*Kyrie's POV*

"Kyrie! Get over here!", My older brother, Dallas called. Dallas and I are greasers. Around here, you're either a greaser or a soc. My name is Kyrie and I'm fourteen years old. I love reading and writing. I'm tough for a girl, but don't like to hurt anyone, unless I have to. I'm some what a loner, the only two people I can really talk to is Dally and my best friend, Ponyboy. Honestly, a year ago, a soc named Bob tried to rape me. I never told anyone, except for Pony. A week after the incident, Bob and some other socs ganged up on Pony and our friend, Johnny, killed Bob. The two went to Dally and Dally sent them to some barn until the cops forgot about them. I visited them all the time with Dally. One time, the barn caught on fire and some kids were trapped inside. Ponyboy and Johnny helped getting them out, when Johnny got burned really bad. He nearly died.

"What do you want now, Dallas?", I asked making my way to him.

"I was gonna see if you wanted to ride over to the Curtis house with me, but with that attitude you ain't going any where.", Dally joked. I made a puppy dog face and Dally shook his head 'no'.

"Awe, come on Dallas. I'm sorry.", I apologized.

"Get in the car.", Dallas replied. Excitedly, I ran and jumped into the car. I get so excited to go over there. I can see my best friend...and crush. Yes, I said crush. I've had one on him forever. I would've done told him, but he likes Cherry. Last time I checked, my hair was brown.

"What 'you and Pony gonna do today? Let me guess, discuss about Gone With the Wind for the billionth time?", Dally asked me. I looked over at him and smiled.

"Oh hush, Dallas. Gone With the Wind happens to be a really good book if you ever took the time to read it.", I answered with some sassiness in my voice. Dally laughed and I propped my feet up on the dash. Five minutes later, we pulled into Pony's drive way. Darry wasn't home since he had to work all the time. Soda Pop and Steve were standing on the porch.

"Hey, Soda. Where's Pony and Johnny?", I asked. He pointed inside and I walked in, leaving Dally, Soda, and Steve outside to talk. I walked in the living room, no sign of them. Then, it hit me, Pony's room. So, I barged in.

"Hey, party's here!", Johnny yelled. I smiled an looked over at Pony who put his book on the floor and got up to approach me.

"What? You ain't gonna give your best friend a hug?", he asked. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck. He returned the favor by picking me up and squeezing me to death.

"Ok, Pony, I can't breathe.", I said in a weird voice. He laughed and put me down. Behind him was Johnny getting ready to give me a hug.

"You know Pony can't be the only one to get some love.", Johnny said.

"That is true. Hold on, I forgot to hug Soda and Steve!", I sarcastically said, while opening the door when Johnny grabbed my arm and gave me the puppy dog face. I smiled, shut the door, and hugged him.

"So, what's up?", I asked. Pony shrugged while reading deeply in his book. Johnny noticed Ponyboy and rolled his eyes.

"Nothing much, waiting on you to get here, maybe head over to the park. We haven't been in a while.", Johnny suggested. I looked up at Pony who was looking at me. I had a look of "Please no". I was scared to go there. That's where I almost got raped, where Pony got beat up, and where Johnny killed Bob.

"Johnny, man, you sure about that?", Pony asked.

"Yeah, man, we got to face our fears. Go back over there.", Johnny answered. I sighed a loud, dreadful sigh. Pony got up and walked up beside me. He threw his arm around my shoulder.

"Hey, Ky, it's gonna be fine. You got me and Johnny.", he whispered in my ear so Johnny couldn't hear. After all, Johnny didn't know.
