Coach Reilly used to say that our generation was weak. We were coddled, addicted to our phones, wouldn’t last a day in the real world. He’d always say that when civilization came crashing down, we’d all come crawling to him, begging him to protect us. And then he’d smile and say he might be able to protect some of us, and leer at one of the girls. Coach Reilly was a real creep, which is why one time, me and Jasmine and the rest of the gang all worked it out so we’d get Saturday detentions on the week Coach Reilly was the monitor, and we made sure he knew how much we did not like his tone. And he never came back.

My name’s Lizzie Reyes, and this is my school. Clifton High. It’s a real craphole… neighborhood’s got a lot a gangs and the bad kind of cops. Power goes out, sometimes for a couple days at a time. Teachers don’t always show up sober, or at all. Art program got cut. The way I figure, there’s not much I can do to make the school better, but we can at least keep it safe. So this is our territory, Jasmine and Shauna and El and Mary and Iz and me. If you have problems, doesn’t matter if you’re a teacher or student or whatever. We’ll take on your tormenter. We’ll steal your stuff back. Iz got kidnapped that one time and we managed to get her back even though that was a whole, like, thing.

But if you start causing trouble on our territory? Well, buddy, you have made a mistake, because we will let you know that we don’t appreciate that sort of thing. And funnily enough, nobody needs to get told twice.

Fancy Moves: Lizzie used to be pretty good at gymnastics, before the school had to sell off all the equipment.
