happen.” She said looking over at Bert.
“CHLOE.” I hear frank yell over everyone.
“WHAT?” she yelled back. Goddamn they have massive voices
“MUM CANT PICK US UP THIS AFTERNOON! WE’RE GUNNA HAVE TO WALK IT.” He said putting a pretend gun to his head. I giggled.
“WHAT? OH FUCK THAT!” she yelled back
“Don’t you guys have cars?” I asked looking around at everybody.
“Pffft are you serious? As if.” She laughed
“well do you want a life? I have room for four people. Quinn can come to.” I shrugged
“really? That would be awesome.” Chloe beamed
“nah my dad works here.” He said almost embarrassed
“Oh okay cool.” I smiled
“Well I have two more spots for anyone else who wants it.” I said to everyone.
“Oh ME!” I hear soigné yell.
“Okay one more.” I said looking around
“Bert, you walk home don’t you?” Chloe smiled
“Yeah, what ever.” He said picking up his backpack as the bell rang.
“What do you have now?” Chloe asked packing up her bag.
“Um, English I think.” I said pulling out my schedule
“Oh my god, me too! Yay, usually its only Bert, soigné and I up the back. But you can totally join us.” She squealed
“Okay mad, I’ll just go get my shit from my locker I’ll meet you there.” I smiled; I love school right now.
