"You'll soon find out why people are named after storms"

"Cassie, hurry ya hole!" I hear Steve yell as I chuck on my old skool vans
My hair was left out in its natural wavy state and I was wearing a guns n roses shirt with black skinny jeans and a tad bit of makeup
I roll my eyes and walk downstairs and punch Steve in the shoulder "shut ya hole" I say causing Soda to chuckle
Surprisingly, Dallas was sitting on the couch with his eyes glued to the television and puffing on a cancer stick
"Surprised you ain't at Bucks" I say pouring a glass of chocolate milk "Suprised you ain't dating pepsi-cola yet" he chuckles taking another drag at his cigarette and I clench my jaw
"See ya later, loser" I walk out the door and get in the back of Sodas truck soon enough Steve and Soda get in too
He does the same as any other day and drop me off. I walk into the school gates leaning against my locker next to Sarah
"What's up?" She turns to face me I was just about to tell her the story of Dally when we catch a glimpse of two teens snogging each other across the hall
Usually I'd just carry on with life, but this was different. It was Sandy.
She spots us staring and takes her tongue out of the boys throat and pushes him aside, wiping her lips
"Hey, blue bell" she walks towards us with a cheeky smile.
Sandy was a tall, dirty blonde. She was a greaser but could easily pass as a soc with her looks, she'd never dress or act like one of us. Her cheeks were rosey red and always had a coat of lip gloss on. Her short hair tied back into a high pony tail and a basic fringe, and like any other social girl she wore long bright skirts shin length and tidy collared shirts.
I had no idea why she classed herself as a greaser - probably because that's what Soda would ever date, or was aloud to anyway
"It's Cassandra" I say, my voice drenched in anger
"Aw, what's wrong pancakes?" She puts her hands in her knees and crouches to meet my eye level
"Does Soda know your snogging other guys?" I cross my arms and stare her In the face
"No, just like he doesn't know that instead going to Colorado I was in bed with another guy" she pouts her face and I clench my fists
"You can go ahead and tell him if you want, he won't believe you anyway. He loves me too much" my face softened, I knew she was right, soda loved her to bits and I had no idea why, all she did was two-time him
Sarah grabs my arm and gently tugs at me "yeah, you better go with your little friend before you miss class" she smiles and shoos us
"You watch your mouth, barbie" I snap and she chuckles indicating she isn't threatened and I take a step closer to her meeting her dead in the eye
Pony sees us and grabs my arm yanking me away before I do something stupid
"Cassie, what the hell were you thinking?" He asks while walking to class with me
I roll my eyes "she was giving another guy a tongue bath" and I punch a locker making my hand red and giving it a shock of pain
Pony shakes his head "You gotta tell him, Cass" he starts "He's gonna get hurt.. both of you" he comforts
"Are you kidding me? Last time I told him she was cheating on me he didn't talk to me for weeks because he thought I was jealous" pony knew this, soda hated it when I'd ramble about Sandy, which is why I barely talked about her with him
I take a seat in biology, pony sitting next me. Pony was in most of my classes, even though I was older than him he was pretty damn smart and was put up my year

After class we went for lunch and sat at our table when I notice Johnny wasn't with us
"Where's Johnny?" I ask forrowing my eyebrows at Ponyboy and he just sighs and I immediately knew
Damn I hated his folks, sometimes when they got tipsy enough they'd beat Johnny so bad he'd barely be able to walk, let alone come to school. Which I'm guessing happened then
The rest of the day was plain and went on with any other day. I had told Soda not to pick me up today since I had promised Johnny I'd spend some time with him, but I guess that didn't turn out
I walk home with Pony, talking about his crush Cherry Valance. Cherry wasn't too bad, she was sweet most the time and always looked out for pony, but I always had a nudge for her, probably because she was a Soc
Pony and I walk past Johnny's house when he could literally hear skin being beaten with objects
I couldn't take it and I barge in as if my life depended on it, I see Johnny lying on the floor with his face in his hands shaken to death and his father holding a baseball bat
I manage to shove him out of the way and pick up Johnny bridal style and rush back out
We settle down at the lot and I rest him down on a couch, Johnny's eyes struggling to stay open and I gently kiss his forehead but he winces since his head was bruised.
I examine his face and he had a large gash from his temple to his chin, blood streaming out of it like a waterfall
I rip a piece of my shirt and spit on it then wrapping it around the wound
I pick him up the same way I did before and walk him back to the Curtis' house
