Chapter One

My sandy blonde hair flapped in the breeze of the humid Oklahoma air. I sigh left my lips as i leaned back against the seat, its not like i was unhappy moving to Tulsa but i would just miss everything back home in California, my friends, the familiar sights and sounds and most of all my parents. They past a couple months ago due to an overdoes of who knows what. They were big on drugs and alcohol and they payed for it, 6 feet under. I fortunately had some family left that i could go to, i was on my way to my grandmothers ranch on the east side of the tracks, a little ways away from the town, but still close enough to walk to stores or just around. Its not like we were in the middle of nowhere it was pretty well populated where grandmas ranch was. It was very specious too, she needed room for her horses. She had 4 i think and she had recently gotten a new one, i was pretty excited to meet him, over the phone grandma said he was the most rambunctious horse she'd ever seen. She wanted to keep the name a secret she said it was really something. Ever since my grandfather died she wanted something to keep her busy so she bought some horses and invited me up often so she wouldn't get lonely.

I looked around the bus, to see me along with 4 other people, a little girl and her mother who kept scolding her from turning in her seat, a tall man with a fag hanging from his lips and another man who looked to be sleeping and snoring, quite loudly i might add.

As for me, my names Cynthia Sanders or Thia for short. I'm 17 with blue eyes and I'm about 5'8, screw being one of those petite girls that look like bone racks but its not like I'm a tank or anything, I'm average. I wouldn't call myself 'soft spoken' either I'm very energetic and trust me, i will speck my mind and if i don't like you i will come straight out and tell you, I don't believe in 'beating around the bush'. No matter how butch it may sound i can be cute when i wanna be, growing up in Cali you had to have the puppy dog pout down pat or you got nothing done.

The bus stopped at little ways outside Tulsa, i guess i would be walking the rest, it wasn't such a long walk I'd say 10 min. I got my bag and started off down the road. Im so happy i decided against my friends advice to wear jeans, its like 100 degrees out. At the moment all i had on was my white shorts that reached mid-thigh, and yellow plaid button up shirt which was un-buttoned showing off a grey tank top. Even with so little on, i wish it was less.

About 5 min into my walk i was bored and burning to death, all there was out here was farm land and ill i've seen is some grass,corn and some more grass. I heard the roar of a motor and Elvis coming up from behind me but kept walking until they pulled up beside me.

Sodas POV

Me and Steve were cursing back from an out off town party blasting Elvis the whole way home. Steve was going on about what a good time him and Evie had dancing and drinkin' and stuff. I was still trying to get over Sandy, she just had to go off and cheat and get pregnant with some other guys kid. My hands were tightening on the wheel.

"Wooh there buddy, don't strangle it, Darry will be awful angry if you break his car" Steve said slapping me on the back. I grunted in response

"Aw,come on Soda its been a month since she left, forget about her already. Did you even try to have fun at the party? Shot that was the whole point you know"

"Yeah i know but i love Sandy i just cant forget about her"

"Soda, she had someone elses kid, doesn't that mean anything?" Steve said raising his voice

I let out a sigh, i know he was right and i should forget about her but i just couldn't. I loved her so much, i was even gonna marry her one day. Now love just seems like a lost hope.

A couple minutes later i saw something walking down the side of the road and as we got closer i noticed it was a girl. My eyes must have been playing tricks on me, the blonde hair, the build, the way she walked,the way her hips swayed, i could have sworn it was Sandy. I looked over at Steve who was looking at her with the same amazement. It couldn't have been her though, Sandy was way shorter. We pulled up beside her and right when i was about to say something Steve yelled at her.

"Hey! Broad!"

The girl turned to look at us with her eyebrow raised "What did you just call me?"

"A broad" Steve repeated himself proudly. One of these days he's gonna get smacked by some girl who doesn't wanna put up with his bullshit. This girl, on the other hand did in fact look like Sandy a whole lot, same innocent blue eyes, same hair colour she even had the same face and nose shape. Wow she sure was a looker.

END OF SODAS POV

"A Broad" the one with complicated swirly brown hair repeated

I just rolled my eyes and kept walking hoping they wouldn't follow me.

They did.

"Whats a pretty thing like you walking down the road at dusk by her lonesome?" the other boy asked. He sure was a doll, he had his hair dark blonde hair slicked back and his brown eyes twinkling with amusement.

I sighed "If you must know, I'm going to my grandmothers horse ranch somewhere down the road"

"Well no matter where your going you shouldn't be walking alone, it dangerous you know" Wow Mr. Complicated swirls just got serious.

I stopped and turned around to face there truck which had been following me. "I guess your right and what exactly shall i do?" i enquired looking at them with a pout

"Just hop a ride with us! We got room, just put your bag in the back!" Mr. Gorgeous said pointing his thumb to the trunk of his truck

i shrugged and tossed my bag in the back, ran over to the passenger door and sat beside Mr. Complicated swirl. They were both staring at me with bewildered looks on there faces

"So whats your name doll face?" he asked while putting his arm around my shoulder and snapping out of his daze

"Cynthia Sanders but my friends call me Thia" i replied shrugging his arm off.

He didn't seem put out at all. "Well I'm Steve Randle and this is Sodapop Curtis"

I looked over at Sodapop "wow that such a-"

"Weird name?" He interrupted me

"No, i was gonna say awesome and original" i said smiling at him

"You think that's original, i have a brother named Ponyboy" he smiled back "My dad was a real original guy"

"Was?" I asked curiously

"He and my Mom got into a car wreck and uh..died. My older brother Darry has custody of us now" He said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck

"Oh Sodapop I'm sorry i asked"

"Its alright Cynthia, gotta move on sometime right?" he smiled

I smiled at him, he sure does look happy

"So Cynthia-"

"Thia, call me Thia"

"Only if you call me Soda" he looked over at me and smirked

i laughed a bit " Okay I'll call you Soda and you Stevie" i said ruffling Steves hair. Did i mention I'm not shy when i meet new people?

"Okay, Thia, tell us about yourself" Steve said smacking my hands away lightly

"Not much to tell, both parents died due to an overdoes, I'm moving from California

to live with my grandmother. I'm an only child and i like horses"

"You say your parents died like nothing" Steve chuckled

"They didn't like me much, i was that one thing they wanted to have and instantly regretted" i replied looking out the window. "So Stevie, whats your story?"

"Don't got one, my mom left when i was younger and i live with my old man who's always drunk"

I could see the ranch coming up on the right and told Soda to pull in the long driveway going up to the old farm house. I hopped out the side and grabbed my bag from the back

"Well it was nice meetin' ya guys" I said cracking a grin

"You to Thia, we'll see ya around i hope"

"Well sure you will"

I waved to them both as they backed down the driveway and out onto the main road. I turned to walk up to the house. I walked up the porch steps and knocked on the door. A couple minutes later a plump old woman opened the door and rapped me in a giant hug

"Hello my dear, please come in!" My grandmother said happily "You've grown so much since i last saw you, ahh you've become a beautiful young lady" She beamed "Go put your things down and get some sleep, you've had a long day! I promise first thing tomorrow morning I'll show you the horses"

I grinned at her and kissed her on the cheek "Okay, goodnight grandma"

I walked up the stairs, to the 3rd door on the right. It was my room every time i stayed here. I set my things down and looked around the pink floraly room, since i was gonna be living here i would defenetly have to paint it. I plopped down on the bed, layed down and i feel asleep right when my head hit the pillow.

OK so theres the first chapter! I just wanted it too start going so it short but if people will be willing to read o course they'll get longer!

Well i hope you all like it!
