So this is my second fic that I am doing completely on my own (the first 2 or 3 chapters of Not What You Expected is done by the girl who first opened this account, then turned over to me when I started to write, and she never wanted to take it back) so woohoo! I know that in the last chapter I promised a sequel, but I'm just so excited about my new fic that I can't even think about all the ideas I penned in my notebook for it.

I don't know why, but I have a serious fetish when it comes to OC stories, they are just so much fun. Probably because you can make them up, and if you pair an existing character with someone else, you have to follow their personality, and stuff. Anyway, I am OBSESSED with the Outsiders, it is my favorite book, and I am in love with Two-Bit Matthews, and I was kinda pissed that he and Marcia didn't end up together, and since I don't know anything about her, I came up with this.

This fanfic takes place about a year before the Outsiders, so Ponyboy's parents are still alive, and Johnny never got beaten up, Ponyboy's a year younger so he can't be a freshman, and I guess Soda didn't drop out yet. I decided to take Dally out (put him in jail, since he was supposed to be in at the beginning of the book) because I really don't know how to make him fit in here. To clear up any confusion, I'm posting an A/N after this is posted, so...

Anyway, enough of my rambling! Without further ado, I would like to introduce, "Teenage Rebellion."

There were four boys sitting by the parking lot before school: Two-Bit, Steve, Soda, and Johnny, each smoking a cigarette. When the sound of Jerry Lee Lewis's "Wild Child" filled their ears from behind, the gang didn't even bat an eye. It was normal for loud music to be wafting out the open windows of a greaser's car. But something made Steve cock his head to the side, looking out the corners of his eyes and saw a black car there, with a girl getting out of it. At the sight of her, he straightened and clapped his hand on Johnny's shoulder.

"What?" Johnny asked, flicking his ashes at the ground, and turning around to see what Steve was so excited about. When he followed his gaze to the girl, he perked up. "Woah. New girl."

Two-Bit and Soda both looked at her. Soda shrugged and Two-Bit cocked an eyebrow. "Not bad. She's cute." He said, craning his neck to get a better look at her. She was closing the door of her car and slinging her bag over her shoulder and making her way over to the school, disappearing in a matter of seconds.

And just like that, the rumors started.

As the four of them walked to their own separate lockers, Two-Bit caught the girl's eye, and she quickly looked away. He tuned to face his friends. "I'll see you guys later." He sent a meaningful look to the girl.

Steve looked, too. "Don't go harassing the new girl ten minutes after she came, Two-Bit." He said. The boys watched after him, trying to listen to what was to come.

Two-Bit ignored him and walked over to the girl. She gave him a sideways look and raised an eyebrow. Closing her locker, she leaned her shoulder against the door, her arms folded across her chest. "Are you lost?" She asked.

Two-Bit was taken aback by her forwardness but hid it well. "Just wonderin' if you were. Being new and all. You just moved here?" He questioned.

She looked down for a minute and back up. "No," She drawled, "no, I've been skipping school for the past sixteen years of my life, and my parents just found out, so they made me go back."

Two-Bit smirked to himself. She had attitude. "What's your name?" He could basically hear the guys snickering behind him. This was the first time Two-Bit had ever been shut down by a girl.

The girl looked him up and down, but it wasn't like she was checking him out. The look in her bright emerald eyes were too calculating for that. It was more like she was sizing him up, challenging him. "Cynthia." She hissed the C, her tongue curling around her name carefully. "Yours?"

"Two-Bit Matthews."

Cynthia adjusted her position on the locker. "That can't be your real name." She said skeptically.

He shrugged. "It's not." He looked back at his friends and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "But my friends call me Two-Bit." Cynthia snorted and rolled her eyes.

"So . . . is there a reason that you're here?" She questioned teasingly. "Did you come to . . . hit on me, or is this some kind of set-up between you and your friends . . .?"

Two-Bit cast his head down and looked up at her through his eyelashes. "No. Well," he grinned at her lasciviously, "maybe to hit on you." He felt a twinge of pride when he saw the faint blush appear on her cheeks.

"Well than, I guess, you know, if you ever want to hang out sometime, . . ." Cynthia grasped his arm and hitched the sleeve of his leather jacket up. She took a pen out of her bag and wrote a number on his arm. "Call me," She smiled at him and walked away.

Yeah, not much, but please don't hate on me. The song "Wild Child" is the opening song in the uncut version of the Outsiders movie, so if you want to check it out, it's a really great song. I'm going to upload an A/N describing the characters' positions in the story RIGHT AFTER THIS SO HANG TIGHT!
