The Switchblade (rough draft)

This is a prequel to The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. It's from Johnny's point of view, instead of Ponyboy, and isn't pertinent that you read The Outsiders (but you definitely should if you can!)
My school produces a magazine called Reflections, which is made up of only student work. Art work, essays, short stories, poems, or photos. My English teacher required us to submit either a short story, poem, or essay, and this is the short story I wrote for the magazine.
But here's the thing about it: I really want it to turn out good, and I'm not sure that I did very well... So, whether or not you've read The Outsiders, please give me your opinion on this story! If you don't want to comment, feel free to send me a private message with your feedback
