Hi, this is Rebecca. This story is about the book and movie The Outsiders. I'm not really good at talking the way they do so just bare with me please! I DO NOT own any of the character except myself, Savannah, Sue and Jessica! Rate and comment ,please!

"Great!" I mumbled as my mom and I pulled up to our 'new' house.

"Mom, were in the middle of the hood." I said.

"Rebecca, it's not that bad, plus this is all we could afford." my mom stated sadly.

"Ya, I know. I'm sorry!"

We got out of the car and I immediately saw about six guys staring at me. We went into the house to started to clean and unpack. It was getting real late and we were no where near done unpacking the U-Haul truck. Two of the six boys I had seen earlier in the day, plus an older one came over to help. Little did I know that soon these people would be my best friends and as close as family.

"Uh, do you guys need help?" the older one asked.

"Uh…" My mom said unsure.

"Oh. I'm Darry, this is Sodapop, and that is Ponyboy. Were your neighbors." he said the names in order from oldest to youngest.

"Yeah, guys thanks." my mom said grateful for the help.

I just rolled my eyes and kept unpacking. By the time we finished it was really late.

"Thanks a lot guys," my mom said. "Oh, by the way, I'm Sue and this is Rebecca."

My mom shook all of their hands and I just stood there.

"Don't be rude Rebecca. These boys just helped us."

"Sorry." I mumbled and shook their hands. The middle one, Sodapop, was really cute, but to old for me by at least..3 years or so.

"It's fine," he said. "I'm sure this wasn't exactly the first place she wanted to move."

"Still, with all you cute boys runnin' around her I'm surprised she doesn't like it!"

"MOOMMMMM" I said and ran into the house embarrassed.

I heard chuckling from the two older boys, but when I looked out the window, Ponyboy was just smiling.

"Sorry 'bout Becca guys," my mom started. "She's just really stressed out, and I'm sure she's just gonna have a blast in school tomorrow!"

"Why?" Darry asked tryin' to make small talk.

"Well, she's only 14 and she's' in 9th grade. Plus she's in a new school and taking advanced classes."

"Oh, well I'm sure Pony is in all her classes, 'cause my little brother's smart," Sodapop said giving Pony a severe nuggie. "Isn't that right Ponyboy?"

Ponyboy blushed but said, "I'd be happy to show her around and stuff."

"Thanks Ponyboy. I'm sure she'll appreciate it!"

The boys walked back over to their house and my mom walked in to ours.

"Mom, how could you do that?"

"Relax, Becca. You know it's true anyhow."

"Well, yeah, but still."

We ate a quick dinner and I went to sleep. I woke up at first light, so I got in the shower, got ready, and went outside to sit on the porch. I still had like 2 hours before school started. I had been sitting on the porch for ten minutes when Ponyboy walked over.
