So this is sort of based off one of my favorite movies ever 10 Things I Hate About You. I am more just stealing the setting and characters than the plot... if that makes any sense? ANYWAYS here ya go...


PROLOGUE

Taking a walk in downtown Chicago at 2 am isn't a good idea for anyone, let alone me, a sixteen-year-old, blonde, high school senior. So when a strange silver car drives past me for the third time in five minutes, it's not a shock when a drunken slur of "Hey sugar? Where 'you goin'?" eventually makes it's way out of the car window.

I should have been home two hours ago, but as my dad would say, "teenagers, never doing what they are supposed to!"

I pull my hand out of my jacket pocket and raise my middle finger. I should probably learn, that the best way to get cat-callers to leave you alone is just to ignore them, but I'm too prideful.

"Hey!" another alcoholic voice from the car yells to me. Two of them, wonderful. "We just want to talk, baby!"

I roll my eyes and dig for the pepper spray in my purse. I can act like a badass all I want, right now, though; I'm scared to my core. "Sorry, I'm mute. But thank you for your time!" I shout to them.

I expect some kind of remark back, but I guess they grow tired of me and drive away. I sigh in relief, the chills on my arms fading away. Looking around anxiously, I rush to my car; the unwelcome chill never going away.


REALLY SHORT, I KNOW. most chapters will be wayy longer:)
