My name is Maebelline Milli Murchison and no I am not from New York.

I am not a big fan of the Maebelline thing so most people call me Mae or the just bearable Mabel by others. Nobody really knows that my proper name is Maebelline, everyone just assumes it's Mabel, but I'm cool with that cause what Pogue wants a Kooky name.

I actually live very far away from the great New York City in a place called Outerbanks where the island is split into two catagories; The Pogues and The Kooks.

The Kooks are the rich bitches of the world, snobby, think that are better than everyone especially the Cameron family, but we'll get to that later. They live on what we call the figure eight, where all the rich luxuries of life are, such as working generators after a hurricane.

The Pogues are the working class, who actually put in some work to get where they want not just inherit it all. We live on the cut where life is a bit more freer and not strangled by those ridiculous polo shirts and upperclass rituals such as Mid-Summers. Although if you were born into it you would think it's normal.

But it's really not.

My alarm blasted its frown causing sound through my room signalling my worst nightmare. The start to another year of high school, thankfully the last but certain people made it hard to focus on that positive.

I groaned and rolled out of bed before stumbling my way over to my draws. I wasn't exactly a morning person and that fact I couldn't fully open my eyes yet showed that.

My fingers fumbled over handles of my draws as I pulled them open and grabbed out a long white skirt, small baby blue singlet top, an over sized white jersey and a bandana. I headed to my bathroom clumsily bumping into the door frame on the way. I turned on the shower and waited for it to become a luke warm temperature. I jumped in and immediately shoved my face under the running water, shocking myself awake. I moan and pulled my head out from the water not really wanting to be awake at this early hour, 8 am.

I sadly left the shower when I heard my second alarm of the day go off. I pouted and dried my body before getting dressed. I combed my hairbrush gently through my wavy brunette hair before I tied the bandana around it near the top pulling a few strands out to frame my face.

I smiled to myself in the mirror letting out a nervous breath, first day back was always the worst. You see, I happen to be that braniac pogue girl who is in all the Kook classes. Fun, right?

Therefore I was an outcast not only among the Pogues but also the Kooks which I shared classes with. Although I did have my best friend, Katelyn Tregenza, that childhood best friend we all longed for.

Other than her everybody basically hated my guts because I was going places they couldn't. The Kooks hated it the most though cause how dare a pogue who doesn't have a private tutor sit in the same classes as them. The worst of them was Rafe Cameron, King of the school, my worst nightmare. He didn't care much for school but somehow his private tutor seemed to be able to make him extremely intelligent despite his lack of desire for it.

We often ended up taunting each other, bickering and if there was a debate in a classroom you could bet we were the cause of it. I could just envision the teachers groaning when they saw us on their class list although there would also be some bitter sweet feelings this year, as this was our last. Therefore I bickering would most likely escalate tremendously, it was our last year and many insults and witty comebacks were still left to be said.

I walked out of bathroom and grabbed my small tote bag with my locker keys inside before I climbed out of my window.

Yes I know how weird that sounds but please stick with me.

Katelyn and I we were those cliche best friend live right next door to each other types. Our houses met at one point on our roofs with a tree not to far away that over the years we had perfected getting down, no broken bones these days. I skirted over the roof to where Katelyn was waiting at the intersection of our roofs.

"Finally! I've been waiting for a whole minute" she sarcastically said throwing her hands in the air. I rolled my eyes as soft laughs fell from my lips. She was so sarcastic.

"A whole minute! I'm surprised you're not dead" I toyed back as a loud giggle erupted from her lips. She was about to climb down via the tree when a smirk fell onto my lips.

"There is no way you'll climb down your railing" I called as her eyes rose back up a sigh slowly leaving her lips.

"Really?" she huffed but a glint of amusement at my challenge shined in her eyes.

"You know the rules, now hit that railing" I said and watched as she flipped her hair over her shoulder oozing with confidence.

She gripped the railing hard and started her treacherous descent down but not before she called back to me smugly.

"There is No Way you are not doing it with me" she said as I groaned realizing that I should've started climbing down before she could turn the tables on me.

I did a little jump onto her roof and made my treacherous descent down, nearly slipping a few times but I managed to make it down in one piece.

Katelyn smiled at me smugly as I turned to face her.

"Mae you always get stumped by the turn around, don't you? Which is ironic considering you invented it" she said and linked her arm through mine as we began to walk to school.

"Oh shush!" I hissed jokingly as she rolled her eyes at me.

The No Way Games was a game we invented when we were in primary school. We found it fun cause it made us push our boundaries, well break them more then push. Now days there was hardly anything we hadn't done expect those which broke our rules, and we weren't going to do them anytime soon.

There was only three rules.

1. It is only a challenge if it starts with 'There is No Way'. IF they don't say that then it isn't a proper challenge and the other does not have to follow through with it.

2. The Challenge can not be some life changing or destructive to someone else's property.

3. Once the words No Way are said you cannot refuse to do the challenge.
