       About a hour later Dal looked at me and stood up. "Hey me and Jesse are out." I got up and grabbed my bag. I look around the room as smiles "See you guys later." And follow Dally out the door.  "So were are we going now Dally?" I asked puting my jacket on. "We are going to this guy Buck's place. It's where I'm crashing." As we waked to Buck's place all I could think about was Ponyboy and him running to save me. This was far from normal for me. I don't get hooked up on guys and I definitely don't believe 'in love say first sight'. I can't be losing my edge because of some boy.
        We finally made it to Buck's place. It looked run down with loud music blaring and beer cans every were. We walked in and Dally headed straight for the set of pool tables and I followed close behind. "Hey Curly, Were is Tim?" Dally asked a kid with his brown curly hair slicked back with a leather jacket on. "He is in the back. Who's the broad?" Curly asked looking at me.  "That ain't no broad that's my little sister." Dally hissed give him a dirty look. He tured back to me "I'll be right back stay right here. And don't get in trouble. I mean it Jesse." I put my hands up in defense "I don't get in trouble what are you taking about?" Dally rolled his eyes at me and walked away.
        "Want a beer?" Curly asked looking at me up and down. It's bin a long time since I had a drink, and I definitely was in need of one after what happened today. "Why not. " I said with a fake smile. I would used a fake smile to get people get me things that I wanted. Curly walked to the bar and bought me a beer. He walked back over and handed me the beer "Thanks." I said with a flirty fake smile. Curly was not cute and definitely not my type but he was easy to wrap around my finger, this may come in handy in the future.
        As soon as I take a sip of the beer Dally came out of nowhere furious. "What the hell are you doing drinking? You're only 16." I almost spit the beer out and looked at Dal with an anger look "Back at home I drank all the time. Mom and dad don't care. And why are you make such a fuss about it? You were drinking at my age." He gave Curly a dirty look and looked back me trying to take the bottle out of my grasp. "Yeah well you're living with me now and I don't care if I was drinking at your age I still don't want you drinking. So give me the fucking beer Jesse." I chugged the rest of the beer and handed him the empty bottle smiling. "You're such a little shit. " Dally rolling his eyes and grabbing my arm. I looked back at Curly who was staring at me. I waved bye to him and winked at him  to make him think he has a chance.
        "Jesse our rooms are right here." Dally said as we walked upstairs and around the corner.  "This will be your room and mine is next to yours" Dally said pointing to an odd white door.  I nodded and walked in. I looked around at the room, there was wood flooring and a piece of wood blocking the window. The walls were covered in a hideous blue paint that was starting to peel off. The bed looked like it was found in a junk yard and the sheets looked as if  they haven't been washed since they were bought. There was a dark wood dresser  against the wall with a gross mirror that had on large crack running down the middle. The room was horrible but it was better than my living arrangements back in New York. I turned around to Dal who was standing in the door frame "So how do you like it?" Dally asked. I placed my bag on the bed and turned back to him "It looks like shit,but I've had worse." I said with a smirk. "Hahaha well night Jesse." Dally said as gave me a tight hug he walked out of the room and shutting the door.
       I thought to myself, I'm going to hate Soc as long as I live and I will get my revenge, I have too. I sigh and open my bag, I stare at all thing that I own and let me tell you it not impressive. I pull out my raggedy old tee shirts that I've had for as long as I remember and place them into a drawer in the dresser. I then pull out my jeans that are covered in holes and place them along side my shirts. I smile as I pull out my favorite item that I have, it an old tattered blue jean jacket that Dallas left behind. I place it down on the bed and pull out my bras, socks, and underwear and put them drawers as well. I place my only other pair of shoes and put the worn out brown boots and put them under the dresser. I pull out my final items and place them on the dresser, I pick up the old photograph of Dal and I as kids and smile and place on the mirror. I straighten the little things I have on the dresser and decide to get ready for bed. I take off my beaten down sneakers that are no longer white and place them along side my boots. I take off the dirty clothes I had on and threw on a long tee and crawled into the bed. I shut the light off and laid there wondering what's going to happen tomorrow.
      I  woke up with the sun shinning in through the cracks of the window. I lay there for a few minutes thinking what I was going to do today. I came up with the idea that I will go to Angela's and see how she's doing. I jumped out of bed and ran over to the dresser and laid out a few options to wear. I picked my blue jeans with my black tee shirt with Dal's jeans jacket. I walk over the the mirror. My hair seamed to be getting a little lighter. I brushed my long curly light brown hair, my hair reached down to the middle of my back. I throw my hair into pig tail braids and looked into the mirror one last time and headed out the bedroom door.
       I open my door and there was Dally standing outside my door , I thought he would still be sleeping "Hey kid I was just going to come and check up on you. How did you sleep?" . He pulled me into a hug and looked at my outfit. "Good" I said as I pulled away from the hug and headed down the stairs. "Where are you going? And isn't that my jacket?" Dally said with one eyebrow cocked. "I'm going over Angela's and yes it is you left it in New York so I took it" I said as I continued walking to the door. "Hey kid,do you even know where she lives?" Dally said following me out the door. I stopped and turned to him and batted my eyes at him "No but I was hoping you did and could show me." Dally rolls his eyes at me and crosses his arms "And why would I do that? The Shepherds aren't good company to keep and I don't want my sister hanging with them." I look at Dal with disbelief "But you're friends with them?" He shook his head at me. "That's business Jesse. I only do business with them. I'm not taking you there." I frown "Fine I'll find my own way there. Bye Dallas." I wave a him and start walking down the street. Dally stood and watched me from the porch.
        I knew where the Curtis's house was so I would go there and see if one of them walk me to Angela's. When I finally reached the house Steve, Soda, and Darry were leaving to go to work. I just strolled in like I owned the place. Two-bit was sitting on the floor whatching Mickey while eating a big slice of chocolate cake and drinking a beer. Ponyboy was in the kitchen doing the dishes, and Johnny was on the couch watching tv. "Hey guys" I said as I walked in.  "Dose anyone know how to get to Angela Shepherd's house?" I said as I sad down in the recliner. "I do, I'll show you after I finish the dishes. " Ponyboy said poking his head out of the kitchen. I smiles and thinking to myself that I'm going to be able to spend more time with him.
    A few minutes later he finally finished.  "You ready to go now?" Ponyboy said as he was standing at the door. "Yeah let's go" I got up and following him out the door. As we walked down the street we got talking and I had to contain my cool. He look over at me "Did you only come here because of Dally or was there another reason?" I looked over at him and pondered before I spoke "Yeah I come her for Dal but I also wanted to start over. I didn't like how things were going back home." He nodded his head "So how long do you think you're going to be here?"  I shrugged my shoulders "I'm not sure. Probably till I screw up again and Dally realizes I'm no good." He stays silent for a few moments than speaks again "You're his kid sister he would never think that. I can tell he truly cares about you." I chew on the in we part of my lip "But then why did he leave me the first time?" Ponyboy had no clue what to say and we walked the rest of the way in silence. There I go again saying to much and messing up. He's definitely not going to like me once he finds out about my past.
      Angela's house was not far from Pony's. Her house was run down, with white paint  chipping off the sides. Ponyboy walked in first and I followed "Hey Curly is Angela here? Jesse wants to see her. " as Ponyboy said my name Curly shot up and gave me a creepy look "Hey there Jesse, yeah she is up stairs in her room. She has a 'A' on her door." I headed up stairs and found the room with a 'A'.
     I knocked on the door not wanting  to barge in on her.  "Who the hell is it?" Angela screamed threw the door. "It's me, Jesse" I said with my hand on the door knob. "Oh come in" Her tone changed and I walked in. Her room looks like a disaster zone. Clothes were everywhere and shoes were piled in her closet. Her walls were pastel pink but the paint fades so it looked white. The small part of the floor was wasn't covered in clothes were wood. Her dresser was suppose to be white but it looks like it hasn't been clean. Her bed was huge, you could fit four people in it. But with the big bed there was no room to walk through the cluttered space. "How did you find where I live? Is Dallas here?" She said apply what I think is too much makeup. I made my way to her bed and sat down "No, I asked Ponyboy to walked me here". Angela turned around gave me a quick death glare than said  "Is he still here?"with a grin on her face. "Yeah I think so.." I said fidgeting with my jacket. "Good.." she paused and then smirked "I have a plan and you're going to help me."
