Hey! So I've decided on doing another fic. This time its a sister fic. Normally I dont do fics with Oc's, but this time it seemed like a good idea so I've decided to try it.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Outsiders or any of the characters. Anyone you do not recognize from the book/movie is most likely mine.

"Do you think you can come this weekend?" My best friend Justin, said. I shook my head.

"Nope. I have this stupid project and Darry won't let me leave the house until it's done."

"oh, maybe later then." he said,sighing.

If you would of asked me six and a half months ago how close me and my brothers were, I would of said that they were there to torment me, and for hand me downs. I used to think my family was just there to annoy me, and yell at me. It was a weird thought, seeing as my family never yelled, or hit anyone.

But now, all four of us are really close. Or as close as we can possibly get. After both my parents died in a car crash about eight months ago, my oldest brother, Darrel,who we call Darry, gave up on going to college, and all his scholarships, so that he could raise us. It's pretty hard, seeing as there are four completely different people living in one house.

All through high school, Darry was like the jock on campus. He had it all. Friends,family,grades, and a few girlfriends. Its a shame he had to give it all up, well its a shame he wanted to give it up to raise us. He and Sodapop both, gave up education to help raise me and my other brother.

Soda wasn't exactly giving up because he had to, but Soda wanted to as well. School was never Soda's thing. He couldn't sit still, nor had the patiences to complete school. Soda was the one that could get high on living, and never needing alcohol. He was also very understanding, and understood every problem ever asked to him. Every problem,except things dealing with school. He found a job at the DX, and now he and Darry, can make enough for us to live off of. Well, enough for the necessities.

Ponyboy, was the youngest boy in our family. And he just happens to be my twin brother,and the older one of us(by only fifteen minutes). Pony is good at a lot, especially academic wise. He got to skip a grade and go to tenth grade, while I was left in ninth. A lot of people don't even know that Pony and me are twins. Its actually pretty hard to tell. Pony has reddish brown hair, while I have long blond hair, and Pony is slightly taller than me, and most say I could pass for Soda's twin, if I were older.

Not only do we not look alike, but personality wise, were different. Pony is shy, and quiet, while I am louder, and outgoing. While Pony would rather be at the movies, I'd rather be at a party. Pony makes A's and B's, I get C's.

We do have some qualities the same. We both like to read, and have bad habits with smoking. We both love Pepsi and we both are in love with chocolate cake. Tho, while Pony and Soda, love their unique names, I don't. It doesn't bother me, but I'd rather not be as unique as I am. Sometimes it's great. Other times,its not. With a name like Mistina Elizabeth,(but most call me Misty)and with my brother's unique names, it's easy to be picked out of the crowd.

" 'ey Mist? Ain't that Pony over there?" Justin asked me, pointing to a boy down the road.

Justin's been my best friend, and basically about my only friend, since kindergarten, if not, younger. He's tall, with sand colored hair,which is always long and messy,and never greased. He wasn't a soc,or a greaser. He was too poor to be middle class,but to rich to be a greaser. He had clothes like a soc(or at least tried to have socs clothes), but had a home like a greaser. And that's what I liked about him. He was different. And he was proud of it.

I nodded to Justin. "Who're those people?" He asked pointing to a bunch of guys, crowding around Pony.

"They're socs, stupid." Which means Pony's... "Justin!" I shouted, " Pony's getting jumped! We gotta help him!" Justin eyed at me like I was going insane.

Justin and Pony can't stand each other. They never could, and probably never will. Pony was just too smart, and Justin couldn't stand it. Pony didn't like Justin because, he would always try to "mess up the family." Mainly, by coming over, on important days, that were only for the family. Pony didn't like it when Justin would come over, when me and Pony were in a conversation about some book, or homework. The only reason they both pretend to tolerate each other, is because of me.

"Pony, you 'kay?" I asked pulling him to his feet, as Soda calmed him down a little, and as Darry started to get a bit annoyed with Pony.

"Don't you ever use your head? Walking home alone like that? Pony, you've could have been killed!"

"Darry, chill out. Pony's fine. It could've happened to anyone. Even you!" I gave a look to Darry, tho, I know he didn't believe me. Darry just told me to shut my mouth and that I should have been walking home with Pony, rather than with Justin. I wanted to argue back, but I knew better not to, so Pony just let it all out to Darry."She was coming home from School, while I was coming back from the movies. She had to stay after for something, and it ran late."

" Which was?" Darry questioned. He knew I didn't do any after school activities.

"Nothing." I lied, trying to avoid bitting my nails, a habit I always did when I was nervous, scared, or lying. Pony gave me a look, knowing where I was, and why I was there. I waited for him to tell Darry, but he didn't.

As we got to our house, I ran inside,about to go to my room, when Darry stopped me. "Not so fast, little missy. Didn't you get a progress report in math today?" Darry knew when my progress reports came out. I still didn't figure out how he knew, but he did.

I handed him the crumpled up piece of paper. It was hard to read some of the words, seeing as the paper was crunched up, and the fact that Justin doodled on it. Darry studied the pictures, before reading the actual grade. His eyes met with a picture of a gorilla,which Justin named after the teacher. He looked at me.

"That one ain't mine I swear."

"It better not be." Darry examined the paper some more. He glanced at a picture next to the gorilla with a picture of a knife cutting cheese. "Who cut the cheese? Misty! Thats just an inappropriate picture!" Darry then stopped looking at the pictures, and read the letter grade. " A D-? Misty! Five zeros? On homework?" Darry pointed to a chair " Sit." I sat.

"I want you to redo every homework assignment you didn't do. I want it done tonight, and I'm going to call your teacher, so he'll except your late papers. No leaving the house, until it's done."

"But I promised Justin!" I said, beginning to whine.

"Whatever it is he wants, can wait. 50 problems, If I were you I'd start now."

I pouted. I wasn't going to waist my Friday night doing homework. But I knew Darry wouldn't let me leave the table until it was all done. I was getting ready to do he easy way out when I heard Darry speak up, " And don't take the easy way out, by using the answers in the back of the book. I know when you do, and besides, I'm watching."

I scowled, doing the math homework, as Pony watched me. "The answer's one, not 50."

"Do I look like I care?"

"I was just say..."

"Do I look like I care?" I spat out, angry.

"Geez, All I was doing was trying to help. Anyways, Me, Johnny, and Dally are going to the double feature tonight. Wanna come?"

I shook my head. "Can't. I can't come until I finish my math, then I gotta do my english paper." I sighed. It's gonna be a long night.

I watched Ponyboy leave,wanting to go with him, but at the same time, I knew this night was going to be a night I could never forget. Maybe it was because it's the first night Dally's out of the cooler, or whatnot. All I knew is something was going to happen, I won't forget.
