Ava Winston lived with her alcoholic father in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. She didn't have anything extraordinary going on- just the usual greaser things, like avoiding socs and the police, or fighting other greasers. One night, after her dad kicked her out for the millionth time, Two-Bit Mathews stumbled upon on her while drunk at about 3 A.M. and convinced her to go to the Curtis' house. She had no idea that she would meet 7 lifelong friends and make some of the best- and worst- memories of her entire life. When her brother gets out of jail, he isn't happy to find her hanging out with all of his best friends. Especially not when he finds out that one of them likes Ava, and she may like them back. Follow Ava Winston trying to make it through everyday greaser life in Simply a Greaser. All characters besides characters made by myself belong to S.E Hinton.
