The Blacktop Brothers

Waking up from a sound outside sounded like a familiar sound to the one who heard it. A sound that made Paige Katika angry 16 hours a day. She woke up to see that: A group of boys were spray painting her car! Paige was 15 years old and her 16th birthday was in 3 days. She had been saving it for a special driving course afterward, which she would drive in driving lessons to celebrate her birthday, and now it was ruined. Who was it that caused this disaster? It was the Blacktop Brothers. Paige screamed. “You rats. You jerks! You dweebs!” She ran downstairs in tears and anger, and she got outside, barefoot, only to see the brothers running away at the end of the street. She began to sob, even though this wasn’t the first time those guys made her cry. Being Paige and saying the blacktop brothers bully you is an understatement, big time. They had quite the history. The brothers were nothing but troublemakers with dark black hearts: 100% black. At least that’s how much they showed their friendship to others. Once they broke the Katika’s window to scare them and steal their TV. Paige didn’t have proof of it, but they were the primary suspects in her book. School was another problem, and another big problem. It was common for the blacktop brothers to come to Paige’s house in the middle of the night, and it was never to say a friendly “hi.” Paige stayed up almost every night on watch for them. She didn’t remember the last time she stayed in bed for three hours straight in peace. Therefore, at school, Paige would almost always either be cranky 24/7, or fell asleep first period, and didn’t wake up until after last period with spitballs in her hair, and they are the main reason Paige doesn’t have any friends, and is lucky to get over 20% in any of her classes. Not only that, many people around Paige always take the quartet’s side, as if they were their lawyer’s due to this behavior not even on purpose. This included the principal of the school, her teachers, even her parents. The only person around Paige who took her side pretty much was her grandma. It was like her grandma was the key to light, and the gangsters were the darkness. The last name of the gang was Philp, and there were 5 in total. Their names were Mark, Yle, Quentin, and their leader aka the oldest of the group was named Madik. There was one other brother that no longer did robbery, vandalism, or assassination: his name was David. He used to be just like them, but for some reason, that made Paige curious for a while was that he wasn’t with them during their jobs. But right now, to poor Paige, with her heart crushed with a want for revenge and her lungs bringing in air like crazy, this was the worst and most foul thing they did yet. To prove it, her grandma had given her a bright-red Lamborgini. but now it was wrecked deliberately, in mint condition just seconds ago. And that was the only thing. She looked over it to see how much damage they had done. They had spray painted their initials on it: 2 on both sides in yellow. And the front was bent, dented, and scratched! As Paige fell asleep right there on the driveway, the tears still running down her cheeks, this was her goal bigger than moving to her grandma’s condo and living a better life with her; To put them in jail and drive them out of town even if it costs her her life, as she doze on the driveway into a dreamless sleep.
