"7:15 monkeys up and at em'" my older sister fiona waked into each and every one of our rooms in attempt to wake us all.
"hey girls, up lets go go" she hustled into my room- which i shared with my younger sister and brother, where i was tossing and turning. i could just tell today was going to be a bad day.
"ORLI!!!!" debbie threw pillows at me but i just wouldn't budge. it was then she dangled liam above my head and just like that, i was up.
"alright alright fine you got me" i placed my hands up in defeat groaning. it was then i realised i had to rush to the bathroom before the boys got there.
"I CALL DIBS!!" i pushed past the red haired girl- who looked way to much like me, and locked myself in the bathroom. i heard cuss words and groans from the outside and i smirked to myself.
i was a little different to the rest of my siblings. mostly because i didn't want the ghetto to get to me. simply, i didn't want to be like the rest of the people in this shitty neighbourhood. i wanted to actually make something of myself. i wanted to be better than the rest and you could say that made a tinge bit cocky, which was definitely a quality i shared with some of my siblings.
i left the bathroom all dazzled up, just to annoy my brothers. they flipped me off and slammed the door behind them as i walked down the stairs to get breakfast.
"you workin' today?" the older Gallagher asked me, rushing around the kitchen.
"yeah, ian and i will go in after school." i replied, stuffing food into my face.
"oo gotta run" i dumped my food in the sink and ran up the stairs to get the boys.
"boys let's go!" i yelled shoving my boots and coat on.
"if you hadn't taken forever maybe we wouldn't be rushing" ian grumbled and followed after me, Lip doing the same. we all left the house and walked miserably to our poor school.

"the colonial soldiers served what by declaring.."
i was currently in Mr bancrofts class, history.
as much as i loved study or whatever, i hated history. the teacher is a perv, literally.
i sat behind ian who seemed to not be paying attention to the class at all so i started kicking his chair, you know out of boredom.
"don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes" the pervert leaned over to a girl in front of ian, mandy milkovich.
she was- okay.. i guess. a bit clingy at times though. not that i have any experience, just things i heard around.
it was then i peeped over ians shoulder to see that the man had a stiffy- for a student!
"you should kick your bag, make him trip" i whispered over and he chuckled, actually doing what i say.
now i'm not one for seeing people enjoying getting hurt, but he deserved is.
"oh shit!" he stumbled backwards and fell onto the hard, sticky floor. students laughed at the situation before their eyes and ian and i chuckled, looking away. mandy turned around to see me moving ian's bag back and she caught on to see that it was me, or him that helped her out. she looked back at us and gave ian a flirty smile, while i glared at her. with that smile, now i know what i had gotten him into.

i sat behind the register of the Kash n grab where Ian and i worked and ian was on a ladder, placing cans and other gods onto the top shelves. it was a dirty place, but we needed to chip in for the squirrel fund and bills. so little money is better than none. i noticed mandy walking down the steps of the L and towards the store. i relaxed into the broken office chair, knowing what was about to go down.
Ian was gay, only Lip and i knew about it. so what mandy was planning was going to take him by shock. honestly i just couldn't wait to see how he would react. i took a candy bar into my mouth and gave her a fake smile as she made her way over to Ian.
"hey that's sexual harras- mandy?" mandy squeezed Ians butt cheek, and ian was smiling until he saw who it really was. maybe he thought it was Kash. oh yeah, i knew about that too. he's not as slick as he thinks he is.
"hey Ian" the small girl replied flirtatiously.
"uh what's going on" he stuttered over his words, i knew he was nervous. all i did was sit back and giggle to myself.
"i wanted to thank you for coming to my rescue in history class today" i scoffed and earned a glare from the two of them, leaving me no choice but to reply.
"save it milkovich, he doesn't want you" i sung a little low, looking to find a magazine.
"no problem, Mr bancrofts a prick." Ian gave me look as if he didn't want me to step in, little did he know that he would definitely need me help later.
"well i think you might be my knight in shining armour." she taunted to my freckled twin. i let out the loudest laugh as i couldn't hold it in any longer, they both just started to laugh along with me confusingly.
"right" Ian smiled as he climbed down the ladder and walked a little towards towards me.
"you're funny Ian Gallagher" she chuckled in a high pitched voice
"o-okay"
"what time do you get off work" she ran over to him, nudging his side.
"uh... i think it's inventory night, so not till probably really late" he looked over to me, hoping he would get a peep from me but i just chuckled and looked back down to the boring magazine.
"all right, well i guess i'll see you tomorrow around school then? the girl pried.
"yeah, right. see you tomorrow mandy." he chuckled nervously.
she kissed his cheek and grabbed his waist as she after then walked towards me. i earned a threatening glare and waved her off as she left.
ian looked to me, he was dumbfounded. he had no idea what just happened and i couldn't hold my laughter in.
"why'd you tell me freaking tell me trip bancroft over!" he ran by my side, pushing me.
"hey consider it punishment for my homework. you took it all and copied it and then lost it when i needed it the most" i pushed him back.
"you know she's never going to leave me alone now!" he whined as he walked away.
"that's the pointtttttt" i laughed as i sat back doing absolutely nothing at all.

Ian and i finished work after a few hours and Kash walked out with us, leaving Ian a goodbye kiss. i looked away and cringed at the thought of them doing it. but love is love right?
ian and i started walking home when but instead we were greeted with the familiar voice of mandy milkovich, again. she was sitting the back of an open truck, eating something.
"boo" we jumped back by surprise.
"mandy?" we both questioned.
"shoo, you spawn of ian. i raised my hands in defeat, walking the other direction to hide behind the truck, to eavesdrop of course.
"you miss me" i heard her faint voice.
"i- i guess" ian stuttered.
"uh, what are you doing here?"
"waiting to walk you home silly" i guessed it was my cue to leave as i peeded to look at them- there arms were linked and walking probably to my house because of the direction they were going. since i didn't really want to be seen near or with them, i took the long way home running so i could catch up on homework.
i got home before them thank god. i sat on the couch and carl sat below me, as we watched a movie and he played with his melted action figures. i had my books laid out in front of me and multitasked, that was until i heard the door open- revealing the two.
"how'd you get home before me?" Ian stutered.
"ran AND took the long way" i emphasised the and part. they both sat next to me on the couch. mandy was on my right and ian was next to her. i had never been more uncomfortable in my life.
i looked out of the corner of my eye and she kept on taking peeps at ian. he got up and i could tell he was uncomfortable.
"do you uh- want another beer?" he motioned to her and me.
"okay- but don't be too long" she look flustered as i got up to follow ian into the kitchen.
"she's trying to-"
"i know! i know" he whispered yelled to me.
"how do i get her to stop?" he pleaded.
"don't ask me" i chuckled as i saw carl get up and make his way to us.
"you're leaving?" ian questioned both carl and i.
"yeah, enjoy getting herpes." he said and i laughed , patting his shoulder. deep down i didn't want to leave Ian by himself because i knew she would probably end up raping him so i instead sat at the kitchen table while carl went upstairs.
i was so focused on my homework i didn't even notice what was happening before my eyes. i heard muffled struggles of pain and i quickly looked up, only to find mandy sitting on top of my brother making her way down to his pants. i took this as my cue to get her the fuck out of here.
"hey! get the fuck off him" i yelled as i ran over to them slapping mandy in the face.
"what the fuck Orli!" she ghosted her hand over where i hit her.
"i really don't think that was necess-"
before ian could finish speaking mandy got up and ran out of the door screaming and crying. ian followed her out of the house and i sat on the couch thinking about what i just did.
i was never one to incite violence- i had no idea what had gotten into me, and i didn't like it one bit.
