"You wanna ride with me today?" I asked Ponyboy. "Yes please," He said. "Here, take these," Darry said, handing us each a roll and carton of chocolate milk. "Thanks Dar," I said. "You need a ride Soda?" I asked. "Yes please," Soda said. "Let's go, see you later Darrel," I said and went to the car. "Shot gun!" Ponyboy said.

I laughed as we all climbed into the car. "Steve goin' today?" Soda asked. "Probably," I shrugged. "I have first period with him so he better,"

I pulled up to the dx and Sodapop kissed my
cheek. "Thanks little lady, see you guys later," He said and got out of the car. "You ready?" I asked Ponyboy. He nodded. I grabbed his hand. "I know the socs are being assholes but we've got each other alright?" I said. "Thanks Mackenzie," He said. When we pulled up to the school, we both stared for a second.

"We got this," I said. We walked through the front doors and went towards Ponyboy's locker. "Hey look it's Dallas Winston's whore!" I looked over and a soc named Mark had yelled at me.

I rolled my eyes and faced Ponyboy. "Ignore him," He said. "Yeah," I said. "Hey kiddo," Steve said. "Thank god," I said. "I didn't wanna face the socs alone," I added. "Never," he said. "They really have sticks up their asses lately don't they?"

I nodded. "Doesn't help that rumors spread like wild fire around here, me and Dal being back together has pissed everybody off," I said. "It's none of their business," He said. "You can date whoever the hell you want," He reassured. "Oh I intend too, I just can't believe I was one of them," I said. "You ain't a soc, never have been," He said. "Plus, even if you were, you'd be the nicest and prettiest," Ponyboy said.

"Thanks Pone," I smiled. "Don't tell Dallas I said that," He said. I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Already cheating on Winston?" A soc asked. I looked over and frowned at who it was. Other than Randy, Bob's best friend Isaac. He was always sweet, included me when Bob wouldn't.

"Couldn't graduate with the rest of your class then
Isaac?" I asked. He rolled his eyes. "It wasn't my fault," He said. "Never," I giggled and turned away.

"Hey," He said, grabbing my shoulder. "Watch it," Steve said, shoving his hand away from me. "We've been talkin and the socs ain't very happy," Isaac said. "About?" I asked. "You, Bob too," He said. "May I ask what the issue is?" I asked. "For starters, you let your boyfriend kick your brothers ass, then turned into a greaser, and now your brothers been defendin' ya," He said.

"What would you like from me then?" I asked. "We're calling a rumble, spread the word, and especially let Winston know," He said.

He winked and slapped my ass before walking away. Steve went to go after him but I grabbed him. "It's ok," I said. "Dally will kick his ass during the rumble,"

"Prick," Steve spat. "Let's go, we're gonna be late to class," I said.

"Hey doll," Dally said, walking into my room. "Hey," I said. "Did Steve talk to you?" I asked. "Nah about what?" He asked. "Isaac, my brothers friend the soc, called a rumble," I said. "I told Darry and he said he'd spread the word,"

"Okay," He said. "One more thing," I said. He sat down and waited for me to finish.

"Isaac kind of....smacked my ass today," I said. "He what?" He asked. "Yeah," I said. "I'll kill him," He said, standing up. "Dal you know the rules," I said, grabbing his hand. He sighed with frustration and looked at me. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah," I said. "It's not that big of a deal I just didn't want you to think I was hiding it from you,"

"It is a big deal, that's assault," He said. "I know I just don't wanna bother anybody," I said. "You aren't, alright? I can assure that," He said.

He sat back down next to me and kissed me. "If he touches you again, I don't care about the rules, I'll rip him apart," He said. I nodded. "Why do they wanna have a rumble anyway?" He asked. "It's because of me," I said. "What?" He asked. "They're mad that I'm like a greaser now, that I'm dating you, they've been giving me and Ponyboy a hard time at school," I said. "God I hate them," He said. "I'll kick their asses and they'll never bother you again,"

I leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Thank you," I said. "What have they been saying?" He asked, leaning against the headboard of my bed. "A lot of stuff," I shrugged.

"Like?" He asked. "Nothing that matters," I said. "Come on doll, I wanna be able to help," He said. "They've been calling her your whore," Ponyboy said from the doorway. We both looked over. "Sorry, I wasn't eavesdropping," He added. "What else?" Dally asked. "A slut, traitor, whore," I said. "Lots of stuff," Ponyboy said. "Nothing true," Dally said.

He leaned close to my ear. "Unless we're alone," He whispered, barely audible. I tried to hide the blush that appeared on my cheeks.

"Well now I'm gonna kick their asses even more," Dally said. "And if they ever bother you again you both tell me alright?" He asked. We both nodded. "Did you need somethin' Pone?" I asked. "Was gonna see if you wanted to get food," He said. "But you're with Dal so don't worry about it,"

"Oh don't be silly, let's go, we can get Johnny and Liv too," I said standing up. "Come on kiddo,"
