she'd flinch and then smiled like it was all a grand joke. I could see Taylor breathing hard with rage, ready to fight, regardless of the odds. Alexis put an arm around one of her friends and the group left. I breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a close call.

Life was good when I was in high school. I had a great girlfriend and some really good friends. I had lots of money and the future looked wide open. This all fell apart when one of my gamblers lost all his rent money on a bad beat and went to the cops. It was bullshit, the guy had made the bet himself, but that didn't change the fact that I was running an illegal game. Luckily, I was still a youth.
I was found guilty in youth court. Luckily, I had no record, so the judge wanted to help a "poor kid from the streets." I was given a lengthy probation and narrowly escaped being sent to a juvenile detention center.
High school continued much the same as before. I had to talk to a parole officer who kept a close eye on my marks and was in regular contact with my principal. At least I still got to hang out with regular kids and not the delinquents from juvie. Unfortunately, Christine, my girlfriend, was very upset when she heard of the charges. Christine was angry that I was in trouble with the law, even though she knew what I had been doing. I took the reprimands in stride and she stayed at my side through the entire ordeal.

Taylor seemed eager to prove herself and was continually getting into fights. I was amazed that she was never charged with anything serious and never got sent to juvie. We hung out a lot during our high school years, although it seemed unlikely that she was going to graduate.
Together, we ruled the school. We made sure everyone respected us and took no shit from anyone.
I concentrated on my schoolwork and tried to not get in trouble.
We started extorting money from the other kids at school.
I hardly ever went to class, spending more time on the streets than in school.
