Author's Note:
So, I watched this film the other day and I loved it. And I've decided to write a fanfic on it. This is a Gabe/OC, just throwing that our there if you hadn't already guessed. Also this is the first story where I've used the new-person-speaking-new-line strategy so please be nice. Anyway link to what the OC looks like is on my profile, other than that enjoy the story and review if you can.

"This is your Radio Rebel, live from the underground. You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. Because I'm one of you" I turned up the volume on my radio and listened intently. Everyone at school looked up to Radio Rebel in some way, she encouraged us to do what we wanted without caring about what other people though. It didn't matter that no one knew who she was, she was inspirational to me and my friends.

"Report cards came out today. I got a minus for participation, you can't give me a minus for being who I am. So, since grades are being handed out I think I should give all of us at Lincoln Bay High an 'F' for labelling each other. Jocks, outcasts, dorks, queen B's and their fellow pops. And new born pops. Guys these aren't who we really are, there was a time when being different was a good thing. Now those differences just divide us, you deserve to embrace your awesomeness, embrace who you are. Reject the status quo, I dare you"

I smiled at her words but sighed "If only it was that easy" I muttered staring down at my rather difficult Math homework. A lot of us would love to stand up for ourselves, speak up to the higher people. But if we did there was a large risk of embarrassment, and detention. Everything Radio Rebel talked about made sense and she definitely knew how our school social system worked. But like I said, if only it was that easy.

I opened my locker and sighed as I grabbed my books for the day. I hadn't gotten much sleep last night and it was definitely effecting me today "Okay, last night Radio Rebel..." Audrey started while taking the bright red lollipop out of her mouth.

"Was Awesome?" Tara asked knowingly. I smiled and closed my locker before turning to face my best friends.

"As usual. Reject the status quo is my new life motto, she's so inspiring so...herself" Audrey exclaimed before sucking on the lollipop.

"I wish I could be more like her" Tara sighed in thought.

"You should talk to your step-dad" I suggested shrugging. Her eyes widened.

"What. Why?"

"Uh...he runs Slam FM the biggest Radio Station in Seattle. Maybe he could give you an internship, that would be a confidence booster right?" Audrey asked seeing where I was going with my suggestion.

"Are you kidding me? He's been married to my mom for two months, and he probably thinks I'm a total step-freak. I freak out when he asks what kind of cereal I want" Tara replied shuddering.

Audrey closed her own locker and we started to head for class "I just wish I could talk to everyone the way I talk to you guys. I guess that's why you're my BFF's" she added.

"BFFTLEWE" Audrey corrected. We gave her questioning looks "Best friends for totally like ever without exception" she explained.

"Catchy" I shrugged.

"You need a relaxation technique. When I'm rehearsing lines for drama I imagine I'm breathing in the words" Audrey said. We once again gave her questioning looks.

"Audrey, what does that even mean?" Tara asked with narrowed eyes.

Audrey cleared her throat before taking a very deep breath "You need to breathe your words" she exhaled the words in a very freaky way.

"How can you even breathe at a time like this!" Barry exclaimed popping up behind us with his twin.

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. The boys were very nice but...eccentric. They were twins but fraternal, though despite that fact they always asked us if they looked identical. It was quite amusing really.

"Problem Barry?" I asked hugging my books tighter to my chest.

"Last night, Radio Rebel revealed the biggest clue yet about her identity. She goes to our school" he replied over-dramatically as we walked towards the elevator.

"She mentioned it and then at 14:30 in Tuesday nights podcast" Larry told us as we all entered the elevator.

"You guys have way too much free time" I remarked giggling.

"Yeah, obsessed much Larry?" Audrey added.

"Obsessed? Please I would hardly describe myself as obsessive" he exclaimed. We all nodded and watched as he wiped an elevator button with a hand wipe before pushing it.

"What? It's flu season" he said defensively as the doors closed. We nodded and the lift began to rise "It's so exciting, she's actually one of us" he said as we exited the elevator.

As we started walking the twins started to point out different girls that they thought might be Radio Rebel. I personally though they were both insane.

"No dude, Radio Rebel is like 5ft 6 to me and has red hair. Like Tara's" he said gesturing to our painfully shy friend.

"No she's nothing like Tara" Barry replied shaking his head.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" she asked sounding slightly offended. I didn't blame her.

"Oh we love you...but you're nothing like Radio Rebel who's definitely a blonde" he said turning to his brother. I rolled my eyes.

"And you know this how?" Larry asked curiously.

"Radio Rebel is my soul-mate. We're connected for example I also got a minus in participation" Barry said in a 'duh' tone.

"How can that be you never shut up" His brother exclaimed.

They once again started to argue so I averted my gaze to something else. Unfortunately everything was the same here, nothing really every changed. Stacey and her 'friends' tormented any student that passed them, which I found strange as she'd actually been on the receiving end of it once. And I knew more than anyone how she felt about it, yet here she was doing what was done to her.

"Guys, how do we reject the status quo when the status quo is...status quo" Tara said in thought. I glanced to see they were all watching Stacey talk some crap about a guys head being too 'pointy'.

"Like Radio Rebel said 'Be ourselves'" Audrey declared.

I tilted my head and watched in horror as she walked towards Stacey. This confrontation would not end well, I would know. They all followed and I stayed where I was for a few minutes. I sighed having a mental argument with myself before finally catching up to them.

"Please, like I would ever encourage people like you to talk to us" Stacey snapped as I reached the group.

"Ah ha! So you admit you listen to her" Larry exclaimed as though he'd cracked some sort of code.

"This one's staring at me. Make it stop" Stacey's friend said nervously as Barry stared straight into her eyes.

"Please don't stand so close to us" Stacey said before turning back to her texting.

"You and I aren't any different. Like Radio Rebel said..." Audrey paused as Stacey held up a finger.

"No words. You don't think we're different? Watch and learn. Principal Moreno!" Stacey called. The principal walked our way and I inwardly groaned.

"Stacey. Is everything alright over here?" she asked curiously. Stacey sighed.

"Actually no. Audrey was trying to get me to listen to some podcast in class, of course I said no"

"What? No...I mean I never..." Audrey stuttered turning to our Principal.

"You know that there's an anti-distraction policy. Let me see your bag" Moreno said. Audrey huffed and reluctantly let Moreno take her radio "You too young lady hand it over" Moreno held her hand out to Tara who did the same without question "Thank you for bringing this to my attention Stacey" she said before walking away. I rolled my eyes.

"Get it now? Your little DJ hero doesn't know what she's talking about" Stacey said smugly "Oh! Does her royal shy-ness wanna say something?"

I turned my head to see Tara struggling to speak. She obviously wanted to defend both her friend and herself, but wasn't able to. I placed a hand against my chest and ran a thumb over my necklace, a nervous habit I suppose.

"I thought not" Stacey shrugged before walked away with her posse.

"At least your tried" I reassured turning to Tara. She nodded with a sad expression and we headed to class.
