The day The Shiv learned to drive...
It was summer type weather and a small crew was hanging outside The Shiv's house. The Shiv's mother decided it would be funny to joke around and pretend The Shiv was going to drive Smiley and Galley Sister N to the dollar store, just down the road. The car was turned on while Shiv sat in the driver's seat, Galley Sister N in the back and Smiley in the passenger's side. The Shiv, who was not of legal driving age, ((then again who cares how old you are when you start driving)) and had never driven before, shifted the car into drive. All of a sudden Shiv slammed on the gas instead of the break and drove straight into the garage and garbage cans in front of the van. The van needed a lot of money for repairs and the garbage can is still broken to this day.

The Gun's Last Memory...
This happened over break 2015. Lemon and I were both going into our freshman year in high school at torture prison (Only kidding). We didn't have any classes together, except zero period, which is pretty much free time. In my Western Civ. class there was this one girl who was always late. A few weeks before spring break we were doing a project and me and the girl were assigned together. She told me about DGC, (Her name was Smiley!) and how they were having a party at a non-member's house over break. I decided to go along with my friend, Lemon. Everything was great until the final hours of the party. It seemed like everyone was either completely wasted, or tipsy, and nobody was in shape to take anyone else home. Smiley though, was brave and everyone looked up to her. Smiley was going to take The Gun home, since they were a (COOT) couple. Smiley was really drunk though, and the car veered off the road, into a tree. The Gun, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the car. She was in the hospital three days before dying on August 26th, 2015, at fifteen years old. This was a tragic day for all of DGC, and we remember it well. None of us blame Smiley and we all know The Gun would want her to move on.
Rest In Peace, D.M.H. "The Gun". Born; 03-17-00 Died; 08-26-15

My Favorite DGC Party!
I remember it pretty well. It was during the summer at Calypso in the park. It was my first time ever meeting the whole crew and I know I was super nervous. Although there were only four or five of us there, it was cool. Smiley came up to me around 6:00 pm and introduced me to all of the Young Jumpers. I remember Trigger, The Gun, and The Twist were there, as well as Smiley, who is always with us. We hung out and drank out of shiny glass bottles. It was the most fun I had after my mother passed. The DGC gave/gives me new friends and something to keep her out of my head.

Why I joined the DGC...
I remember my first year of high school was pretty lonely.. I didn't have any friends because I had just moved here and I was pretty much a loner for the whole year. My Sophmore year I decided I wanted to make some friends and have a good time because I knew that someday I'd have to grow the f*ck up and get a life. I said 'hi' to everyone I saw in the hallways and eventually I got a little note in my locker. I still have it and I keep it to remind myself that life can change. It says "I saw you in the hallway a while ago and you said hello to me and my friends. I've noticed you don't really talk to anyone so I thought, maybe you'd like to join us?" It also said to meet at Calypso that night and I went there by myself. We had a little grill there and we sat around it cooking food. It was a lot of fun for me, especially after a whole year without knowing anybody. At first I was scared to make friends because I didn't know who was the 'popular kids' and who were the ones I actually wanted to hang out with. Now I have so many friends, more than I can count... Thanks guys..

LEAVING DGC :(
That day was hard for me and my sister.. The day our mother told us we were moving. We had to leave behind everything. School, friends, and DGC. It was so difficult to think about life without them because they had brought us so many good memories. The parties and all the other stuff too. DGC may seem scary at first but it's just like having a group of friends that will do anything to help you out. I loved all the times with DGC, and I know my sister did too. We'll miss them as much as they missed us.
