The Winston sister

54

Skye's POV

"If any of your girls mess with these two," Darry pointed toward me and Brooke, "there'll be a rumble, but it's your broads against ours. Fair fight." Darry towered over Bob, "just letting you know," I wondered if everyone felt intimidated by him. I did and he wasn't even talking to me!

We left the drive in after the movie. I had to laugh...Brooke was sandwiched in between me and Ponyboy. I had my head resting on her shoulder and she had arm wrapped around mine and she had her head on Pony's shoulder. We'd been pretty much inseparable since Dally said we could hang out again.

Later that night, after we got home, Darry took off our bandages to see put more peroxide on them. He was worried about them getting infected...I, personally think that he is being a little too over protective. They looked gross though.

Brooke and I stayed the night again. I think we were both a little worried about Dal changing his mind so we were spending every moment together we could.

The next morning, Two-Bit dropped everyone off at school, "you coming in today?"

"Just until lunch," he threw his arm over me, "gotta make sure my wittle sissy is gonna be ok." I just glared daggers at him. I hate when he acts like I'm 2.

I got my books from my locker and headed down the hall to history class. Some of the cheerleaders walked past, shooting me dirty looks, but not saying anything. Bob must have relayed Darry's message to them.

After class, I stopped by the bathroom, I wanted a quick smoke. I opened the door and was met with SKYE MATTHEWS AND BROOKE WINSTON ARE THE NASTIEST SLUTS IN TULSA!! Underneath were little messages saying all sorts of horrible things...most of them sexual in nature.

I felt hot tears well up in my eyes. I stumbled out of the door and ran to find Brooke. She was just coming out of math. I grabbed her arm without saying a word and drug her to the bathroom. Her eyes widened. Neither of us knew what to say. She tried to scrub it off, but it had been written in permanent marker. We backed out of the bathroom and ran down to the bleachers.

Brooke's POV
After that night, they next day went in like usual, Twobit dropped everyone off at school.

"You coming in?" Skye asked Twobit as we all got out.

"Just til lunch" he threw his arm around Skye. I smiled at them, I wished Dal would be more effective with me. But then again, he's Dallas.

I walked the school halls as we all went to different classes. I kept getting daggers and glares form socs, the usual. I guess the word has spread to them from Bob, that it'll be 'broads against broads' next time.

As I'm sitting in class, a piece of a paper was thrown at my back. I halted back at whoever threw it as I picked it up and read 'Piece of trash'

I glared at the soc girl who threw it before throwing it back in her face and flipping her the bird. I needed a smoke.

"I needa go piss" I muttered to the teacher, not caring if she didn't hear, as I walked out of class. Just as I did, a teary Skye grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bathroom.

My eyes widen when I saw what was written
SKYE MATTHEWS AND BROOKE WINSTON ARE THE NASTIEST SLUTS IN TULSA!! I read, along with nasty sexual insults beneath.

I looked at Skye who was silently crying, I was so to as well. But Winston's are tuff. I shook my head as I pulled my sleeve up and attempted to wipe it off. It didn't work. It was permanent.

Skye and I both backed out of the bathroom as we headed out to the bleachers. I let some tears slip.

We sat down below the bleachers as we sat their, silent tears running down. Neither of us knew what to say. Just then, Steve came over to us.

"Good you guys are here!" He sat down beside us. Just as he was about to continued, he noticed us crying. "Hey..what's wrong?" He lit an arm around Skye.

"Nothing" Skye sniffled and wiped her tears "just those girls again. They wrote horrible things about us, Steve, now everyone will know" she said, more tears filling her eyes. I felt the same.

Steve sighed and looked down "it's in the boys bathroom to" he said. Skye and I both looked and each other with defeat.

Steve's POV

I left class to go bleed the lizard.  I opened the door and immediately felt my anger rise.  The Socs had written awful things about Skye and Brooke.  I did what I needed to do and ran down to the bleachers, knowing that was kind of hang out spot, "oh good, I found you.  What's wrong?"

I sat down next to Skye.  This is the first time I had seen either girl look so...broken.  I put my arm around Skye, "hate to tell ya, but it's in the boy's bathroom too."  Skye and Brooke both started sobbing...I didn't know someone could cry so hard without making a sound.  "Hey, they fucked up.  Let's go back to Soda's.  We'll figure it out."
