Nina Verro was waiting for the moment she would die. Her fathers constant torture was sure to be her inevitable demise..... until she moved to Tulsa Oklahoma meeting a certain gang that taught her sitting around wilting and wasting her time wasn't l...

Nina wakes up peacefully in her bed happy to not be dragged from it once again. She gets up and makes sure to get dressed as fast as she can get being careful not to pull on her backs healing skin. She wears a simple pair of light blue jeans with a black long sleeve that's tucked in. She wears her converse and after lacing them up rushes down stairs to begin cooking breakfast. As she's cooking she can hear her father enter so she turns around placing the food on his plate. He looks to her with a blank face before eating as if it was the worst thing he'd ever eaten. He always made faces like these, saying her food was nothing more then tolerable. As soon as he finished he left leaving his dirty plate there to be taken care of like he knew it would be.
Nina quickly washed the dishes to save herself some time later when she'd get home from hanging out with the gang. She almost missed the bus as she had been sweeping the entire house to get that done as well. As she stepped on the bus she got less stares as her being new was wearing off. She felt this weird new emotion similar to joy, she finally felt like she had somewhat of a normal life. Pulling up to school she was one of the first out of the bus as her eyes scanned the lot for Two-bit and Ponyboy. Both leaning on Two bits car that Soda managed to patch up after Nina had left.
"Nina long time no see." Two bit cackles at his own joke as Ponyboy shakes his head with a ghost of a smile. "Darry wants me to tell you just because he comes home late today doesn't mean you get to cook." Ponyboy says making her slowly nod knowing she'd yet again have to socially interact with other boys. It's not that she didn't like them she just wasn't quite comfortable with all of them yet. "That's alright, maybe I'll bring something over this weekend." Nina says in thought as the boys look excited about something. "There's a rumble tomorrow night. Can't wait to knock some of them Soc's around." Two bit says as they walk past a group of the Soc's earning dirty looks.
"What's a rumble?" Nina asks and the boys ecstatically tell her about the fight, more Two bit then Ponyboy since he was too young to participate. "You wanna come watch?" Two bit asks as Ponyboy looks intrigued too, apparently that's all he got to take part in. "Um- maybe depends if my dad is home." She says it casually but it's easy to see that both boys grew tense and nodded stiffly. "Well we better get going. We have our favorite class together." Two bit says chuckling as he puts an arm around Nina shoulders leading her to the classroom they despised most.
As soon as they walked in they could feel the beady eyes of the teacher burning into them. He was ready to catch them cheating..... at least that's what he believed. Nina and Two bit could tell he was eyeing them especially as he passed the test out on their desks. He was certain that they were flipping it over early and discussing it lowly while he passed the rest out. To his surprise they didn't touch the tests and just talked aimlessly about the rules of a 'rumble'. He had no clue what that was and he didn't care as he watched from the front of the class.
