Hello! This is my first The Outsiders fanfic, so bear with me. This story is basically about a girl who just "moved" to Tulsa from her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. I said "moved" because there is something suspicious about her and the gang will try to find out about her past. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own The Outsiders (I wish I did) the book belongs to S.E Hinton.
Chapter 1: Nightly Double
"I will never miss the cold again." I said as I walked down the street with my arm around my sister, Emma. Emma just turned 16 three months ago and I'm turning 15 in less than a month.
"Yea, neither will I. I love the warmth, hate the cold." Emma said smiling at me. We both laughed. "So what will you miss most about Cincy?" Emma asked me.
"I have no idea." I replied. "I hated my school I didn't have a lot of friends." I told her with a shrug.
"What about Sam?" Emma said smirking.
I playfully punched her in the arm. "We broke up, remember. He cheated on me with Stella." I rolled my eyes at her. "Hey, lets get back to the house. I'm starved."
"You're always hungry Sophie." Emma said.
"Well it's not my fault I need to eat a lot of meat to stay healthy." I replied with a smile.
"Yea well don't forget about always running around." Emma shoved me playfully.
I just shrugged. "I have a good build."
"Yea, one that the boys would like." Emma smirked at me as I just stared at her dumbfounded. I got a mischievous grin on my face as I ran up to her. Emma immediately ran away from me and I chased her throughout the park. I finally caught up to her and tackled her to the ground. We rolled around for a little bit before finally calming down, or so she thought. As soon as Emma sat up again, I jumped on top of her and began to tickle her. Emma shrieked with laughter. "Sophie! Sophie stop!" Emma tried to say while laughing. I grinned at her.
"Cry uncle." I told her. Emma and I have this game. Whenever we wrestle, any one of us can call Cry Uncle and that means that the wrestling match won't end until someone cries uncle. "Said it. Cry uncle!" I told her while tickling her.
"Uncle! Uncle!" I heard Emma yell through her shrieking. I got off of her and gave her a triumphant smile. She glared at me in a playful way and we both walked back to my house.
(my house)
"Mom, we're home!" I yelled as soon as I walked inside of our house.
"Sophie, Emma, I can smell you from the kitchen, go take a shower, NOW!" My mom yelled from the kitchen, of course I ignored her while Emma, being the good girl she is, went upstairs to take a shower.
"Mom what's for dinner?" I asked.
"You two are going to the drive-in, right?" before I could say anything, my mom said, "Shower. Now." She said pointing to the stairs.
"Fine mom." I said rolling my eyes. When I walked upstairs, Emma was on her way back from the bathroom. "That was quick." I said to her.
"Yea, well unlike you, I actually listen to mom." Emma said. I rolled my eyes to her. I got into the shower and began to sing silently. When I finished, I wrapped myself up in a towel and went to my room.
Emma was in her room, right next to mine. "Emma, we're still going to the Nightly Double tonight, right?" I asked her.
"Yea" I heard her reply from the other room.
"What to wear, what to wear." I thought to myself as I raided my closet. After about 10 minutes I finally picked an outfit. My pastel blue tank top, black skinny jeans, black converse, my black leather jacket, and my brown ombre hair pulled into a tight ponytail.I walked downstairs looking for Emma. My sister wore something similar to me. She was wearing a white t-shirt, light blue ripped jeans, dark blue converse, a pink, purple, and green unbuttoned plaid shirt, with her golden-blonde hair in a french braid.
"You took your time." Emma said to me as I walked down the stairs smiling.
"Yea well, I at least look decent for a change." I smiled at her, and Emma rolled her eyes at me.
"Honey, be home before midnight." my mom told us.
"We will, bye!" I told my mom as I rushed out the door, Emma following me.
Emma stopped mid-step. "Em, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing I just forgot my keys inside." Em was about to turn around when I grabbed her arm.
"Emma we just moved here. Let's walk to the movies." I knew Emma always wanted to do that.
"Fine." She said. "But what if we get jumped. I know that happens here."
I smirked at her. "No one will hurt you when your sister is here." I said flashing out my pocket knife. My pocket knife had a royal blue handle with a 10-inch black blade, sharpened too. "My most prized possession."
Emma laughed. "You do love that damn pocketknife dad gave you." I gestured to her to walk.
As we got to the Nightly Double, Emma and I paid the admissions fee and found a spot on the bleachers.
I walked to the concessions and ordered 2 pepsis and 1 large popcorn to share. When I walked back I noticed 1 boy harassing my sister. I walked up and sat back down next to Emma. I gave her her pepsi and immediately turned around. "Stop harassing my sister, man." I said in a venomous voice. The other person he was with backed off, apparently afraid of me.
"And what will you do about it princess." The man looked at me and asked.
"You damn better back off if you don't want to end up on an operating table." I threatened as a took out my pocket knife and held it to his throat, thankfully no one noticed. I looked at my sister who was looking at me in a horrified look, I ignored it; this ...hood better learn to pick on someone else.
"Nice blade." He said backing off. "I'm Dallas Winston, but you can call me Dally, and that is my buddy Two-Bit Matthews." Dally said pointing to Two-Bit who was eyeing my blade.
"I'm Sophie, that's my sister Emma." I said hesitantly.
Emma saw Two-Bit eyeing my blade, so she decided to get in in the action. "What you are you looking at?" Emma asked Two-Bit in a glare.
"Nothing." He said looking at Emma. "Thats a sweet blade. Where'd you get it." Two-Bit asked me.
I took my eyes off of Dally and looked at him. "My dad gave it to me before he left to fight in Vietnam." I told him while I was carefully running my finger along the blade, not making eye contact with him. Two-Bit and Dally were quiet until the movie ended.
It was around 11 when the movie ended. "Maybe we should walk you ladies home. It's is dangerous to walk the streets alone at night." Two-Bit said standing up.
"Listen Two-Bit. I really appreciate the offer, but I'm pretty sure I can defend myself." I told him putting my jacket back on.
"Listen," Dally lit a cigarette, "Tulsa is no place to be after dark, for your protection, let us walk you home." Dally told us.
Emma walked up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder protectively. "Fine you can walk us home, but after that, leave us alone, ok." Emma glared at Dally and Two-Bit.
"Ok fine. Lead the way ladies." Two-Bit did a little bow and ushered us forward. Well lets just say that is where the friendship grew between Emma and I, and the rest of the gang. Our house was about a ten minute walk to The Dingo, so Emma was making conversation with Dally while Two-Bit and I were chatting up a storm. Every time Emma looked my way, I was laughing at some of Two-Bit's jokes, she couldn't help but smile.
While Two-bit and I were talking, I noticed that Dally whispered something into Emma's ear causing her to let out a little laugh. I smirked at her. Two-Bit asked me a question what surprised me. "Tell me about yourself and Emma."
"Um, well, Emma just turned 16 3 months ago and I'm turning 15 next month. We just moved here from Cincinnati because...lets just say I made a mistake. I was part of this gang in the bad parts of downtown Cincinnati called the White Tigers." When I said that, I heard Two-Bit gasp a small bit. "Hey, you ok?" I asked him.
"Yea I'm fine. It's just that the White Tigers are one of the gangs that usually gangs up against ours when they come here." Two-Bit told me with a glint of fear in his eyes.
"Yea for business. But I never came, I had the choice to, but I never did." I stopped Two-Bit. "I'm not like them. I don't jump people for fun. I always stayed back at HQ because I knew that the gang did was wrong. Two-Bit I left because I did something stupid, Them and other allied gangs are out to kill me. That's why I left. To start over." Two-Bit smiled at me.
"We should catch up before your sister worries that i took you." Two-Bit grinned at me and I let out a laugh.
"Ok then." I began to walk and he followed.
"You two took your time." Emma said smirking at me. "What were you too talking about."
"Oh nothing. Just...stuff." I told her innocently.
"You know Sophie, I lived in a house with you for 14 years, I know when you're lying." Emma told me. Emma walked up to me and wrapped me into a hug. For a second I looked at her confused, until she whispered something into my ear.
I pulled away and looked at Two-Bit. Both boys looked amused. "I'll give you 5 seconds to run." I gave Emma a playful glare. I began counting down on my fingers. "5, 4, 3," When I hit three, Emma took off running. "1" I skipped 2 and immediately took off after Emma. With my enhanced hearing, I could tell Dally and Two-Bit were behind me. I stopped, silently sniffing the air for Emma's scent. When I picked it up again I took off in a dead sprint that no one could keep up with. I finally caught up to her and tackled her from behind and immediately told her to cry uncle. She tried to run away, but I grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. She whimpered in pain. After the boys finally caught up, Emma finally called uncle, so I won again. I was looking at her laughing and panting, trying to catch my breath. Emma look at me and noticed my eyes were a golden color instead of their usual brown.
She immediately pointed to her eyes and said, "eyes." I knew what that meant, I calmed down a bit and looked back at Emma. She nodded, so my eyes were back to the original color or brown.
"Damn you are one fast girl." Two-Bit said looking he was about to pass out.
I helped him sit down and said, "track star."
"If you join the track team for high school, Ponyboy may have a problem trying to beat you." Dally said grinding the butt of his cigarette on the ground.
"Who's Ponyboy?" Emma asked as she got off of the ground.
"We'll introduce you to the others sometime tomorrow afternoon." Two-Bit said from his spot on the ground.
Emma took out a pencil and a crumpled up piece of paper from her pocket and wrote her number down on it and handed it to Dally. "There, so now you know how to reach us."
"See you guys tomorrow." I waved as I walked away with Emma.
Two-Bit's POV*
"See ya" I said as I stood back up and walked back to the Curtis' house with Dally.
Dally looked at me and said, "those are 2 nice broads."
"Yea they are. But I saw the way you were looking at Emma." Two-Bit smirked.
Dally glared at me. "What about you and Sophie." Dally mocked.
"Doubt that'll happen, she's about 3 years younger then I am. I can see her with Ponyboy though." I said as I took a drag from a freshly lit cigarette.
(curtis household) Dally's POV*
I walked in quietly into the Curtis' house because Buck was having a party that I for some reason didn't want to go to. When I looked at the clock, it was 1 in the morning, so I went over to the couch only to find someone else was already there. I realized it was Johnny after a few moments. So I crashed in Darry's recliner, hoping he won't mind. "Who am I kidding, he will." I thought. I looked over at Johnny. 'Poor kid. Night Johnnycakes." I thought right before I drifted off to sleep.
