Loving a Greaser

Part 1

 It was a cold summer night and I was taking a walk around the town. It was not very special since I had just moved here. I sat down in the park reading the book that I had brought: "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis". It is by far my favorite book just because of all the fantasy. I laid down on a bench and read the book for about 10 minutes. I slowly drifted my vision to the starry night sky. It was beautiful. I have never seen the stars that much before because I used to live in a smog-filled city. I loved that my parents decided to move to Tulsa. This town was different from the city. There was less trash in the streets, there were not any gangs that I knew of, and no people were roaming in the night. I have fallen in love with the golden sunsets and the sunrises. They looked like paintings with all the swirling colors and the clouds looked so pretty along with the pinks, yellows, oranges, and the hints of purples. I checked my watch and saw that it was already almost midnight. I panicked. I never had something like this happen. My parents hate me when I stay up too late. I quickly got up and began to speed walk to my house. It was cold by now and I did not have enough layers. My house is a couple of blocks away from the park so this is going to take a long walk. I got colder and tired so I slowed my pace. I heard a car engine and I kept on walking. I thought they would drive away but they didn't. I got worried about what might happen. I continued to walk but then they cut me off. I was frozen. I couldn't run from them because I was too cold and if I tried to run I would end up tearing some of my muscles. Four guys got out of the Mustang. " Hey girly!" One of them said, " What are you doing out so late?" Another said. "I-I- leave me alone." I said stuttering. "We're not going to hurt you, at least not yet," the third one said. " How about you go to my place and we can have some fun." the leader said. He signaled two of the guys to grab me. I tried to move but it was too late, they had grabbed me. I began to scream at the top of my lungs. I didn't want to go with them. I was screaming and screaming until they let go of me. I fell to the ground. I saw them running off. I turned around to see some guys coming towards me. Some of them ran after the guys while three of them stayed behind to help me. The boys who were trying to abduct me ran into their car and drove away. " Are you okay?" One said. " I-i'm fine," I said scared that they would hurt me. Another guy held his hand out to help me get up. I took it and got up. "Hey-um thanks for helping me," I said shyly. " No problem." He said. He was a brunette, had some grey eyes, and had rusty-colored sideburns. He had a Mickey Mouse shirt on and a black leather jacket. He was about four or five inches taller than me about six feet, maybe. "Why would you help me anyways? after all I am just a girl that no one cares about," I asked. "Well you were screaming so Jhonny here said that we should help you," He said pointing at a boy that looked like he was about fourteen or sixteen. He had black eyes, dark skin, and some greasy black hair. He looked adorable, especially with those eyes. "Well thanks, Jhonny for making them help me," I said with a smile on my face. " We haven't seen you around before, are you new to town?" Another boy said. "Yeah my parents and I moved here just a couple of days ago," I said. "Okay, Well we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Ponyboy." He said. "I'm Two-bit and you have already met Johnny," he said. The other boys came over. "Hey, you ok Girl" One said. "Yeah, I'm fine since y'all saved me," I said chuckling a bit. "Well we were just introducing ourselves to her since she's new to town," Two-bit said. "Well I'm Dally, this is Sodapop, Steve, and Darry," he said while pointing to the others. "Well it's nice to meet you all, also again thanks for saving me from them. Who were those guys anyway?" I said. "Those were just some Socs," Soda said. "What's a 'Soc'," I asked. " They are just the spoiled rich kids that live on the west side of town," Dally said. "And they hate people like us Greasers," Steve said. "Oh well, what made them hate you guys?" I said questionably. "Well, We have no clue why they hate us," Ponyboy said. "Hey what's your name? I don't think you told us yet," Johnny asked. "Oh sorry, my name is Sophia, Sophia Grace, but you can call me Sophie," I said. " You have a beautiful name, Sophia," Dally said. "Why thank you, Dally," I said cheerfully. He seemed like a nice guy. I checked my watch to see that it was already past midnight. "Oh I-i have to go or my parents are going kill me, see you guys sometime soon I hope," I said speed walking away to my house. " Goodbye Sophia" I heard one of them say. I couldn't make out who it was since they all have similar voices. It took about five minutes to get to my house since it was cold and I was wearing a skirt. Once I got to the door, I was afraid of what might happen. I was trying to bulk up enough courage to go inside which I did. I took a deep breath in and opened the door. While I walked inside, I saw Dad and Mom were both sitting in the living room watching something on the television. They both looked up when the door shut. Why did the door have to shut that loud? "Where the hell have you been!" My dad yelled." I was reading my book in the park and I lost track of time." I said. I saw some beer bottles near his chair. " Well, you could have told us you were going out at least!" He yelled again. "Well if you guys were good parents you would let me go out to at least to make some friends." I said yelling back at him. Dad got closer to me and slapped me across the face. "Don't you ever yell at me!" Dad yelled. I fell to the ground crying. Mom didn't even help me. Mom and dad never cared about me ever since my sister died. I didn't even need dad to tell me to go to my room. I ran there as fast as I could and locked the door after me. I sat on my bed crying. Why did they treat me like this? Ever since my little sister died they have been like this. They even think it is my fault that she died in a fire but it wasn't. I tried to get her out but the firemen didn't let me. I cried myself to sleep that night. I wish I was never out so late.
