The Outsiders (Jess's story)

Tulsa, OK

**A few days later**

I was walking down the streets of Tulsa when I heard a car rolling slowly behind me. I didn't think anything of it until one of the boys in the car yelled at me.

"Hey baby! What are you doing walking into the greaser side of town?!" I guess ignorance is everywhere. "Come on baby! Your a soc! Come with us!"

"I don't know what the hell your talking about, but you best leave me alone before I cut your tires and then your throat!" I yelled back pulling out my switchblade.

"Well well well. Don't you have a pretty mouth on you. I guess you got that black eye because if it." One of the other boys replied.

"Why don't you find someone else to bother!" I was getting pissed. I kept walking back to the house I'd bought four days ago. It was cheap and small. Just what I needed. I started to run. I almost got all the way there when the car pulled in front of me.

"Hon, I'm telling you that you don't want to say no to us." They started getting out of the car. I could smell the alcohol on their breath.

"Just leave me alone, ok?" I was beginning to panic. They circled me until someone from the outside shouted at them.

"HEY! WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE HER ALONE! SHE'S ONE OF US!" Came from a guy with brown greased back hair and a brown jacket. He looked tough holding a switchblade.

"Well. Nice to see you again Dallas. But uh, I don't think she's one of you. Though she talks like it... She isn't anything like you." He turned to me "isn't that right babe?"

"I believe I am." I pulled out my blade and waved it at him. He backed away with fear in his eyes. "Now get in the car with all your little monkeys and drive away. Or I'll cut your eyes out." Once I said that they all piled in the car.

"You'll regret this greaser! I promise you!" Was all I heard before the sped off.

"Hey. My name is Dallas Winston." The guy who practically saved my life said as he held out his hand. "Nice blade by the way"

"Well thanks. My names Jessica Summers. I just moved in the house down the street."

"Well I know that. It's two doors down from my buddy Pony's house. They said something about you moving in. Just didn't know your name" he responded with a wink. "You should come hangout with us."

"Well... Uh... I guess I could." Nervous as all get out I walked next to him to Pony's.
