"WAKE UP IT'S A BIG DAY TODAY," Effie yelled and I woke up.

"IS IT NATIONAL BUTTER DAY?" I asked.

"NO STUPID, TODAY WE ARE TRAINING," she screamed.

"Can I bring my butter, my party hat and my rocks?" I asked.

"NO," she screamed back. I snuck it anyways. After I got ready, I followed Effie to the training room.

Effie left me there with Ponyboy. He went somewhere but I don't know where.

"Are you the 12 year old girl that greases her hair too much? Only grease guys grease their hair," a tall guy came up to me. Three other people followed him, a girl with long red hair, a guy with black hair and other girl with short brown hair.

"Actually I'm sixteen and I'm a guy," I corrected, "hi my name's Johnny, what's yours?"

"What the heck??" He replied, "I'm not trying make friends."

"Why not?" I asked.

"BECAUSE YOUR TO DUMB TO MAKE AN ALLY," he said and I ran off to cry.

I ran to a little platform with tall grass on it. 2 other kids were in it and making a fire, and they made a campfire. I threw a rock at it and the fire went out.

One came up to me and smacked me in the face. I ran off crying, again.

"What's wrong?" I heard Ponyboy ask.

"People slapped me," I answered.

"The careers?" He asked.

"Who dat?" I said.

"Those," he said and pointed to the group of people that were talking to me before.

"No but they called me a 12 year old girl and they also called me stupid," I said. I saw Ponyboy doing something to his hair.

"What are you doing to your hair??" I asked.

"Bleaching it to camouflage," he replied. I watched him do things and then he was sitting on the ground, waiting to dry it.

After the day was over, we went back to the building to go to sleep.
