First
Day of school is always the worst for new kids but I aint new. My
name is Katherine Anderson. Kathy or Kat for
short. I am sixteen years old I have dark brown curly hair that
is always in my face.
I can be shy around new people but once you
get to know me I am a very enthusiastic person. I am a greaser but
people don't see me as one people think I am a middle class but I
aint. My father is always gone so I mostly stay at the house alone.
My sister is living with my grandma because the state and my father
don't think I can take care of her. I don't like school a lot but
I have to go to make my father happy. I gazed at the school just
thinking about what the year is going to be like. I walked up the
stairs hoping this would be a better year than last year.
"Great
I got the worst teachers ever." I said to myself while looking at
my schedule.
I walked into Mr. Big Nose's classroom aka Mr.
Syme's class.
"Take a seat Ms. Anderson." He said to me. I
don't usually get along with people because they say I am too shy
and I don't talk. But I don't know them so why would I talk to
complete strangers.
"Ms. Randle you're late." Mr. Syme said
to a girl I know. She just rolled her eyes and took a seat.
"Ms. Davis spit out your gum." He said to another girl I
know.
I looked at the girl who was going to throw her gum away.
She was Alexa Davis. She had brown wavy hair which was pulled into a
ponytail. She was fourteen but she was in our classes because she
skipped a grade for some reason. She was the nicest person to me on
our first day of school a last year. She is very funny. She and I
talk sometimes but it's mostly saying 'hi' or 'hey' to each
other.
The other girl who was late was Allison Randle. She had
black silky curls coming out of her ponytail. She is one of the
roughest girls I know but she also was nice to me on our first day
too. I know her brother Steve he works at the DX I've seen him
there before. She can be rowdy but she is always up for fun. Like
Alexa she and I kinda talk. She and Alexa are greasers so they are
cool.
The bell finally rang and we had science. We were learning
about the solar system.
"Ok class." Mrs. Crazy hair woman
said. That's Mrs. Brooks. She looks like she hasn't brushed her
hair in ages.
"Ok class I am going to assign a group project on
the solar system. It's due tomorrow. I will be assigning groups."
She said.
"Great." I said to myself.
"Ok I want Allison
Randle, Alexa Davis." She said. They were happy.
"And
Katherine Anderson." She said. They looked at me. Alexa smiled and
Allison gave me a really small smile. She kept on assigning groups
till the class was done.
After the class we went our separate
ways. At lunch Allison and Alexa approached me.
"Hey your
Katherine right?" Allison said.
"Yeah call me Kathy." I
said.
"Well I'm…" Alexa started to say.
"I know who
you two are. You're Allison Randle and your Alexa Davis. I met you
two last year remember." I said to them.
"I think so."
Alexa said.
"Well you know that project where do you want to do
it at. And what planet do we got?" Allison said.
"We can do
it at my house cause I am the only one who lives there and we got
Pluto so that's easy." I said.
"Ok so we will come over
after school." Alexa said.
"Yeah that's fine." I said.
"Ok bye." They both said while going to class.
School
finally ended. I have no homework except the project. So I went to
Mrs. Crazy hair woman's room and got our supplies. I met them by
the buses.
"You got the stuff?" Allison said.
"Yeah."
I said. "Come on my house is over here." I said while point to a
small white house. We walked into my house and I threw my stuff on
the floor.
"Kathy where is your dad?" Alexa asked me.
"He's
probably in another state right now working. My mom is dead. And my
sister is in Texas with my grandma." I said.
"Oh." They
both said.
"Let's get started on the project." Allison
said.
While we were working on the project we actually became
really close. We had paint fights and we made up so many jokes. My
room is all redecorated now thanks to them but I love it. We
finished our project really fast so we just hung out. Alexa and
Allison became my best friends by the end of the night. We knew
everything about each other. Alexa was hilarious and she was
the nicest person ever. Allison was tough but she was so funny and
she can be nice.
Allison's
P.O.V
Wow Kathy isn't as shy as I thought. I always thought she
was a shy pipsqueak. But actually she is a funny and energetic
person. Wow. I knew her last year but she was always to shy and quiet
so I didn't really hang out with her but once I got to know her she
is ok. Her and I are best friends now.
Alexa's P.O.V
Kathy
is a great person. She is one of my best friends. I was nice to her
last year cause I kinda felt bad but now that I know her she is the
best. Her and I have so much in common. And Allison likes her which
is great cause Allison is the pickiest person when it comes to
friends. She is cool her and we are the bestest of friends.
"So
you wanna go to like the movies or something?" Allison asked us.
"Yeah." Me and Alexa said.
We
walked to the movie house which is close to my house.
"Come on
I found a hole were we can sneak in." Allison sad while motioning
to us.
"I saw this movie it's stupid." I said.
"So
then do you wanna just throw popcorn at people?" Alexa asked us. Me
and Allison smiled at each other.
"Hells yeah!" Allison said.
They looked at me.
"Damn straight I do." I said to them. They
just laughed.
"I'll get the popcorn." I said.
"Ok
we'll save you a seat." Allison said.
"Oh yeah extra
butter." Alexa said.
"I want a coke." Allison said.
"Me
too." Alexa yelled to me. Wow they were hungry.
So I waited in
line. It wasn't that long it was only me and two boys. One had jet
black hair and the other had brown kinda blondish hair. The one with
black hair was kinda cute I know I saw him and the other one around
school.
"Hey I know you." The one with brown blondish hair
said to me.
"You do?" I said while grabbing three popcorns.
"Yeah we have English together. I'm Ponyboy Curtis and this
is Johnny Cade." He said.
"Oh well I'm Katherine Anderson."
I said while grabbing three cokes.
"It's nice to meet you
too." I said while paying.
"Yeah." Johnny said quietly.
"Well I'll see you around school." I said while leaving.
"Yeah." They both said.
When I got back to the seats I saw
five guys sitting behind Ally and Alexa. Then I saw Pony and Johnny
join them.
"Here you guys go." I said while giving them the
food.
"I bet you I can hit that blondie over there." Allison
said. She threw the popcorn and it fit her but she didn't turn
around she just brushed her hair out.
"I can hit that black
haired kid over there." Alexa said while throwing the popcorn. It
hit him and he turned around but he didn't look at us.
"I can
hit that brunette over there." I said while throwing one. It hit
her and she turned around and looked at us. She gave us an evil look.
"That's right turn around." Allison said. The guys behind
us were annoying so we kept accidentally throwing popcorn at them.
"Hey little sis." I head a guy say. So we all turned around
and saw it was Steve Randle and his friends.
"Hey." She said.
"Who are these people?" Steve said.
"These people are
my best friends. This is Alexa Davis and Kathy Anderson."
She said.
"Hi." We both said.
"Who are these people?"
I asked him.
"This is Sodapop Curtis, Darrel Curtis, Dallas,
Winston, Two-bit Matthews…" He said.
"You're Ponyboy
Curtis and you're Johnny Cade." I said while interrupting.
"Yeah." He said. Alexa looked at me.
"How do you know
them?" She asked me.
"I met them in line." I said.
"Now
I wish I went." She said quietly. But I heard her. During the movie
Dallas was annoying Allison for the rest on the movie. He was kicking
her chair and talking pretty loud. He was trying to impress her. He
was acting all tuff. I saw Alexa had her eyes on Ponyboy but they
were both being shy like Johnny and I. BY the end of the night we
knew the guys but not a lot.
"Do you girls wanna come over for
dinner?" Darry asked us.
"Um." We all said while looking at
each other.
"They are coming." Dally said.
"And who put
you in charge?" Allison said.
"Me you got a problem with
that?" He said.
"Yeah I do. Do you wanna know why?" She
said
"Yeah." He said.
"Cause I'm the one in charge
here." She said while walking towards us. Dally opened his mouth
then closed it.
"Yeah that's what I thought." She said.
"Yeah we'll come." I said.
"Do I have to start with
you too?" Allison said.
"We would love to go." Alexa said.
"You too? They took you too the dark side. Damn those cookies."
Allison said.
"You guys have cookies!?" Me and Alexa said.
"I love chocolate chip cookies." Alexa said.
"We don't
got no damn cookies." Steve said. We got quiet.
"But we do
have cake. Chocolate cake." Soda said.
"Yes we are defiantly
going." Alexa said. We looked at Allison.
"Fine we can go."
She said.
"Yes!" We said while hugging her.
"Get off
me!" She said.
"Ok." I said while giggling.
