Peps POV

A few weeks into my new life, I have new clothes and have to go to school. "I'll drop you off there, don't talk to them." Bob says, I nod knowing who he is talking about. I grab my back pack full of expensive school supplies. So far nothing bad has happend, I've met Bobs sister, who thinks I'm a random girl. She's became a good friend, I think if she wasn't here Bob would have done things.

"Hey Penelope." Olivia says as she runs up to me, I was about to walk out the door towards Bob mustang, "you coming?" I ask she smiles and runs past me and jumps in passenger. I sigh and hop in the back as Bob starts the car, "no funny business." He says all seriousness looking at me in the mirror. "I'll be with her, you made sure we had all classes together, remember?" Olvia says annoyed. "Yeah, have fun." Bob says smiling.

As me and olvia walk in the school I feel most eyes on us, I'm new, Bob dyed and cut my hair, and I have  a whole new wardrobe. "We have social studies first." Liva says, Liva is short for Olivia. "Ok."

I didn't see anyone thourgh out the day, I was hoping to see Johnny or Pony but no sign of them. English was last, as I walk in the teacher makes me sit in the back. Once I sit down I see Johnny and Pony walk in. I look down at me desk and start to read a book. Pony had the seat beside me. "What's you name?" He asks looking at me, if Bob found out that I sat next to him I could never leave the house so I had to scare him away. "Stupid greaser." I say rolling my eyes and reading my book.

As son as the bell rang I stood up and left once I got in the hallway I recognized I left my bag, "meet me outside Liv." I call, she nods and keeps walking. I walk back in the classroom, I have my head down, I grab my bag and was about to leave when I hear, "Dally's in the slammer again, he's trying to get in for a year so then he'll feel pain just as Pep is." "Really, I hope she's ok." Pony says sadly, I walk out the door.

Once I find Bobs mustang I get in, "what took you so long?" Bob asks, "I had to get my back pack and then I had to find your car." I respond, he looks mad but starts to drive, "how was your first day of school?" He asks "good I guess, I haven't gone to school since I was 12 so it was weird." He nods, "where's Liv?" "She had to watch some boys, she's getting a ride home." "And your fine with her doing that?" I ask, I'm getting afraid of what might happen when we get home just the two of us. "No but I can't stop her." Bob says griping the steering wheel tighter.

Once we get home I go straight to me and Livs room, Johnny's face is so beautiful why did I have to get stuck here? I start doing my homework, because that's apparently what socs do.

Once I get in the car Bob gives me this smile, it's not scary it's just a smile. "Listen, I don't plan on hurting you, hopefully you will come to like me, but if not I won't hurt you. Randy says having you here will show you how all of us have issues, ours are just different." He finishes for some reason I don't believe him, "will I be allowed a phone call?" He thinks about this, "yes, one ever week." As soon as we get to his house we walk in, I was wondering what his parents might think, "Bob who is this lady?" His mom says, "a girl i kidnapped, I need some money to get her new clothes." He says, I must look confused but his parents say, "yes, was it us that's made you do this?" His dad says while getting money form his pockets, his mom starts to cry. Bob says nothing but brings me upstairs.

Present day
I somehow forgot I get a phone call a week, "can I use my phone call now?" I ask Bob looks at me, "fine, but you can't says anything about school." I nod and run to the phone. Ring "hello." I hear Darrys voice answer, "hi may I speak to Dally?" "Penelope!" He says shocked, "I don't have much time, but yes." I'm bursting with happiness to be able to hear his voice, "yes I'll go get him." Soon I hear Dally say, "Penelope?" "Dally don't talk because I don't have much time, you don't need to go to jail that dose nothing but make me sad. Ask soda if there's anywhere you could work. And when the state comes by tell them I ran away, they won't care enough to look into it." "Hey Penelope times up." Bob yells "I have to go, oh and tell Johnny to look close at the girls at school." "What did I says about mentioning school!" Bob yells as he slams the phone down, "well I know someone who has a crush on him, I want him to find her." I say, Bob looks ballistic.

Dally POV

Darry called me over saying it's Penelope, I run over, without her lately I've been lonely it's sad. She talks to me about not going to jail, how did she find that out? Then she mentions school and I recognized that she must be going to school, I hear Bob yell and then a click on the other line. "Who was that?" Johnny says as him and Pony came down stairs, "Penelope, she says for you to keep your eyes open." Johnny looks confused. "I always do." He says, "wanna see a movie?" Pony pipes in, "yeah sure." We find Rose and walk out the door.

I kept trying to watch the stuipd beach movie, but my mind floated over to Penelope. "Common Liv, can we please leave." I hear some broad say, "no let's sit in the chairs." Some other broad says, "fine, but we are not staying for the second movie." They sit in front of us, it's some brunette and a black haired girls.

Half way through the movie I get bored and start to pick on the girls, "so you guys ever tried hair grease?" I say getting up in between their seats, "yes I have." I hear the brunette say, I'm actually shocked she answered and has tried hair grease, "please don't make this night worse than it already is." She says and looks at me Johnny, Pony, and Rose. "Tonight's been fun." The other girl says giggling, she looks at Johnny and blushes, "you guys got any names?" I ask, the brunette seems scared she must know my reputation, I smile at the thought. "Yes I'm Olvia, but I go by Liv, she's..." all the sudden the other girl put her hand over Livs mouth, "I'm Rose." She says after hesitation, "that's my name." Rose says, "oh I guess we're name twins, Liv can we go now?" She asks, "scared are ya?" I say looking her dead in the eye.

"I could never be scared even if it's just a big teddy bear." I hear Johnny and Pony giggle, "you don't know who your talking to." "Oh yes I do, Dally Winston."  I smirk, "only friends call me Dally. Do I know you?" I swear it's the eyes, ive seen them before.

Peps POV

Liv managed to talk me in to going to the movies with her, she covered my face in makeup, I hardly even recognized my self. A little after we get there Dallas starts talking to me. Soon he asks if he knows me, I can't help myself, "I'm the girl you dream about." I say then turn back to the movie, I hear Liv whisper to me, "that Johnny the one I told you about." I frown knowing she likes Johnny, why'd you lie about your name?" She whispers confused, "that's Dallas Winston, the trouble maker, just make sure your brother doesn't find us or he'll rain down on you, me, and Dallas."

After awhile of watching the movie, Dally gets bored again. "I know you form somewhere." He says getting in my ear, I don't know weather to be happy he doesn't recognize me or sad. "Well I don't know, can we go Liv?" She sighs, "I have an idea, because my annoying friend here wants to go, how about one of you strong boys walk her over to get us all some popcorn?" "Yeah, I will." Dally says I shoot Liv a death glare. I stand up, "no thanks I'm going home." I say and start to walk towards the exit, "Bob will kill you if he find out you walked home alone." I say, Dally freezes up, "did you say Bob?" All I can think is no why did she open her mouth, "yeah he's our friend, now I better get going." I say and keep walking.

I know better than to leave so I somehow end up in the popcorn line, "hey hot stuff." Dally says making me jump, "you wanna come see my place, or maybe the Curtises house." At that moment I know he's testing me, I have to chose my next words wisely. "Who's Curtis?" I ask, he seems disappointed, "sorry I though you were someone else." Dally goes back to his seat, "how about you get me some popcorn, and I'll see you back at our seats." He smiles and jumps in line, I start toward our seats.

I find a pen and some paper, and write.
Dear Johnny,
My name is Liv and I was hopeful we could meet up at the dinner on 7 street tomorrow. I know you already have a girl but she wants you to move on, Pep told me herself. Yes I know about her, let's meet please. Go on a date with me.
Signed Liv.

I put it on Dally's seat, with Johnny's name on it, "let's go." I say Liv sighs, "bye Guys." We walk past Dally, on our way out I hear Johnny' say, "I guess I have a date tomorrow?" "With who?" Pony says, "that cute girl that sat in front of us." "Liv?" Then we were out of war shot.
