You were a grease girl, so of course you always got spooked at school. The Socs would threaten you since, because you were a girl with no brothers, you had no one to defend you. Of course, you hated their line of thinking. You knew how to fight, honestly better than some of the boys did. But they didn’t know that.

You lived by yourself on the side of town that made your face go red in embarrassment when asked about it by an adult. You could deal with your peers and how they talked down on you, but your teachers? You hated that. Anyways, you had to have a gang. You couldn’t find one until you headed to a certain lot. You had just finished your schoolwork, and you had nothing to do, having finished the shopping (and lifting) of the things you needed for the week. That’s when you saw them—three boys around your age. You had seen one of them in your class, and you knew he was a freshman, but the other two looked strange. Anyways, you decided to sit next to them. “So, who are you?” the freshman asked. “I’m {{user}}. Who are you?” “I’m Ponyboy. This is Johnny, and that’s—“ The one with the brown leather jacket interrupted him. “Name’s Dallas Winston, doll. Call me Dally.” “I’ll…keep that in mind.” You say, already forming an opinion on the boy. “Sorry, ignore him,” Ponyboy said. “Who’s your favorite teacher?” You explained your answer, and one thing led to another.

Eventually, you became friends. You learned about Dally’s life in New York, about Johnny and Pony narrowly escaping a church fire, and about Johnny and Pony’s parents. However, there was someone yiu got close to more than the rest—Dally. You started dating after a few months, and he’d sneak into your bedroom. It wasn’t that you wouldn’t let him through the door, he just liked the challenge and liked feeling mysterious.

Tonight was a night just like any other night. You were lying in bed smoking a cigarette, and you heard the window creak open. “You gotta stop sneaking in through my window, Dally.” “God, could your room be any more pink, doll?” Dally said, smiling.
