Chapter 2.2 Meeting The Gang

Aaaa sorry about the lateness. I've been dealing with some mental health issues and school's started, but here's the second part! Hope you like it! also f/c is your favorite color, and f/s is your favorite song.

I roll out of bed the next morning at 5:45 am. It takes me a second to reorient myself and remember what happened. I should've planned better honestly. Seeing that nobody else is awake I quietly begin my morning routine. I step out of the bathroom and quickly get dressed. I decide to wear an (f/c) crop top, a brown leather jacket, some ripped jeans, and my old converse. Well, they were my brother's converse but, he didn't take them when he left 2 years ago.

I get my backpack ready and set it by the door, and head into the kitchen. Looking through the cabinets and refrigerator I find the ingredients for pancakes. Humming (f/s) I dance a little while cooking. I decide to make enough for the three brothers as well, like thanks for letting me sleep at their house, even though I was practically a stranger. I turn around to grab some plates when I see an amused Sodapop looking at me.

"Jesus, you half scared me to death!" I put a hand on my chest, trying to calm my heartbeat, before grabbing some plates.

"You know, for one of the toughest gals around, you sure do scare easily," he says with a smirk on his face. I glare at him.

"You keep talking like that if you want Flannel, but remember, I'm in the kitchen. That's where the knives are." He looks at me, a little scared before I start laughing. He seems to realize I'm joking and joins me.

I stop laughing and catch my breath, and turn back to the pancakes. "Hey since you're here could you get out like 4 plates," I ask him, not turning around.

Soda P.O.V.

Wow, she's nothing like I imagined. From the way Leo talks about her, she's nice when she wants to be, even if she is, or was a soc. But nearly everyone else, she's tuff, cold, and reckless. She reminds me a lot of Dally. But from what I've seen she's a mix. And she can be really goofy like Two-bit, but also dreamy-like Johnny and Pony. She's an interesting gal, that's for sure.

"Hey since you're here could you get out like 4 plates," she asks, startling me from my thoughts. Oh, I was staring. Hope she didn't notice. "Yeah sure thing." I set up the table and get the maple syrup. "Also Flannel really?" I ask, a little amused. She grins at me. "Yep, when I was in your closet, like nearly all of your shirts were flannel. Like c'mon man." I blush slightly, and before I can respond Darry walks down.

Y/N P.O.V.

I continue with the pancakes and set them down on the plates Soda got out. Then I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and look up to see a tired Darry. "Hey there Darry! You're just in time actually, I made pancakes!" He looks up a little surprised, then smiles. "Well thanks Y/N. Pony should be down soon too by the way." I nod and the older brothers sit down. Not even a minute later Pony walks down. "Heya Pony, I made pancakes," I turn to Darry. "Thanks for letting me stay here by the way. And uh I'll come back after school for my stuff." Darry nods, and Pony starts talking. "Man, Y/N these pancakes are great!" I smile at him before digging in.

Over breakfast, I learn that since their parents died, Darry had to take over, and he had even dropped out of college. And they had this gang of 7 people, including them, and they were practically like brothers. Soon the clock hit 6:30. "Ah I have to head to school now guys." Pony looks at me confused. "But school starts at eight?" I nod. "Yeah, but I tutor kids, and they pay me so I get there earlier." He nods in understanding. "Alright see you boys later then," I say as I grab my bag and head out.

Right as I get to their gate I hear someone say my name. "Y/N!" I turn around to see Sodapop walking towards me. "What is it Flannel?" I think I see a small flash of pink on his cheeks, but it passes quickly. "It's still pretty dark out, are you good walking alone?" Okay, that's actually kind of sweet. "I'll be fine Soda, I mean you did say I was one of the toughest gals around huh?" He grins and pats my shoulder.

It took me a while to find my way to school from Curtis's house, but I made it five minutes before my first session.

--Time skip brought to you by Dally's leather jacket--

Exhausted by the day I had at school, I trudge back to Curtis's house. First, I got caught skipping, then I got a 70 on a pop quiz. And to top it off, one of the kids I tutored broke my old switchblade. Groaning I continue walking. As I head towards the Curtis house, I see 3 men behind me, stumbling like they were drunk. One of them walked up to me, and I could smell the booze on his breath. "Heya, pretty lady, where you *hic* going all alone?"

I don't feel like fighting so I just continued walking on. Apparently, this made him mad. He grabbed my arm, his stinking breath filling up my nostrils. "It'd do you good to respond when I ask you a question, you stupid broad." Anger from today started boiling, and with this, it was about to overflow. Okay, c'mon deep breaths. "Ha, trying to be tuff huh girlie? Well lemme tell you, there ain't no need! I could give you a great time."

I feel my hands twitch, itching to do something. Then in the background, his friends start laughing, and this spurs him on. He slaps my butt, and I'm sent over the edge. My fist collides with his nose, and he stares at me in shock, blood dripping from his nose. A flash of rage crosses his face and he lunges at me, but I duck and sidestep him. Now I have access to his side so I kick him and he goes down like a stone in water.

Then his friends start coming at me. I just grin and crack my knuckles. These drunk idiots have no chance. I quickly hit the guy who fell in the head, effectively knocking him out. Then one of the others pulls out a switchblade. I'm about to grab mine but I remember it's broken. Goddammit.
Sighing, I moved out of the way and he ends up tripping over the knocked-out one. Did.... did he pass out?? The last guy walks towards me. 

He pulls back his right hand and I get ready to doge. Instead, he punches with his left hand and it collides with my jaw. I groan and roll my jaw. "Son of a bitch," I snarl. Quickly I slide behind him and kick the back of his knee, and when he drops I quickly knock him out. I trace my lip with my thumb and feel some blood. 

Then I see the switchblade one of them dropped. Grinning I swipe the guy's switchblade and continue walking to the Curtis house. Somehow I fail to notice the two guys watching me from behind the trees.

When I arrive at their house I see the front door is already open so I don't bother to knock. "OI BOOKWORM ARE YOU HOME," I yell as I walk into the house. I don't expect to see 7 boys sitting there, drinking beer, eating cake, and watching Mickey. So this must be the gang then. One of the boys wolf-whistled and winked at me. Ah great not again "Damn, you're a beautiful doll. Name's Dallas Winston, a pleasure to meet ya. Although I was thinking... You wanna head to my place later?" He asked.

I made a face and flipped him off. "Two things. One, I've already dealt with 3 guys who wanted to fuck me today, I don't mind beating up another. Two, I would sooner kiss my dad." Dallas Winston? I feel like that name is familiar

~~Flashback brought to you by Two-Bit's love for Mickey Mouse~~

The two five-year-olds run around laughing. The girl shoves him lightly, teasing him. "C'mon Texas you aren't going to let me beat you right?"
The boy grins and starts to run a little bit faster. "Oh, c'mon Y/N/N you know I always win."

~~end of flashback~~

I stare in shock for a moment then bust out laughing. Ponyboy looks concerned and asks if I'm okay. I just nod and say, "Damn Texas, didn't think I'd see you again!" He cocks his head and slightly glares at me. "My name ain't Texas... wait a fucking minute Y/N??!!" 

" 'Scuse me, I thought my name was Y/N/N?" Dallas gaped before joining me in laughter.
