The Outsiders

Introduction

Hi my names May Micheals. I'm 14 years old, and live in Tulsa Oklahoma with my abusive dad. I used to live with my mom until she died of cancer three years ago. My dad destroyed everything I had from her except my copy of S.E. Hintons' The Outsiders, I have to hide it so he doesn't find out, if he did my beatings may get worse. My social life is kind of confusing. I'm not popular, but everyone knows exactly who I am.  I'm the kind of girl that if you saw me on the street and you didn't know me very well would think that I'm a no good, trouble maker, that's a bad influence on kids, and belongs in jail. I'm not gonna lie that's partially true, yes I am a trouble maker who happens to be a bad influence on everyone and has been thrown in jail once or twice, but if you knew me well and you knew my story things would be different. You would realize I'm a teenage girl who is insecure, does some shit that's not legal, reads, has basically no friends, just wants to be accepted and loved, is abused on a daily basis, and just needs her mom. No one around here really messes with me, only the biggest bitch on the planet, Kacey Parker along with her little bitch squad, and my dad. I can take my dad, I've had to before. Kacey is much harder to deal with, she has her friends with her and she gangs up on me, I mean ya one time I broke her nose, but she came alone. Kacey never stops, one day she's just gonna push me to far and I'm gonna give that bitch what's coming to her.
