"So, even when I was a Soc, I was still a Greaser at heart?"
"Basically"
Dakota is Bob's little sister. She has grown up to hate Greasers. Her brother would jump them right in front of her. Him and her parents told her lies about Greasers so she thought they were bad people. Her parents made her fear Greasers. Until one day, she gets in a fight with Bob because of his reckless behavior. They used to be very close but not anymore. Bob tells her parents her biggest secret, that she is a dropout.
So now, Dakota, whose social status has just fallen, is alone on the streets, and a perfect target for Greasers to get their revenge, is found by a gang that doesn't want to hurt her. They take her in, even though she is afraid at first.
Now, she is living the Greaser life and she falls in love with the life and laugh of the gang.
What will Bob do? What will her parents do? What will her old friends do? Most importantly, what will she do?
Madeline Craft. 19. College freshman. Ex-greaser, or so she thought.
When she gets a custody call that her two siblings were seemingly abandoned in their Tulsa home, there's no option: she has to go back. It wasn't ideal, but her little brothers, four-year-old twins Jack and Graham, they needed her more than she needed college. Besides, college would always be there if she could ever go back.
But on a cold day, back at her high school job working at The Dingo, she meets someone that makes anything poor become great.
