Prologue

Tori sat on the steps of the High school. She was waiting for Trina to finish practicing to audition for Hollywood Arts with Shelby at her side. The twins were seriously bored with life. Shelby kept doing somersaults in the parking lot.

Tori had her science book open on her lap. The end of Seventh grade was fast approaching and she really didn't want to fail her exams. A car pulled up at the curb. Three girls inside. They all looked alike. The Oldest apparently behind the wheel was arguing with the middle sister who stepped out of the car slamming the door. "Liz you are NOT going to the party!" The oldest said. The third girl finally looked toward her sister and giggled at her older sister's raised middle finger. She was much younger, around their age, and something about the three girls had Tori completely mesmerized.

Tori's eyes followed Liz the cheerleader. And watched her walk all the way into the school. "Tori, you're drooling," Shelby said with a smirk.

"Fuck Shel, she is so hot," Tori said and Shelby laughed.

"You are so gay!" the older twin replied.

"Did you see them, all Three of them… Hot!"

"Tor I thought you liked Amber."

"Well I know, but I can look, can't I? It isn't as if I'm out and can get a girlfriend or anything."

"Why not?" Shelby asked. "It's not like Mom and Dad will care, neither will Trina."

"I don't know…" Tori said

"Tori! Shelby!" A girl, blonde and leggy almost as cute as Liz, comes over.

"Amber?" Tori said her mouth was going dry. This girl was her weakness.

"Hey Amber,'' Shelby said landing next to Tori and then pushing her forward a little. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, Just waiting for my brother's basketball game to be over. "I fucking hate the team but mom is all like, we have to support."

"Tell us about it, Trina is practicing for Hollywood Arts auditions, and we're stuck here," Shelby said because Tori had retreated into herself and was looking off to the corner. There were two girls at the far end of the parking lot making out.

"Gross," Amber said, and Tori finally looked back at her.

"What?" Tori asked.

"Two girls kissing is so weird. Totally Grody" Amber said.

Shelby stepped in front of Tori and faced the girl. "It's Not weird," Shelby said.

"I like girls," Tori said softly.

Amber looked at her friend like she had grown a second head. "Ewww!"

Shelby took a deep breath and cocked her arm back and punched Amber in the face.

Amber screamed as Shelby pounded her. "Shel, no!" Tori said. She tried to pull her sister off. Shelby was always so protective of her and her feelings. And Tori was the only one that could calm her. "Shel, 'c'mon."

"Wait, what are you doing?" Liz said, pushing Shelby back. "Get off her!" Tori pulled Shelby back further. "Mr. Nolan!"

The principal came out and lifted a flailing Shelby away from everyone. Before they knew it, Tori Shelby and Trina were all sitting in the principal's office, Their Mom and Dad standing behind them frowning. "I have petitioned for Shelby to be expelled. She can go to the alternative school so she has a way to channel her anger."

"Alternative school?" Shelby protested.

"Wait, Dad!" Tori said looking up at her father. "I can't go to school without Shelby. I won't survive."

"Right, I'm not going to be next to her next year," Trina stated

"After speaking with the principal of the middle school, I know that this is not an isolated incident."

"Well if they would stop trying to put their hands on my sister," Shelby growled.

"Maybe it's not such a bad idea." Their dad said. "Maybe it will do some good for you all to stand on your own.

"What?" all three of the girls said. And Tori retreated inside herself.

That year of eighth grade was hard for Tori. especially since everyone in school knew she was into girls, even if she didn't ever say it out loud again.

Shelby, however, had found that Alternative school suited her. She is able to do different things and it is the first time she gets in the ring. Learning to box and moving on to MMA, coming home every day happy and exhausted.
