A/n: okay guys this is my second fanfic…ever um I don't own anything but this fanfic story…blah blah blah on with the story!

The name's Ehpay. But that's just a nickname. I'd tell you my real name…but that wouldn't be any fun now would it? I'm a sophomore that attends high school in the west coast. You don't need to know where. Well I used to anyways. I was recruited to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Reason? I have a knack for going places without being seen unless I wanted too. That, and I'm the best student in my school. You know how you take those CSTs and there's a ranking thing for it, the highest being advanced? Well, I got "advanced". I suppose you're thinking so what? It's just a stupid test score/ranking. Well here's the catch. That ranking was based off senior college tests. I was even asked to skip a few grades when I was in 6th grade. But there is no way I'm leaving my friends behind. That and I'll be the youngest in my grade if I do. No thank you.

Yeah. I never wanted to be a smart-ass, but my family is and I can't let them down. If I do, they'll make me wear shitty, girly girl clothes. I hate girly girl clothes. Um, let me start from the beginning.

during freshman year

It was a month til school ended and I was going to be a sophomore next year. It was the last class of the day and I had my free period. Okay I was in algebra II but I was done with all my work for the whole day. Super genius, remember? So I had an hour to goof off. My best friends came over to my table for "help". When I help them, I give them answers but I make sure they get a few wrong and I make sure they actually learn something.

"I got in McKinley High!" Priscilla quietly shouted when we were done.

"Cousin (We call her cousin because I can) that's great!" Michelle said.

"What Michie (that's my nickname for Michelle) said." I smiled at her. But then I realized something. "Wait, doesn't that mean you're moving to Ohio?"

"Unfortunately…" cousin looked down.

"Guys this might be a bad time to say this but since we're already upset…I'm going back to Florida." Michie announced.

"are you guys serious? Ugh! That means in going to get left behind and go through 10th grade with out you guys." I sunk into my chair. And pulled my hood over my head so that it covers half my face.

"Ehpay, we're sorry." They both tried to calm me down and let me think. I could feel them starring at me, along with the rest of the class.

"You know what, don't be, it's okay I'm happy for you guys." I took off my hood and easily forced a smile. Then I switched to my uncomfortable stare and looked at everyone. Then they looked away.

The bell rung and we had to leave each other.

I had a month of school left. And three weeks into summer vacation. They were both going to leave. We were determined to make the most out of it. Me and Michie live near each other, but she had to go somewhere so I walked home alone. She offered to drop me off but I wanted to walk.

When I got home, I dropped my bag on the couch and yelled, "I'm home!"

"Can you get the mail hun?" my aunt called. Oh yeah…did I mention I live with me aunt? Well you see, my parents have been hard to deal with, so I announced that I was going to live with my aunt till I can "calm down." No one protested so I took that as an "okay"

when I got the mail. I noticed there was a letter for me from some fancy boarding school…ew. I ignored it and stuffed it back in the middle of the pile of mail in my hands.

"I got the mail!" my aunt and cousin (the real one) came down to go through it.

"Bill…bill…bill…coupons…bill…oh here Soul, it's a package from your 'friend'" my aunt said. Oh did I mention that my aunt acts like a teen sometimes? So its cool living with her…hmm…now that I think about it…I haven't mentioned a lot of things…oh well…I'll explain as I talk.

"Shut up, mom," Soul complained. (Her full name is Solaphnie. Soul-ahf-knee)

"Oh, Ehpay, you got a letter from some place called…called…Gah…Gal…from an academy for young women…did you vandalize that place?" okay…I'm known for vandalizing a lot of stuff…I'm what you call a trouble maker…but gets away with everything…and I mean everything. I know how to cover my tracks.

"What?" I walked over to her and looked at the address. Did I actually get caught…but I couldn't have…especially since I don't do that to academies…they have too tight of a security system to hack… The address said Roseville, Virginia.

"Evangeline, this place is in Virginia." One thing that I love about my aunt is that she lets me call her by her first name since I'm adopted (…oh yeah…I forgot to mention…I'm adopted…so that means I'm not really related to them.) Well…she actually lets every one but Soul call her that.

"Oh…well…then lets open it." My aunt handed me the letter. I read it out loud.

Dear Ehpay, (wow they used the nickname)

I would like to inform you that you have been selected to attend the Gallagher Academy and will be given a full scholarship. If you accept, give us a call and we'll personally make your flight arrangements. You won't have to pay a thing.

But unfortunately, you family cannot stay with you. You will be in one of our dorms, so there is no place for them to stay. Unfortunately, the only time you'll see them is during winter break and summer vacation. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. But you family can come with you on your first day.

We hope you can attend.

Sincerely,

Rachel Cameron Morgan

Headmistress of Gallagher Academy

I stood in shock. I was accepted to go to a boarding school? This has got to be some prank. I'm a troublemaker for crying out loud! I sneak around and don't get caught! I think about toilet paper-ing those kinds of places. Besides that place looks like its for preppy snobby rich princess chicks! And I am not one of those. Have you seen what I wear? I dress like an emo or goth or punk! Whatever you want to call it! I wear dark distressed skinny jeans, black high top Vans, a dark jacket or leather (depending on my mood), and a dark shirt with ripped up sleeves almost everyday. Even my swim suits look goth or emo…even if it is a bikini. People even call me the dark evil witch princess…but that's just to scare the newbs. I even have eight voodoo dolls…but none of them work…lucky them…the point is that I'm not a p.s.r.p chick!

"Wow cousin. They must want you in their school if they're sending you a letter from the other side of the country…" Soul stated, breaking me out of my shock.

"Yeah you should go…give those rich girls a scare and turn the school upside down." My Uncle Jordan said from the top of the stairs.

"Jordan! If you're going to be in this convo, then get down here and don't scare the hell out of me," I yelled. He usually comes home at night…not in the afternoon. (I love my aunt and uncle)

"Call them Ehpay. Just see what it's like, who knows maybe you'll like it." I stared at her in disbelief.

"Soul? You want me to leave?"

"No. I just want the best for you. You've gone through a lot…and I want you to be happy. Who knows? Maybe you'll be extremely happy there. Well…happier than you are here at least." I looked at her with a blank expression.

"Well," she continued, "look at it this way. Michie and Cousin are moving right? Well, you'll be closer to them if you go to Roseville…well…you'll be closer to Cousin…but you and cousin could always get a plane ride to see Michie. Or vice versa" She did have a point. "And I'm all for dad's idea."

"Alright, alright. I'll call them. But first let me do my homework. Which should only take me an hour and a half."

My aunt, uncle, and cousin smiled at me. And for the first time in months, I actually felt good about myself.

A/n: so should I continue this story? Could I have at least 5 reviews for the chapter?

Ehpay: hey guys, should I go to this Gallagher Place?

Ehpay: no need for air quotes. I just want to hear their opinion. And you stole my name!

Ehpay: I'm not a prep, why did you do this to me?

its_ehpay_kid: cause its fun torturing you

Ehpay: whatever. Hey readers! review! I need your opinions! If you don't I'll use my voodoo doll on you
