:Jacey:

It wasn't MY fault, it sorta just happened. I was just walking in Big Momma's when he caught me. Really I wasn't even supposed to be there! I was just picking something up, that's it. I needed to get the keys to my house, and Butchy had my key because he broke his! I just tripped and BOOM there he was. But that's too far ahead. I need to go back all the way to this morning for you to understand.

This morning:

"Butchy, I'm going out!" I said as I walk down the stairs.

"To where?" I hear him yell from the bathroom.

"I need to go to Chelsea's house for a paper!" Huh lying is so easy. I walk to the kitchen to grab an apple and I see Lela sitting on the counter. She's reading a book about engines. Go figure.

"Morning, sis." I walk up and him her a kiss on the cheek. Lela smiles and closes the book.

"Hey, morning bro." Oh yeah, for those of you who don't know, Lela and Butchy are my siblings. Well half siblings. She looks me over. "Jacey, your hair's messy." She goes over to a drawer and opens it. Lela takes out the brush and puts me in the seat next to her.

"Why is your hair so always get like this?" She complains.

"Why do you always have to comb it?" I grumble. Lela comb my black hair gently before tugging really hard.

"Ow!"

"Sorry! It's the only way to keep it neat!" What feels like an eternity of brushing, is over. Lela looks at me satisfied and puts the brush away. "Ha! Done!"

My head feels like its about to explode. It hurts but I don't say anything. "Where are you headed to?"

"To Chelsea's house to get a paper."

She gives me a look. "Liar."

"I-"

"Nope. You'll only dig yourself deeper."

"Pleeeaaaase! I didn't lie about going to Chelsea's house!" Chelsea is Chee Chee's sister. We've been friends since birth.

"What are you gonna do at Chelsea's house?"

"Well, we were going to go to Wrench's house afterwards..." I say looking down at my lap. Wrench is Lugnuts little brother. She seems to consider the thought.

"Fine."

I squeal but I then put my hands over my mouth. I did NOT just squeal. Lela bursts out laughing but when she looks at my face she stops.

"What's so funny?" I hear Butchy say he comes in wearing his regular biker stuff.

"Nothing." I say. He gives me a suspicious look but let's it go. He walks over to the counter to make a cup of coffee. He makes a big yawn. I get up from my seat before Butchy finds out where I'm headed and starts to interrogate me. "Welp I'm off. See ya guys."

When I'm about to open to open the door they stop me. "Jacey." They both say.

"Do I have to?" I complain.

"Yep." Lela says smiling.

I go up to her. Lela tilts her head so her cheek is facing me, and I kiss her on the cheek. Butchy has his back on the counter, drinking his coffee, waiting expectantly. I smile and I walk over to him. I plant my lips on his cheek, and he smirks.

I walk out the door and I hear Lela say, "We love you!"

"Love you too!" I say while the door closes. Why are they being so lovey dovey? Even though I kiss their cheeks every morning this time it feels different. I walk over to my bike parked out front. I may or may not be old enough to drive this thing. Well, technically I am because I turned 15 a couple of weeks ago. But I'm been driving bikes for 2 years now and this thing was a gift from Butchy.

I put the keys in the engine and drive all the way Chelsea's house. I drive drive pass Big Momma's and I can see the surfers. Ugh. They can never stop showing off. Even though they have nothing to show. All they do is ride waves that go like what? 2 miles per hour. Lame. They're singing that stupid song again.

I see their leader, Tanner. I also see two other people who I've never seen before. One's blonde who seems like he's having the time of his life. And the other is this brunette girl who seems confused. While Tanner's singing we lock eyes with each other. We don't look away for what feels like forever, but in reality it was like 4 seconds.

I had to look back at the road, I don't look back at him but I somehow know he's still staring at me.

I arrive at Chelsea's house. I park my bike out front, and knock on the door. No one answers. I knock again hard. "I'm coming, I'm coming!" I can hear Chee Chee yell.

She opens the door, she's still wearing her pajamas. Chee Chee looks at me. "Jacey? Do you know what time it is?" I look at my watch.

"Chee, its 10:15."

She looks at me shocked then says, "Shoot! I'm late!" Chee Chee bolts upstairs. I let myself in and close the door behind me. I walk up the stairs and to Chelsea's room. I knock and I get snoring as a reply. Like sister, like sister. I open her door to find Chelsea sprawled out on her bed. I chuckle then walk up to her bed.

I nudge her awake. Nope. I push her hard. Nope. I push her off her bed. Yep.

"Ugh." I hear her say. "What the-"

"Good morning!" I say over cheerly. I go to her blinds and open them. She hisses at me.

"I'm melting!" She jokes.

Chelsea gets up from the floor. "What time is it?"

"Last I checked it was 10:15."

"Shoot! I'm late!" Chelsea runs to her bathroom to get changed. I laugh, they are really alike.

"I'll be down stairs."

"OK." She's says through the door.

I go downstairs and raid her fridge. I pull out another apple and eat it. I hear Chee Chee go out the front door in a hurry. I go sit in the living room and turn on the TV. I know right? TV. We could never afford one at my house. But Chelsea's parents are electricians, so.

I turn on a random channel and wait for Chelsea to come down. She comes down looking bikerific.

"Ready."

"About time." I say while getting up.

"Oh come on! I beat my record from last time." Chelsea's hair is in a mini beehive like the one her sister has. "So what are we doing today?"

"Let's go get Wrench first."

"OK." I walk out front while Chelsea gets her bike from the garage. We could walk to Wrench's house it's just down the street. Buts its more badass to show up on bikes. We ride next to each other while riding. We talk over the engines about random stuff until we reach his house.

We reach his house and see Wrench talking to Steff. Steff is Strut's little sister. She's a year younger than me. She has long brunette hair. She keeps it in a braid, and the braid goes all the way down to her butt. Wrench has dark brown curly hair that only reaches his ears.

They both look up from what they're doing and smile at us. Since Steff is the youngest she doesn't have a bike. She usually just rides with Wrench.

"Hey guys." Steff greets.

"Good morning!" Chelsea says optimistically.

"Morning." Wrench says.

"I'm starving!" Chelsea complains.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Steff asks.

"I would have if someone would not have rushed me!"

"You were the one who woke up at like 10:00!" I retorted. She sticks her tongue out at me but doesn't say anything else. Just then Wrench's stomach rumbled. Everyone laughed.

"See I'm not the only one!" Chelsea screams.

"I did kinda skipped breakfast top Jacey." Wrench calmy exclaims.

"How about we go to Big Momma's." Steff suggests.

"I want a burger." Chelsea agrees.

"A burger for breakfast?" Wrench asks.

"Let her suffer from the fat. Let's go!" I commented. Wrench got on his bike and Steff sat behind him. We all rode down to Big Momma's. We drove in a triangle formation and I was in front. When we got to the parking lot, all the other biker bikes were there.

"Looks like everyone else is here." Wrench noted.

"That's not gonna stop me from eating!" We parked our bikes and walked inside.

Wrench walked in first, then Chelsea and Steff. They all signaled me to come in and I walked inside. The bikers and the surfers seemed to be arguing. I see my brother singing about the bikers. I start humming the tune its pretty of us sit in a booth, watching the song unfold.

"Bubblegum cherry pop... " There's my sister singing with that amazing voice of hers. I wish I could have a voice like that. Everyone says my voice is amazing, but I'm self conscious you know?

I see that blond boy, who I've never seen before again. He starts to sing after Lela. He's pretty good.

I can see that guy Tanner. He's acting like I don't notice he's staring at me. When I meet his eyes he quickly looks away. I've hardly ever spoken to the guy, what's with all the eye locking and crap?

Big Momma comes over to our booth. "Hey little bikers! What can I get you guys?"

"I'm 15!" I say.

"Oh, I know you are sweet cheeks!" She pinches my cheeks. Everyone sniggers, but me. "Little Jacey is becoming a man!" She gets all emotional. "I remember yesterday that you wanted an adult sizes burger."

"That was yesterday." I roll my eyes.

"Don't you roll your eyes at me!" She hits me on the head with a sandal.

"Ow!"

"I do it because I care. The usual sweet hearts?"

"Yes we all say in unison."

"Oh and put it on Butchy's tab." I say.

"You got it honeybun."

She takes our orders and walks back to the kitchen. The song seems to have ended, because everybody is in their respective booths. I see that blond boy and brunette girl walk past us .

I snap my fingers to get their attention. "Hey!"

They look up at me confused. The guy points to his chest. "Yes you."

The guy and girl walk up to the booth confused. "Where are you from?" I say.

The blond guy tilts his head at me. He's like trying to decipher my face. "Um, far away!" The girl says.

"How far?" Chelsea asks.

"Pretty close!" She says nervously.

"Pretty close but far away?" Steff asks, but it's more of a statement.

"Um..." The blonde boy is still looking at me like I'm crazy.

"You look familiar." He says.

"How so?" I ask.

"Like I've seen you before."

"Well maybe cause you just sang with my brother." I say coolly.

"Brother?!" He asks shocked.

"Yeah brother." I point at Butchy who's talking to Struts.

"Wait so doesn't that make Lela your sister?!"

"Yeah..."

"I need to sit down." He walks over to an empty seat and sits on it thinking.

"I'm sorry about him! I'm Mack and that was Brady. I'll see you later." She grabs him by the arm and takes him out the restaurant.

They were strange...

I look up and Tanner walks past us. He winks at me before he walks out the door.

"Did he just wink at you?" Wrench asks.

"Don't be stupid." I say.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Earlier in the night:

The older teens were having a party at Big Momma's later that night so we basically got kicked out. We sat on the rocks of the beach looking into the night sky. The moon was a full one shining everything with its rays. Steff was talking about the constellations. She could be a really good astronomer one day.

We were out there for probably an hour before Steff started getting tired. Chelsea started to yawn too. So we called it a night. We started walking back to our bikes. Everyone parted ways for the night. When I was riding home I remembered I gave my house keys to Butchy cause he broke his.

"Ugh." I turned back around and drove to Big Momma's. All the bikes were still there, so the others didn't leave. I walked in while my sister was performing. Again with that beautiful voice that she has. I smile, I walk up to Butchy. He doesn't seem happy that I'm here.

"What are you doing here?" He asks.

"I'm sorry, but I needed the house keys. You have them remember?" He looks through his pockets and surprise, they're there.

He puts the keys in my hands and tells me to go home. I do what I'm asked and I turn around. Lela starts to fall off the stage when three things happen.

I trip over absolutely nothing and fall into someone's arms. Butchy tries to save Lela but he ends up catching someone else. Lela doesn't get hurt and is caught by that boy Brady.

Well this is a turn of events.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Present:

"Well hey there." Tanner says to me.

"Um Hi."

He doesn't let me go when I try to scramble away. He gives me a white perfect smile. It literally SHINED. How the hell is that even possible? His grasp on my waist is gets even tighter than it already is.

"What's your name?"

"Jacey."

"That's a pretty name." Pretty. Who does he think I am a girl?

"Jacey!" Butchy comes up to me and separates the both of us. "Go home!"

"But-"

"I said go home!" Before I walk out the door I see Tanner look at me, I feel a longing to go back over to him and apologize for my rude brother. He winks at me and smiles. I give him a small grin. And he takes that as a victory. I also see Lela being separated from that Brady. But who was the guy Butchy caught?
