The Tulsa Cinderella story
I was 14 when my parents passed away. The thing is though I could never stop crying. I am not usually this much of a softie, but I can't help it I loved my parents. Now I am probably going to end up in a girl's home. Then my stepmom walked in and said, Cindy I will make a deal with you. You can come live with me and my family, but you have to follow by my rules no exceptions. I quickly agreed because I did not want to be sent to a girl's home. I quickly realized though that was a huge mistake.
That was two years ago I am about to turn 16 tomorrow. I am a greaser. My step sisters however are Socs. I hate them with as much hatred as my buddy Dallas Winston hates the world. I forgot to mention I am friends with him. We met the day my parents died. I was in the hospital praying for my parents to be alive. He was sitting in the chair across from me he looked like a hood, but he looked really upset like he was going to punch one of the nurses. I chuckled to myself at the thought of one of the nurses getting punched at. He said to me, "What the hell are you laughing at". I told him "nothing". I asked him, "What you are here for". He told me, "That his buddy Johnny died". Then we stated talking until he had to leave because he was threatening to punch one of the nurses. He asked me "what my name was" and I told him it is Cindy. He told me his name is Dallas. He is like an older brother to me the one I never had. He will do anything to protect me. I am practically part of the gang now they all treat me very nicely because I am the only girl. Anyways I am turning 16 tomorrow, and other girls would be excited to turn 16. I however am not thrilled it is just another birthday for my stepsisters to ruin and my stepmother to treat me like crap. When it is my 18th birthday then I will be excited because I can move out and live my own life.
I woke up the morning of my birthday and my stepsisters had me make them chocolate chip pancakes. While I had nothing except a banana because I was going to be late for school and I needed to pick up Ponyboy, and Two bit. They get to stay home longer because they have a car, and they never give me a ride. So we walk to school. I arrived at the Curtis home, walked up the first step. As soon as the gang heard I was there. They all trampled on me giving me a group hug, even Dally gave me a hug. Then Darry told us to head off to school, but before I left Sodapop stopped me and gave me a big birthday hug
