Stephanie's wild ride

" Stephanie get up right now! Your going to be late for school!" Darry yelled pounding on my door.

I groaned pulling the blankets over me, hoping he would go away. I hate waking up in the mornings because that means coming back to reality. BAck to where the greasers and soc's hate each other, back to walking in on, being involved in, or witnessing a fight day after day after just reminds me that everyday someone's dying or being hauled into the station for questioning or breaking the law. Which happens a lot in tulsa. I don't like it but there's nothing we can do about it. Were greasers and its going to stay that way whether we like it or not.

" Stephanie Nicole Curtis! Get the hell out here right now! It's six thirty!" Darry yelled again.

I sighed and got out of bed. Then it hit me. Six thirty! I only had five minutes to get ready! I quickly got dressed, ran a brush though my overly tangled hair. I grabbed my shoes and walked out of my room. When I saw Darry I gave him one of my real sweet smiles.

" Don't give me that now hurry up you and pony can't be late."

Soda then ran by looking for his DX shirt. " Darry have you seen-"

"In my closet." Darry interuppted with a wave of his hand.

I looked at Soda and he flashed me one of his famous cocky grins that always made me laugh. Darry just glared at me.

" Okay okay I'm going." I said grabbing my bag and pulling ponyboy out the door.

I groaned as Two-bit Matthews and Steve Randle walked up to us. " Aw you guys know its hard enough telling you too apart without you guys dressing the same." two-bit complained.

I had to laugh because truthfully even though me and Ponyboy do look similar we are completely different. Ponyboy is a huge dreamer and because of that he doesn't think. I don't even think he knows how to use his head. He likes to read, write and draw alot. Me? I do a fair share of daydreaming and even writing but I won't read unless I have too. Another big difference is that Ponyboy likes school. I hate it. I'd rather be at the Dingo with Dally and Johnny. I would have dropped out when Soda did had Darry let me. But when Soda dropped out that hurt Ponyboy and we could all see that. So soda made it up to Ponyboy every now and again by taking him somewhere with him and Steve. Which bugged steve to no end. He couldn't stand Ponyboy which is maybe why I don't like him too much either.

To be honest, I think it hurt Ponyboy alot more when Johnny dropped out but his parents didn't care about him and he didn't like school so he dropped out a few months ago. All his old man did was beat him when he got drunk which in a way I guess Johnny likes because then he knows that at least his dad knows he's there. When johnny got jumped by those Soc's it tore him apart he's no longer the tough guy he's more like a puppy that's been kicked too many times and I feel bad for him. But I can't tell him that it would embarrass him.

"Steph you coming?" Ponyboy asked concern in his voice

"What? Oh yeah sure." I said walking paast him and going to my locker.

School dragged by so slowly I thought it would never end. But finally it was last period math, my worst subject.

"!" yelled.

"Here!" I said raising my head long enough to look at her.

"Attendance was a half hour ago Ms. Curtis." She said emphasizing the word curtis.

I rolled my eyes. "Then what do you want!"

"An answer to this question."

"Well why don't you figure it out and get back to me?" I said smirking at two-bit.

"That's it go down to the principal's Office now!" yelled.

I stood up and smiled "bye losers." Then walked out the door.

when I got down to the office Principal Cooper ushered me into her office.

"What happened?" She asked.

" asked for an answer to the question so I gave her one." I replied innocently enough and I think she bought it because she just told me not to do it again. I walked out of her office and out the front doors. That's when I saw them. Five Soc's coming towards me smiling. Normally I would have run away but today I was looking for a fight. "Bring it on!" I yelled punching one in the face. The next thing I knew I was being punched in the stomach over and over again. I felt myself going down. No air in my body left to breath when they started kicking me in the head. I rolled to get out of the way but one grabbed me by the hair and started smashing my face into the ground. I felt so helpless. Like I couldn't do anything. All of a sudden all the weight on my body was gone and all I could hear was screaming and the sound of pounding footsteps but I couldn't be to sure becaue I was half unconscious.

" Oh my god Stephie are you okay!" Johnny yelled. He's the only one besides Dally and Ponyboy who calls me that. It's sort of their pet nickname for me.

"Johnny?" But that's all that came out before I blacked out.
