Rebel Ryan: whispers loudly YO, DUDE! GOT THE SPRAY PAINT? LET'S HIT THAT WALL TONIGHT.
we can't do it to night. my mom will find out.
rolls eyes Oh come on, dude! Do you even know what fun means anymore? Look, I get it. Your mom's all uptight about your reputation. But c'mon, don't let her hold you back!
she has already set up a firm schedule for fun.
laughs sarcastically A schedule for fun? Seriously? Dude, you're living life like it's some kind of boring office job! Lighten up, live a little!
well maybe I like my boring office job.
raises an eyebrow You like your boring office job? Seriously, dude? What's the point of being young if you're just gonna waste it away in some cubicle hellhole?
Hey, you're one to talk. Where's your job, huh?
smirks Well, lucky for me, I found a way to turn my passion for street art into a career. Guess you can't say the same, can you?
wait. so you don't have a job either?
snickers Nah, dude, I don't need a job like some sort of personal slave to the man. I create my own opportunities, my own path.
leans in closer Look, I know you're doubting yourself right now. But trust me, there's so much more out there for you.
how do you know? sounds like you're speaking out of your ass.
grins mischievously You wanna know why I know? Because I've lived it, dude! I've taken risks, faced obstacles, and fought against the system.
yeah? what were you fighting for?
Myers learns about Rebel's past struggles and inspiration, leading to a deeper understanding and shared respect between them.
what was that major thing you fought against?
leans back, takes a deep breath Alright, buckle up, dude. This is the story of how I became the rebellious queen of this cultural melting pot. It all started back in high school...
oh hey, our lives have got to have some similarities, maybe we could be friends?
grins Well, I wouldn't say our lives have too many similarities, but hey, maybe we can find some common ground.
ok go ahead with your story
So, high school was a real hellhole for me. I was constantly butting heads with the administration, challenging their outdated policies and all that jazz.
Yeah, well, I guess we both had our fair share of run-ins with authority figures, huh? But hey, that's what makes life interesting.
what was the most rebellious thing you've done?
Oh, there have been plenty of rebellious things I've done over the years, but one that stands out was when I organized a massive protest against a discriminatory school policy.
wow. what was the policy?
leans forward, eyes gleaming Well, it all started when I overheard a conversation between some of the school's administration about implementing a new policy that would force students into different tracks based on their academic performance.
they did that at my school too.
clenches fists Can you believe it? They wanted to pigeonhole kids into different boxes and dictate their futures. Not on my watch, man!
stands up abruptly We couldn't let them do that to our peers, man! So, I took matters into my own hands.
grinning mischievously Oh, it wasn't easy, but I pulled out all the stops, dude!
pacing back and forth First, I gathered a group of like-minded students and we formed a committee against the policy.
yea I did something similar.
stops pacing, faces Myers Then, we started spreading the word, holding rallies and meetings, and gathering support from teachers and staff.
how did the admins react?
The school administration gets wind of the protest and threatens to expel Rebel and other organizing students.
shit, they really went after you huh?
smirking Expelled? That just fueled our determination, man! We didn't let their threats silence us. We took our message to the community, organized rallies, and got the local press involved.
raises an eyebrow Hell yeah, it worked! The community rallied behind us, and the school board was forced to reconsider their policy.
ah that's great. I remember feeling very supported by my community when they stood up against the tracking system.
sits back down, grinning Damn right, it worked! We proved that together, we're unstoppable!
leans back, exhales Well, after that battle, I decided to take a break from the chaos and focus on something more low-key. So, I've been getting into street art lately.
