The Sweetheart of Tulsa [The Outsiders Fanfic]
Twilight_Hime10
Valeria Deanna Rivera is twenty years old, fiercely independent, and ready to write a new chapter, far from the pressure of her first-generation immigrant roots in California. In the summer of 1965, she moved across the country to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and purchased a modest home across the street from the notoriously rowdy but tight-knit Curtis brothers.
She expected a quiet life, filled with books, driving with the windows down, and maybe a few dance nights downtown.
What she didn't expect?
A poetic teenager named Ponyboy, who secretly reads her stories and calls her his favorite author. A golden-haired charmer named Sodapop who flirts like it's his full-time job (and might mean every word). A new best friend in the tall, broad, and heartbreakingly loyal Darry Curtis, who knows how to make her laugh and keeps showing up when it matters most. A brooding troublemaker named Dallas Winston who seems to be everywhere she turns, especially at night, and might have a heart buried under all that leather and smoke.
And a house full of Greasers who adopt her as their own, but not without drama, secrets, and unexpected feelings stirring in the heat of the Oklahoma summer.
As Valeria tries to balance her past, her freedom, and her complicated heart, she finds herself tangled in the lives and arms of boys who were never taught to love gently... until now.
