'Hi. I'm Alex, the not so normal 17 year old. I get lots of weird looks, porbably because of my title as genderqueer or non binary and that little lump in my jacket where my trusty knife stays at all times. If you don't know what genderqueer is or why I have a knife then let me explain. Genderqueer is when you don't identify yourself with a gender. And I also have two knives, one daggur and 3 guns. Why? Because I'm part of one of the most powerful gangs in my country! Anyways, enough with the narrating, let's get on with my last day in highschool.'

As Alex walked to the front gates of their highschool for the last time, they thought about how they weren't going to miss this place. They saw their best friend, (for 12 years now) Max and waved. Max waved back. He's a tall kid, with light brown skin and dark brown haid and hazel-green eyes. He's only a few months older than Alex, but he's already 18. Alex is still waiting till August. Alex is fairly tall, with tan white skin and shoulder length hair with a streak of white in it. Max has it to, as it's a symbol of their gang. And, yes, Max is in it to. In their gang, they target rich people, then they kill them, loot their homes, then erase any trace of them being there. Alex and Max have been in this gang for almost 3 years. It's good pay to with $7000-8000 a week. Much better than their day jobs.Moving on. Alex reached Max at last and they began talking about their strategies for their next mission when the bell rang.

"I'm so happy to know that this is one of the last times I will hear that bell," Alex told her friend.

"Yeah, same," he told them as they walked inside the school.

' We're just gonna skip to recess because I don't like class.'

While Alex was sitting on the fountain in the school garden waiting for Max, their phone suddenly rung. They checked it and saw they had a new message from their gang leader. They read it. it said: " I need all members of this gang to meet at base four in the next one and a half hours, no later." after seeing this, Alex ran off to find Max. when they finally did find Max, he was already at the gates.

"Bro, where were you? I was looking for you every where," Alex said when they finally reached Max, out of breath.

"Heh, sorry Alex I had to stay late in class for missing homework," Max said nervously.

"Whatever. We need to get to which base again?" Alex asked him

Max checked his messages. "Number four."

" 'Kay. Let's go"

And with that, they both walked out the gates. Because it was lunch, they were alould to leave campus, but they had to come back afterwards. Alex and Max had no intension of doing this. If their boss had a mission for them, there was no way they would be back in time. They just had to hope that their boss had a mission for them and that they weren't in trouble.

"Hey, isn't base four over this way?" Alex asked, pointing in the opposite direction that they were going in.

" Oh yeah, true. It can be really confusing sometimes," Max replied.

About half an hour later, they finally reached base four's doors and punched in the code. The doors opened and they walked in. As soon as they walked in, they heard a voice behind them.

" Hello. I'm so glad you could make it"
