A/N: I am currently rewriting the prologue and all eight chapters. For now it isn't necessary to re-read them (they are just better written), if this changes I will mention it in an updated chapter.

Ever since I could remember people have known me as Two-Bit's kid sister. It never really bothered me before. People were nice to me and no one really ever bothered me all that much.
The first time it had ever really bugged the hell outta me was when I met Colin Middleton, the cute blond who sat behind me in history class. And when I finally worked up the guts to talk to the guy, the first words out of his mouth were: "Hey, you're Two-Bit Mathews' kid sister, right?"
Nothing pissed me off more then being called kid, especially by someone younger than I was. Once people- and by people I mean guys- figured out who my brother was it was all they seemed to want to talk about... or not talk at all. They either loved Keith or wanted nothing to do with me because of Keith. And for the most part it didn't bother me much, I mean it did weed out a lot of assholes.
Colin Middleton was my eye opener. They all treated me differently, whether it was my brothers' friends, guys from other gangs or even Socs... not that I was complaining. I knew a lot of girls who were hassled to no end. I used to think that made me lucky but I'd rather have guys hassle me then not even giving me a glance. It wasn't as if I couldn't take care of myself, after all I was a Mathews.
Then there were people like teachers who despised me simply because my last name was Mathews. Most adults like store clerks and my friends' parents looked at me like I was up to no good... like I was no better than the guys who ran with the Shepard gang.
Don't get me wrong I loved my brother more than anything in the world. I just wanted people to know who I was. I was my own person and I was determined to let all of Tulsa know it.
I was about to make a change, one that would get me recognized. People were gonna know who Jane Mathews was, for better or for worse.
There were no more rules, no limits; for the new Jane Mathews, anything goes.

A/N: I want to say a big huge thank you to everyone at GG&SC because with you guys there would be no Jane and that would be… really upsetting. So thanks for being so epically awesome! I also enjoy reviews, so go do that and I'll love you forever.
