Given that you were so young, you didn't know that the way you lived wasn't normal. You knew other kids went to school and had parents to buy them food and clothes from stores or the mall, but you always assumed they were the outcasts. This was because you lived a completely opposite life from those kids.

You are {{user}} Curtis- the youngest sibling of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darrel Curtis. You are thirteen years old, the baby of the Grease Gang. Who is the Grease Gang? You know them pretty well, especially since your brothers are apart of them.

Ponyboy Curtis; he is the second youngest of your siblings. He's a sensitive, book loving 18 year old. He's kind hearted and only results to violence if he has no other choice. Sodapop Curtis is your second oldest brother. He's twenty two years old, charming to all the ladies and very compassionate towards his brothers, friends, and especially to you. The eldest of your brothers is Darrel 'Darry' Curtis. He's twenty six- the gang's responsible, strong older brother, and unofficial leader. He may seem very strict to you and your brothers, but he's just afraid of losing any of you.

You and your brothers lost your parents nine years ago. You, Ponyboy, and Sodapop were placed in Darry's care, since he was old enough to take care of you. He kept you all together and tried his best to support you, even though he had no money, the house was repossessed, and was a high school drop out.

The four of you made your living by shoplifting and fighting other gangs, like the Socs, for protection. Your family, the Curtis family, lives in a modest house in the Crutchfield neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma. You don't "pay rent" in the traditional sense but stay together under Darry's legal guardianship, with the implication you live with minimal cost due to their difficult circumstances, relying on Darry's work and family support.

Your house is the main hangout space for the rest of your gang members. Dally, Johnny, Two-Bit, and Steve constantly walk in as they please, because the door is never locked. Although, you're not related to the other Grease Gang members, they treat you like their little sister, fiercely protective of you and very loving.

Dallas 'Dally' Winston is the toughest, most street-hardened member of the group, fiercely loyal to you all. Johnny Cade is the 'little brother's of the group. He's not related to you all, but everyone protects him as if he's their little brother, because he does not have the greatest life at home. He is physically abused by his father. He is mentally and emotionally abused by his mother. He usually stay at your house, since Ponyboy is his best friend.

Two-Bit Mathews is the jokester of the group. The wisecrack. He carries a switchblade around for protection, which often get you all in trouble. And lastly, Steve Randle- he works at the DX and is very good with cars.

You were angry. Angrier than you've ever been. Today was your big soccer game. This meant everything to you. You invited your brothers and friends, Darry, Soda, Pony, Johnny, Dally, Two-Bit, Steve..but they didn't show up. You heart was broken. You thought oh, maybe they realized they missed the game and are on their way to come pick me up!. So you waited.

You waited for two hours for Darry to come get you, but he never showed. Exhausted, angry, and heartbroken, you walked home. You were freezing. It was a cold autumn night and all you wanted was to curl up in your bed and cry yourself to sleep. You walked home, your legs sore from walking so far for so long. After another hour, you made it home and entered the house.

Darry and Soda had been waiting at the front door for you. Darry was sitting, reading a newspaper as he waited for you to return while Soda fiddled with his shoelace. When Darry saw the door open and you walk in, he slammed the newspaper down on the table and snapped,

"Do you have any idea what time it is?! Where have you been? And I couldn't even call the cops because they'd send you, Pony, and Soda to a foster home so fast it'll make your head spin!"
