I was putting my textbooks in my bag and shut the door to my locker, I turned to my right and saw my best friend, Ponyboy leaning on the locker next to mine. "Hey y/n, wanna hangout with the gang later?" he asked politely. "Yeah, I'd love to! What time?" I asked. "How about 5?" he responded, "Yeah. Sounds good!" I say back. At around 4:55 I leave the house, thankfully my house is only a few houses away from the Curtis'. I knock on the door and Pony answered. "Hey Y/N, we're about to go to the drive in, Soda's just finding his shoes, come on inside!" Pony said while motioning to come inside, my heart fluttered. "Why am I feeling like this.. Do I.. No! I couldn't!" I thought to myself. Two bit sat on the floor along with Dally, Johnny and Steve watching mickey mouse on the television. "Soda hurry up!" Darry yelled, "I'm trying!" he yelled back, I laughed a little. Finally after another minute Sodapop found his shoes and we all left the house to go to the dingo. Once we got there, we snuck under the fence. We never really paid for our tickets, I was the last one to go under the fence but while I was going down I started coughing, I put my mouth into my elbow. I wasn't trying to get anyone sick, you know? When I pulled away from my elbow there were petals on the ground, "Weird.." I thought to myself.. The movie was over, I decided I was gonna stay out a little longer, my older siblings wouldn't mind, it just meant they would have more peace and quiet in the house. They were also part of the gang its just they didn't wanna come hangout today. I headed to the lot, staring up at the night sky, connecting the constellations and admiring its beauty, when suddenly I started coughing, but this time there were more petals. It hurt my throat real bad, I decided the next day to go to the doctors, but that was for the next day. I continued stargazing when I heard someone- no, not someone. People. I heard multiple peoples footsteps, I wasn't bothered to look but I felt uneasy, I shot up and saw a soc gang, "Shit, I gotta get outta here.." I whispered under my breath but it was too late. They already saw me. "Oh look, some nasty grease." a soc exclaimed, I recognized him, he was about 2 years older than me. "What do you want soc" I spat. "For you to get out of here." he said sternly "Soc, you're in greaser territory. I'd watch your back if I was you" I said, trying to look tuff so they wouldn't jump me, but that didn't work. The socs jumped me and I was on the ground, I didn't bring any type of weapon or blade with me cause I didn't think I'd be staying out, I regretted that. I tried to fight back but it didn't work, I was short, tiny and frail while the socs were tall, big and muscular. The last thing I remember was a soc stomping on my stomach and me coughing out more petals before I blacked out.
