Tough as Girls (The Outsiders Spin Off)

Chapter Six:

Elizabeth- 

“That was uhmm, interesting.” Bertha stated. I nodded. That was a strange dance. I can honestly say my date has never gotten kicked out of a dance before because he was beating a kid up. 

I heard something smash into one of those metal trash cans. I jumped. “What was that?” 

“Just us, babe.“ One of the guys, Regina’s thing sleazed. Regina was right there with him, her arm dangling around his. She was grinning that wicked grin of hers. 

“Leave us alone.” Loud mouth Lottie snapped. As much as it pained me to admit it, the girl had some major guts. 

“Shut your filthy mouth, Lottie. We are in charge here.” Regina responded, rolling her eyes. Lottie was obviously going to say some smart ass remark, but then she saw Bertha. Sweet Bertha was utterly terrified. You could see it in her eyes. 

“What do you even want?” I asked. Couldn’t they just leave us alone? We didn’t do anything to them. Well, Lottie might have. 

“Well, y’all kinda got my boyfriend get kicked out.” Regina flipped her some of her hair out of her face. 

“We did not! It was your damn boyfriend’s fault. For us, it was self defense.” Lottie said, glaring at Regina. 

“I bet. Your brother and your boyfriend, right? They started. You three had nothing to do with it.” We actually didn’t have anything to do with it. Lottie knew it too. She just opened her mouth and shut it again, which was probably a good thing. 

“Marcus agrees with me that you all are somehow the cause of all the problems in this town. Indirectly or not.” Regina gave us her signature smirk. I assume Marcus was the leader

“Oh my god,” Lottie dramatically gasped, “I had no clue you knew all those big words.” I stifled a smile. Regina just started at her about to say something, but Lottie kept going.

“Listen up, you bitchy broad. We didn’t do anything to you. Leave us alone and we will  be on our way.” 

Regina raised her hand, about ready to smack her, as soon as she got close enough to Lottie’s face, she dropped it though.

“Kill them, for all I care.” Regina said. I gulped. 

“You got a big mouth, kid.” Marcus said, holding a switchblade up. Her brown eyes widened with fear now. She didn’t say anything though.

Wait he was actually going to hurt her? 

“Leave her alone.” Bertha shoved him out of the way. We aren’t going down, without a fighting chance. A different boy grabbed her. I jumped on him, ready to clay his face off. 

“Stop.” Someone muttered. I barely heard it, so I choice to ignore it completely. 

BAM! Something rang out. I instantly cover my ears. My eyes darted to the place the sound was coming from. The Marcus Kid. I felt my head go light headed. This wasn’t good. 

“What up with the heater, Marky? Were you packing this whole time?” Regina asked him. I nearly forgot she was there. She was just watching it all. She reminded me of one of those 1930s mob leaders. 

“I’m always packing, baby.” He gave her a strange look, like he couldn’t believe she didn’t know that. Packing, I am going to assume means having the gun on you. Remind me, to ask Soda, If I survive this. 

Regina grabbed the gun from him, he didn’t object. She threw it to the side. 

“We are just suppose to scare them, not actually hurt them!” She yelled at him, as if she was completely oblivious to the fact that we were listening. As usual, the whole world revolves around her.
