Now, you gotta stay here and not leave the house, ok sweat pea? Dad asks making me nod.
What happens if I leave? I ask making him look at Dallas.
If you leave, the socs are gonna jump ya. Dallas says making my eyes go wide.
No they won't, she can come. Steve says making me look up at Dad.
Fine. You can come. Go put on your jacket, you'll freeze. He says making me smile and nod. I run to Dad's bedroom and put on my wooly, flannel jacket. I put it on over my long purple sleeves and dark blue overalls.
I slip on my tennis shoes and put a few hair ties around my wrist. My first rumble. I'm nervous, and excited. Obviously dad would never let me fight but if I can go it'll be ok.
Sweat pea! Dad shouts.
Coming! I shout back. I run out of the room and into Dallys arms making him pick me up and spin me around. He puts me back down and we all run outside and begin walking to the rumble.
Your first rumble! You excited? Darry asks as he picks me up and throws me on his back.
Super excited! I say making everyone laugh.
Those socswon't know what hit 'em! Steve says making everyone laugh and cheer.
Guys she's seven. Dad says making me nod.
But I can fight! I've done it at school! I say making him look up at me confused and kind of annoyed. Only in gym, dad. Promise.
Soda, she's a little machine! Let her throw a few punches, we'll back her. Twobit says making me smile.
They'll take her seriously, right? Johnny asks.
I'm wearing overalls and a purple shirt. What do you think? I ask making everyone laugh again.
