"The hell with you then, I didn't ask for help and I sure as hell don't need any."

Name The name's Kaycee James, KC for short.
Age Seventeen and four months, and 3 days.
Gender I'm a female.
Personality Look, kid, I don't have time for this nonsense, alright? Nor will I have any time for it. You have twenty seconds to show me why I should listen to some little star-eyed teen.
Real Personality Kaycee a very gritty view of reality. She doesn't take crap from anyone, whether they be beggars or choosers. She just does what she has to to stay alive. To her, it's just a one-woman band.

KC's very independent and has a very sharp mouth that she doesn't hesitate to use. Kaycee, however, has an odd quirk. She loves to laugh. At anything, which some people find a bit off-putting because KC's laugh, ever so often, comes off maniacal and sadistic.

KC is also very proud of what she does and what she has done in the past. The woman won't let anyone tell her any different and will protect her honor and pride at all costs.

Job Currently, I have a summer job tutoring children ages 12 to 14.
Height/Weight It's not very polite to ask a woman her weight, but I do weigh about 144 lbs and stand at 5'6.
Body marks My ears are pierced and I have a small eagle tattoo on my shoulder.
Body shape I'm average for a lady. Good looking, if I might add.
Appearance Just look through the album, will you? I have business to attend to.

a quarter after nine , Jack layed in his bed , hands behind his head until he heard his parent's bedroom door close . he waited a few minutes , then quickly rolled out of his queen sized bed onto his feet silently . he tossed his covers to the side , and grabbed his dark green cargo jacket , throwing it on . he turned back around and stuffed a pillow under his sheets to make it look like he was sound asleep in case his parent's came to check on him like they usually did . " couldn't leave me alone for more than a couple minutes ", he mumbled to himself . sliding the window open for the hundredth time , he slipped out , closed it , and slid down the roof smoothly . he lowered himself down , and landed on his feet before breaking into a sprint . jumping the bushes , he made it to the sidewalk before slowing to a walk . a sly smile spread across his usually handsome face , as he strolled down the sidewalk like he had done many times before . exiting his cheery neighborhood , he made his way to town . the street lamps cast a hazy light throughout the otherwise dark empty street , an autumn breeze drifting by to carry colored leaves along the ground . he stopped at a streetlight to check his phone , a text from his friend Michael saying, " get your *ss over here . " smiling down at his phone , he texted back ," fine ", before slipping it back in his pocket . he shoved his hands in his jacket pockets , making a turn down a familiar yet dark alley . he climbed the chain link fence , using his well built arms . he jumped down from the fence , and jogged around a couple of buildings before coming to the spot him and his friends usually met up at , what they called ,' the campout '. it was an empty field with long flowing grass , except for a couple of tall pine trees located towards the back , a few old and rusty cars within the ring of trees . he grinned , seeing a flicker of a flame in the distance , knowing Michael already started up the fire pit .

after reaching the spot he knew since he was a kid , he flashed a grin at his friend Michael , who was crouching near the fire and throwing more branches and twigs in . Michael was a smaller guy , with jet black hair , and a really sharp jawline . he usually liked the same things as Jack , but was much more into the ladies than him . and much more into himself which got real annoying at times . but he was his best friend since kindergarten , so there wasn't really walking out on him . he spoke , his husky voice echoing slightly around the ring of trees , rusty old cars , and years of fun and laughter ," Hey dude . " he slapped him on the back , which was their usual greeting . Michael's much lighter voice rang out as Jack settled down on the pine nettles beside his friend ," Hey , how's it going ? " Jack focused his gaze on the blazing fire before them , admiring the licking flames ," Nothin' much . Say they hired a new chick at Paul's Donuts . you hit on her yet ? " his friend glanced over , his dark hazel eyes holding a mischievous glint in them, " Not yet . i certainly plan to though . "Michael looked at the fire , then back at him , flashing his straight teeth ," but i planned on hitting the one at the bookstore first . " Jack rolled his eyes , then began to toss pine nettles into the fire , increasing it's intense fumes . usually all his friends wore the faint scent of camp fire , which was the way all of them were since they decided to build a fire pit year's ago . they always set stuff on fire , which was usually fun , but it got old after a while . his other bud's Jake and Vincent , couldn't make it tonight because their parents punished them after they found out that they stole a case of beer from the local convenient store . Jack wasn't with them at the time , but he was waiting back at their spot . him and Michael had laughed while the two got dragged away by their parents . it would be a couple days , or perhaps a week before they would see them again .
him and Michael were the sly ones anyway , usually the ones with the brains in the operation . Vincent and Jake were the brawn , and weren't as smart . Jack loved them all as brothers anyway , since it was them that got him throughout his years .

"Yeah, that's it!" Kaycee said encouragingly as she watched the ten-year-old figure out the tough multiplication problem. It was a word problem, which in KC's opinion, was the most annoying type of math problem. But this kid had stuck it out and KC admired that because she knew she would've given up earlier. The little boy was a bit younger than all of her other students and she had let him study with her anyways. She held up her hand for a high-five, which the bright-orange haired kid gave. The little boy gave her a lopsided smile, his eyes bright with confidence. She returned the smile and then checked the time on the watch she wore on her right wrist. "There's time for one more problem, okay? Then it's time to go." KC had woken up early that morning to fit the little boy in so that r could have a math lesson. Kaycee had fallen in love with the little boy, who's name was Finn, the first time she had met him. She hadn't been able to get to him during the first few lessons. They happened to be at the beginning of summer and Finn's sass level was turned up to 100. But as Kaycee was able to get through to him, she found that he was a lot like her which KC loved, of course. And most of the time, Kaycee didn't much like the kids she had to tutor in the summer. A lot of them smart-mouthed her more than KC would care to admit and she had ended up losing it several times. She watched Finn's smile deflate and it was soon morphed into a pout. Finn had grown to like this girl a lot, too. Kaycee's heartstrings pulled and she desperately wanted to say tha she could make more time, but she couldn't. Kaycee's maximum tutoring time was forty-five minutes and it had been forty-minutes already. After Finn's time was up, she had a short time to run to the cafe in town to get coffee and then had another tutoring session. The girl KC was tutoring following Quinn was a bit older and had much more of an attitude. Kaycee was tutoring the teen in science but the hormonal-driven teen often was stubborn and tried to make KC do all the work. When Finn finished the problem, he latched himself onto Kaycee until his mom arrived to pick him up. Like normal, Finn's mother would hand her thirty dollars and then drag Finn away. Everytime the mother paid her, KC wanted to hand back the money and say that seeing Finn each week was enough of a reward, but she restrained herself. And besides, Kaycee knew she needed the money.

As Finn walked off with his mom, he turned to give Kaycee a wave. She returned it and then focused on packing away her materials. She had brought a notebook, pencil and a planner. The planner was for scheduling tutoring sessions and everything else was pretty much self-explanatory. KC shoved all of these into a worn brown book bag that she loved nd strung the long strap over her shoulder. Kaycee pushed in the two wooden library chairs and then left the library. As soon as Kaycee felt the warm air, she shifted entirely. Kaycee's face returned to that all too familiar stone face, seen by friends, foes, and strangers alike. It gave KC a more intimidating aura. Besides, no one could know that she was so pathetically in love with a little ten year old who had managed to steal her heart through learning. Kaycee strode down the sidewalk, taking her time but pushing through crowds of need be. KC always needed coffee these mornings because the person that followed Finn was a 13 year old girl. She was stubborn, problematic and very much hormonal. Kaycee hadn't been able to get through to her at all and still struggled with it. Often times the girl with try and make Kaycee so angry that KC would just do the work. And that had worked once but then Kaycee stopped. However, many times Kaycee came close to throttling the thirteen year old. When she reached the coffe shop, KC checked her watch and saw that she had 10 minutes before she had to go back to the library. KC hopped into the line of people in front of her and hoped it moved fast, but she wouldn't leave without a steaming cup of java in her hands.

Jack had returned late at night to his house , not having been caught as usual . his alarm clock blared the annoying little beeping sound Jack relied on to wake him up on time . he mumbled grumpily into his pillow , and moaned as he turned his head to seeing the bright red numbers reading 8:00 . he growled at it , and slammed down on the button with his hand . he rolled out of bed , tossing the blanket aside . having only his boxers on , he lumbered to the bathroom that was connected to his bedroom . he brushed his teeth , and tamed his crazy bedhead . after throwing on a fresh pair of jeans and a white t-shirt , he grabbed his jacket , phone , and wallet , heading out for work . his parents usually got up before him , which was the same routine for years . he read the note they had left him on the fridge , and grabbed a poptart with a soda . he wolfed down the poptart and chugged the soda on his way to the coffee shop , throwing the soda can in the trashcan outside the busy cafe .

he hurried to the back of the building , and entered in the busy kitchen . he threw on the black apron he usually wore at work , ( which he always hated but due to the job requirements he put it on anyway ) , and tagged his fellow employee , letting her know her shift was over , and his was beginning . he was at the cash register today , to him it was the easier job . still having a lingering scent of campfire on his skin , he made his way to the counter , ready to listen to what the customer's request was . a dark skinned man , with a sharp nose , in a freshly ironed suit , who usually came around the same time everyday for coffee , was at the counter , ready to throw his order at Jack . of course , he already knew what the man usually ordered , so he simply asked him ," the usual ? " the man nodded curtly , and sternly said ," make it snappy . " Jack nodded his head along with the man's words , saying it with him ," yeah , yeah , make it snappy . y'know Tom , you always say that . " He barked at his wimpy co worker ," Eddie get Tom his large cappuccino . " after seeing Eddie fumble for the cups , Jack rolled his eyes , and focused his attention on his next customer . it was a pretty brunette girl with decent looks who was at the counter . Jack was used to all kinds of chirpy and popular girls who came to the counter , and saw at least a dozen a day . all of them not worth his time . he asked her with a rather annoyed voice ," What can I get you ? " his head turned to the cash register as he tapped away on it , his dark green eyes darting up once to meet her coffee colored eyes . he held a expressionless face , but his eyes were sharp and ready to attack .

Kaycee immediately picked up on the barista's sharp tone, to which she only raised her eyebrows ever-so slightly. Nonetheless, she didn't say anything about it, figuring his job couldn't be less exciting. "I'll take a regular back coffee to go." No please, no friendly smile. She didn't bother, not only because this boy seemed on edge but also because she was not in a pleasant mood after thinking about that girl that Kaycee had agreed to work with over the summer. Kaycee shifted to her right slightly as she focused on watching all of the workers try and fill their orders. They all looked frazzled and in a daze, but not the counter one. He just seemed, snappy. Like if someone tried anything funny right then, he most likely would go ballistic. And what Kaycee would give to see that performance. He was pretty boy who knew he was pretty and that just got under KC's skin. When the drink was set down on the counter for her, Kaycee slapped down a twenty-dollar bill. "Keep the change," she said quietly, but in no way was it kind. It was more of a hurried thanks, without actually saying it. KC left the line to go stand off to the side where there were a few tables and people sipping at coffee. Kaycee stood there with a hand in her pocket, just letting steam rise from the cup. She took a small sip and wince at the bitterness of it, but knew that it would wake her up and give her the energy she would so desperately need later. KC glanced at her watch again and groaned, her posture slipping ever so slightly. Her back became subtly more arched and her head was now aimed more towards the ground. Her lips formed a scowl and she drank another small sip and the bitterness didn't hit as strongly as it did the first time.

Kaycee left the coffee shop moments later with her coffee in hand. The library wasn't far and KC found herself dragging her feet. Today for some reason, the dread of stepping foot back in that library was the strongest it had ever been. Yet KC knew it would eventually end up fine. KC stood outside library doors, finishing her coffee and then tossing it out in the trashcan that sat near the library. Kaycee was able to muster some strength as the buzz of the black coffee kicked in, and she strode Into the library, doing her best to hold her head high. She returned to the quiet area and began unpacking, waiting for the girl to arrive. And that she did. Today, her hair was blue and she are a sickening happy face, obviously faked. She slapped down her notebook ad science textbook and chirped, "Hi again, Miss. Kaycee! I remembered to do everything this time." KC saw right through the act but stayed silent, going to look at the girl's work. At the top of the page was her name, Jordy. Kaycee had forgotten the name, which she mentally slapped herself for. The work was overall pretty good, but as KC looked closely, the handwriting was off. Letting out an exasperated sigh, KC looked at her student with an eyebrow raised. "Care to explain this?" Jordy shrugged and batted her eyes innocently. "Explain what?" Kaycee huffed and just admitted defeat. She didn't want to deal with this today. So Kaycee opened the science textbook and began to explain the chapter which was an introduction to chemistry, starting with the periodic table. Jordy just sat there, unamused and barely listening. For the next forty-five minutes, KC did her best to try and teach everything but Jordy didn't say anything. As the teen left, Kaycee watched her go, the thirty dollars balled up in Kaycee's hands. How was she ever going to do this? Kaycee stuffed everything back into the book bag and sat there at the table, just pondering how Jordy possibly worked.

Jack listened to her sharp words but didn't say anything , his brow was raised in a challenging way , as he slammed his hand down on the bill, and stuffed it in the cash register . he called to Eddie, his sharp tone making him jump," regular black coffee. and pick up the pace this time string bean . " lifting a brow in slight surprise , he mumbled sarcastically as she took her drink," your're welcome . . . " his gaze only remained on her for a few seconds before he returned his focus on the next customer . it was a curvy blonde , who had too much make up on , and was wearing a t-shirt that revealed a bit too much cleavage . he could tell she was checking him out by the way her blue eyes ran up and down him , as if she were doing it with her hands . getting fed up , he offered his most fake smile," what can i get you ? " the blonde smiled , and batted her eyelashes running her fingers over to his side of the counter ," how about a hot cup of tall, dark, and handso- . . " Jack cut her off abruptly," look , i don't know what kind of person you think i am , but there are people waiting behind you . order or leave . " he glared at her , making her eyes go from soft and flirty , to coldness . she began to pout , her bottom lip jutting out . his glare hardened , letting her know he wasn't interested . he watched her walk out the door , face expressionless . Eddie popped up next to him ," boy I wish girls just walked up to me like that . you're so lucky . " Jack rolled his eyes at the comment ," get back to work . "

after serving a few more customer's and putting up with Eddie's clumsiness , Jack checked the clock , then he gladly threw his apron back on the rack , and switched it out for his jacket . he swung the backdoor open and let it slam behind him , not bothering to properly close it . he began to walk along the sidewalk , noticing that there were more people walking around . he got a few more looks from a group of girls , and even one from a guy . far too used to it , he ignored them all , and swung by a nearby deli . he picked up a sandwich and a Coke , slapping a five dollar bill on the counter and leaving . he made his way to the beach passing by the library . he glanced through the window , then glanced again . he slowed , registering the face that sat at the table . it simply was the girl from earlier . assuming she was the type of person who liked to read , he continued his way down to the beach , jogging down the steps . he jumped down onto the soft sand , and walked to the worn out picnic table that lay far from the water's edge . he sat down and ate the sandwich . he raised a brow once or twice at a couple girls in bikinis , but he never said anything , as he was simply wasn't in the mood to flirt . just to admire . he sipped at his bubbly Coke , looking at the people passing by , then watching the waves retract , then come washing in again , a pattern he had watched ever since he could remember .

Kaycee's frustration had calmed down a bit, but Jordy still preoccupied her mind. Was she going to get someone to do the work for her? Most likely. How was she going to get through to such a bratty teen? Kaycee could barely survive this one forty-five session and there were about seven more. KC was obviously doing something wrong. If she were a real teacher, how would they handle a kid like this? Well for starters, Kaycee knew that a class generally had more people so the kid would be ignored half the class unless they were making a ruckus or something. So Kaycee knew that wasn't an option. Disciplining could work, but it could also backfire. Jordy could get even more rebellious on the spot, Kaycee wouldn't put it past her. These thoughts continued piling up in her mind as she exited the library and walked down to a small italian restaurant that was on the water. She figured she could splurge a little bit, considering what she had had to endure. Kaycee was lead to a table for two and handed a menu. After looking at the menu for a bit, KC decided on a sweet iced tea and pasta carbonara which was a classic favorite of hers. When the waiter came to order, she was grateful for the fake peppyness that he gave because Kaycee needed that and more.

The food arrived and Kaycee dug into the large plate of pasta. She savored all the flavors, trying to make them last. After lunch, she had another half-hour break and then one last kid to tutor, then was free for the rest of the day. This kid, she thought his name was Henry was adorable. But the thing was, he oftenly beat himself up way too hard about mistakes. Though Kaycee knew it shouldn't make her angry, it did. She was worried for him, but sometimes she thought she was a bit overly worried. KC munched the last bit of pasta before letting the waiter come and give her the check. Kaycee paid the thirty-something dollars and then scooted on her way, going to see if there was some sort of bookstore she could use. If she was lucky, there would be a book about chemistry for beginners. As soon as Kaycee found a small bookstore, called 'The Bulberry Patch,' she strode in and immediately went to the beginner's learning books. She found a few books on chem, but none of them seemed the right pace for Jordy. There was one last book under that category and when Kaycee looked through it, she was slightly impressed. There could be some material in here that wouldn't completely lose Jordy's focus. KC went to the cash register to buy it, and then left the store with the book in hand. KC glanced at her watch, she had about twenty more minutes until she had to head back up to the library. Kaycee hung out by the doors of the book store, confident that she looked pretty shady. But the young woman didn't care, she had to read through the chemistry book so that for next week, she had something for Jordy.

Jack finished his Coke , then walked back up the steps . he threw the can and wrapper in the trash , and stepped onto the sidewalk . he decided to head home , turning down his street . he took the spare key out from under the creepy ceramic frog that was nestled in his mom's garden . he unlocked the door , then put the key back . he headed up to his room and messed around a bit , throwing a tennis ball against his wall for thirty minutes , then browsing on his computer for another thirty .

he jogged downstairs to heat some leftovers up . he reached in the fridge and grabbed last night's meatloaf . after popping it on the micromave , he ate it , then glanced at the clock . it was almost 6:00 , the time of day when he really did most of what he did . finishing the makeshift dinner , he threw the dishes in the sink , and headed out again . he kept going down his street , checking up on Jake and Vincent . Jake's house seemed deserted , so he didn't bother wasting his time ringing the doorbell . Vincent had the biggest house out of all of the guys in the group , as his parents were on the more wealthy side . seeing his dad's car in the driveway , he rang the doorbell , a fancy ring following it . a minute later his dad showed up at the door . Vincent's dad , who's name was Richard , which he hated , so i called him Mr. Brown , was pretty much an older version of Vincent , and every time Jack saw him , he instantly recognized the resemblance . he lifted his hand in a little wave an almost innocent smile creeping along his face , " Hey Mr. Brown . is Vincent home ? " Mr. Brown , as usual , frowned at him . Jack was his least favorite out of Vincent's friends . he quickly retracted his waving hand , and shoved both hands in his jacket pockets . Mr. Brown shook his head , " Vincent is grounded right now . he won't be seeing you boys for another couple of days . " Jack simply took it well , knowing Mr. Brown didn't take sass . He said his goodbyes , then turned as Mr. Brown slammed the door closed . Vincent's voice rang up from his bedroom window . Jack grinned , then whipped around to see his friend . Vincent was the largest out of all of them , the most muscle in the group , as he was well built , and was perfect for scaring off anyone that gave them a hard time . he was definitely a jock , as he played for the football team . he always was the one doing stupid stuff , and getting in trouble the most . he had dirty blonde hair that always seemed to be in a perfect mess that all the ladies loved . his face had a lot of sharp edges . everybody in the group was good looking except for Jake . Jack waved at Vincent , " hey man , how much longer are you gonna be up there ? " Vincent flashed a goofy smile , his thick and stocky voice booming out from his window ," hey Jack . they said they were gonna keep me up here for a few more days , but i figured i could break out before then . " he shook his head , knowing his friend would do anything in his will to sneak out , but wasn't always successful . he smiled up at him , " let me know when you're home free . " after exchanging a few more words , Vincent had to leave because his dad was coming up to his room . wishing him luck , Jack quickly jogged down the street , knowing his father checked outside Vincent's window a bit too often . seeing Jake and his family still weren't home , Jack headed down towards the beach again , not seeing where he was going , he checked his phone to see if anyone texted him . before he could look up in time , he smacked right into the brunette from earlier , sending him off balance . he caught himself with his arms before falling completely , but he quickly bounced back , a little annoyed and frustrated . he looked up and instantly recognized her from the coffee shop earlier , noting her sharpness from earlier this morning . his eyes darted to the girl , seeing what she had to say , his eyes in glaring position .
