Oh Brother. Brumly Boy livin' on the opposite side of town. Charlie Matthews, fifteen year old brother of infamous Two-Bit Matthews. Charlie doesn't want to be his brother, and he doesn't want to be Dallas, his worst enemy, either. He wan't so be his own man and that's what he's gonna be, even if Two-Bit disapproves. Name(Charlie) from Charlie Sheen, younger brother of Emilio Estevez(actor who played Two-Bit)
"WAKE UP, PUNK!" yelled a voice as the owner of the voice jumped on the unexpecting kid. The kid woke from his sleep, annoyed at his older sibling. He blinked his deep brown eyes a couple of times to rid them of the nighttime sand. Dancing, bright gray eyes shone into his brown ones. "Hiya."
"What? I was sleeping, idiot," said the brown eyed kid as he pushed his older brother off of him and onto the floor. It was bad enough he has to share a room with his brother.
"Geez, Charlie," barked the older boy as he got off of the stone cold floor, "Cranky much?"
"Only when my too old brother jumps on me, forcing me awake on a weekend," Charlie yawned out as he slid off of the bed. Then he reached over and poked his brother, "Don't jump on me anymore, Keith."
"Two-Bit," he corrected, "and don't be mad!"
"You may not need much sleep, but I'm only fifteen! I need plenty of sleep!"
"Geez, you're cranky!" Two-Bit barked, patting his younger brother on the back. Charlie pushed Two-Bit lightly.
"Of course I am! I was up late finishing a project for school!" he yelled, "Besides, I thought you were sleeping over at the Curtis' house," he was saying as he scratched his light colored chest hair.
"Well, it looks like I didn't."
Keith, Two-Bit as he wants to be called, Matthews, older brother of Charlie Matthews. Two-Bit has gray, dancing eyes and rusty colored hair and sideburns. Charlie, on the other hand, has deep brown eyes and matching hair. His sideburns were shorter compared to Two-Bit's. Both were about the same height and same build. But Charlie has the soft, innocent look in his eyes but the tough guy expression. Other way around for Two-Bit. Both know their way around the bop-action sight; meaning they're both good fighters. But Two-Bit fancies switchblade knives while Charlie simply carries a .22 caliber pistol. That has to be the only difference between them. Excluding the way they grease their hair and the three year age difference of course. Anyways, Charlie gathered a cut off t-shirt and a pair of oil smeared blue jeans and went to the bathroom. Charlie always got the shower first, even if Two-Bit began to bitch and moan about it.
After the shower, Charlie shook his hair dry and used the towel for his body. Then, after dressing, he greased his hair back. He was a greaser and damn proud But the odd thing was he wasn't part of the gang with Two-Bit and the Curtis boys. Hell, he hasn't even meet the Curtis boys or Randle or even Cade. But he knew Winston; he was his worst enemy. Charlie was a Brumly Boy. Yeah, yeah, he knows the Brumly Boys are on the other side of town, but he didn't want to be in a gang with Two-Bit and he didn't want to be in a gang with his worst enemy's friend, Tim Shepard. So the Brumly Boys accepted him for being such a good bopper. Their leader, Warren Williams, who they all call War-Kid, saw him fight off a few Socs and asked him to join in. Charlie of course agreed and thus, a Brumly Boy was made.
"Hey, Charlie, hurry up! I gotta meet Darry and the others for football!" Two-Bit griped, banging hard on the door Charlie put away his grease and came out.
"Ya'll playin' football?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, you wanna come by?"
"No, I got to meet with War-Kid. We're having a bop-action with Shepard tonight," he said, going back to their room for his black leather jacket and black cowboy boots.
"A rumble?" Two-Bit asked. He had followed Charlie to their room, "Really now?"
"Yeah, really," griped Charlie as he slid into his boots and reached for his jacket.
"Be careful, kid. Those Shepard boys are tough. Why else do you think we're on their good side?"
"Well don't blame me, Victim is the one who got in a squabble with a Shepard kid." Victim is another Brumly Boy. His real name is Victor, Vic for short and Victim for a nickname. Almost every Brumly Boy has a nickname. Charlie is C-M, Warren is War-Kid, and Vic is Victim. Easy.
"You boys have the oddest names."
"And Two-Bit is any better?"
"My name means something!" Two-Bit protested. Charlie cocked his eyebrow, just like Two-Bit is famous for.
"It means you talk a lot. War-Kid means he's a great fighter and Victim means that Vic was always the one being jumped before he joined us."
"And C-M?"
"Charlie Matthews. I haven't really earned a nickname yet..." Charlie admitted. Two-Bit hid a laugh. "What's so funny, Two-Bit?" Charlie asked, a little annoyed.
"Poor ol' Charlie ain't got no nickname!" he scoffed. Charlie rolled his eyes before belting Two-Bit in the gut with a closed fist, but not too hard.
"Shaddup, Two-Shit," he shot before pulling his jacket collar up and heading out with the soft patting of his boots on hardwood floor.
Tell me if I should continue!
