Little Miss Winston

Chapter 6: Prove Myself

It was 9:30, the drag race was starting soon, I had just enough time to change my outfit! I decided on ripped light blue jeans, a pink t shirt, and a leather jacket. I left my apartment, hopped onto my pink motorcycle, and headed towards the edge of town. "Hey greaser girl!" The Soc I had talked with earlier yelled. "Listen, I said "I have a name." "Which is..." "Lela." I said shaking his hand. "Ha, your pretty friendly for being my enemy." He said smirking. "Yup, and what's your name?" I asked. "Bryan." He said. "Alright, Bryan let's drag race!" I yelled and started my engine. Cherry Valance came into the middle of the road and took of her scarf. "On your mark, get set...GO!" She yelled waving her scarf. I started my engine and slammed my bike into Bryan's, almost popping his tire. "Watch it Greaser!" He yelled. "Okay, watch me win!" I yelled back and sped up my bike, came to a squealing turn in front of the Dingo and started back towards the finish line. "Whoo hoo!" I giggled and slammed on my breaks at the finish line. "Lela?!" I heard 7 people yelled. I took my helmet off and brushed my hair out of my face. "Hey!" I said. "What the hell are you doing here?!" Darry yelled running up to me, the whole gang at his heels. "Proving myself." I said smiling. "Lela, what do mean?" Soda asked running his fingers through his hair. "I want y'all to be proud of me." I explained. "Lela...we already are proud of you, because your a lot tougher than you know, it's takes more power to smile than to frown." Soda said hugging me tightly. I had to smile at that. "See y'all later." I said and started my engine as I rode away. "Swing by our house?!" PonyBoy asked. "Sure, meet you there!" I answered.  And started off towards my second home.
