I sat at my desk staring out the window twiddling my pencil
"Miss May" My teacher Mr Arnold called my name but my Head was to high in the clouds to notice
"Kimberly May" I heard his voice louder as the slap of the ruler hit my desk I jumped and looked up at him he wasn't an old man but then again he wasn't young he was in his mid 30's and bug eye glasses i called them he was the only teacher to ever really notice when I wasn't paying attention but that could be because our art class was rather small in every other class I was just the invisible girl in the back but that was my life most of the time invisibility was my super power I heard everything about everyone ever rumor every party who banged who who wanted to get with who I was like a ghost at school i just wish I could say the same for at home both my parents were abusive alcoholics with drug addicts and just loved to lash out on me.
"you're art project is do on friday Kimberly are you almost done" Mr Arnold asked me I really wanted to be sarcastic to him but I was to timmed I just nodded he smiled and walked off when It came to homework i was always first to hand it in and to be finished it but when it came to a subsittue asking if was had homework Id never hand it in I liked staying invisble It ment I stayed out of trouble the Soc's didnt bother me and either did the Greasers When the bell rang I got up and made my way to English I was always good at the subject and as I walked in the door I relized the teacher has changed the desks around my eye's went huge my single desk in the corner was now moved around everyone had a partner I looked over at my teacher Ms Gallegos or as we called her ms.G she was my favorite teacher she was always super sweet to me and helpful she knew about what was going on at home she knew how shy and scared I was when she saw me having a mini meltdown in my head she waved me over I walked over to her quickly
"you're seats still in the back Kim just how you like it and you'll be sitting next to Mr Matthews" she said calmly my eye's went huge Keith Mathews better known on the street's as Two-bit was a wise cracking Greaser who always wore a Micky mouse shirt
" I thought it be good for the two of you, you might be able to help the boy finally pass my class and he might be able to get you to loosen up" she said to me my eye's were still huge as I walked to my seat -how the hell could this possibly help me if anything it would just get me noticed- I sat down in my seat and pulled my stuff out and started writing the notes on the board I had finished by the time the second bell rang for everyone to be in class everyone came in as Ms.G directed them to there seat I saw Two-bit walking towards me I felt my heart start to race I was no good around people he sat down in his chair next to me I felt my self shifting away out of habit as Ms.G started the lesson I noticed that he didn't bring anything with him to class I took out my spare plane black note book an started taking down the notes once again when I finished I passed them over to Two Bit he raised an eyebrow at me I gave a week smile then went back to my stuff before I knew it the bell rang to go home I sighed heavily and packed my stuff heading out the door as I walked up to my mute colored run down shack of a house I heard my parents fighting I took a deep breath -Please don't see me please don't see me" I repeated praying in my mind as I snuck in the door I watched as my mother threw a vase at my fathers head swearing at him I could tell by how pale and clamy her skin was she was commming down off something I quickly ran upstairs slamming my door I went over the desk I had put together using milk crates and old door I had found I did my homework then deiced Id have to go down stairs and make dinner my Parents had stopped fighgint and were on the couch in a dazed state a Needle in my mother's hand the had just shot up I walked into the kitchen and started making dinner as I started to put the plates out I slipped on a can on spilled beer the Plates went flying into the air and came down with a loud crash shattering into tini peices
"KIMBERLY ANN MAY" I heard my mother scream I flinched and looked up she was standing in the door way she stummbled over to me and pulled me up by my collar she shoved me into the fridge slaping me hard
"you stupid little cunt what is wrong with you do you think we have money to pay for new dishes" she screamed in my face he breath stunk of vodka she slapped me again and shoved me into the table I fell onto the chair it tipped backwards tears threating to fall from my eye my father walked in his eye's filled with rage I slowly got up my arm's shaking from the pain I looked down to see a chip in the tile I looked up at my father I opened my mouth to speak but before I could I felt his boot connect with my stomach I gasped for air he did it again
"you stupid ungratefull whore" he screamed at me I laid there tears stain my cheeks and he kicked me over and over again I begged him to stop he'd hit me hard I felt him turn me on my back hold me down he slapped me hard across the face then ripped my shirt up
"im going to let the world know how much on an ungratefull whore you are" he said spitting in my face I felt something sharp digg into my stomach I screamed my Mothers heel contected with my face
"shut the hell up bitch" she hissed at me the pain didnt stop It felt like it had been hours when my father finally pulled away and bloody nice in his hand I touched my stomach gently I flinched I felt my father pick me up by my collar he dragged me up stairs and tossed me onto my bed
"clean your self up then get down there and clean up the fucking mess you made whore" he spat at me before slamming my door I flinched I walked over to my mirror my dark auburn hair was ratted up my fair skin bruied and cut my Bright blue eye's puffy and red and as I looked down to my stomach I saw the world ungratfull carved into my skin tears streamed down my face I couldnt stay here I couldnt I emptied out my school bag and threw some clothes in it changing my shirt and slipping on a coat I took a deep breath ignoring the pain I knew Id be fine my father never did enough to get me sent to the hospital because he'd knew his fun with me would end I waited till I head my parents go to there room I opened my door quietly and snuck down the stairs running out the back door I ran as fast i could down the street till the pain became to much I collapsed onto my knees on the side walk I kneeled there catching my breath I opened my jacket a little to see my cut was bleeding again I groaned in pain dooing my Jacket back up I stood up as I walked I saw a light comming from behind me I turned to see a baby blue mustang pulling up and a guy named Robert from my school who was a Soc came out he walked up to me I tried to walk away he pulled me to him
"wel well well what do we have a hot babe such as you're self shouldnt be out alone this late a night" he said winking I pulled away from him and tried to walk away he pulled me back and pinned me to a tree
"what's your name doll face" Robert said winking at me I could smell the boose on him and in my head all i could thing why now of all times to i become visible
"K..Ki..Kimberly" I stutterd out
"well Kim why dont I take you for a ride" he said I tried to argue but he started to kiss my neck I pushed hiim off and tried to leave he shoved me back into the tree anger in his eye's
"you little fucking bitch" he spat at me slapping me across the face I flinchend falling to my knees I felt kick my side before I fell down and he began kicking me in the back I just laid there taking it praying maybe he would end me I closed my eye's whimpering as he beat me suddenly It stopped I heard a rather loud thud and some yelling I slowly moved my head to see a guy with I couldnt see much of his features and he didnt look famiilar he was wearing a leather jacket under the street lights his hair looked blonde I knew he was a greaser but that's all I knew I turned my head back and closed my eye's shaking from the cold and the pain I soon felt my self behind lifted I slowly opened my eye s a little to see the guy carrying me I closed my eyes once more feeling to weak I soon felt my self being placed down on something
"who's she Dall" I heard an unfamillar stern male voice say
"I dunno found Rob beating her so I took care of him" i heard the voice say I figured it was the boy named Dall who saved me I soon heard the door open again and more voices fill the room
"hey who she's" a younger male voice said
"we dont know Dall saved her" the stern male voice said
"she's bleeding" said the young voice no one eles said anything as i felt my jacket undone and shirt lifted
"who the hell would do that do a young girl" I heard the stern male voice say with anger
"Darry calm down" another young male voice injected I heard the door open again with more voice
"hey guy's whats - whoa who's that" another male voice said I was started to feel like some kind of freak show but I kept my eye's closed
"she looks like my english partner" I hears Two-bit's voice say slightly confused and that's why my eye's opened I saw the guy who saved me as well as six others standing infront of me I reconized three off them other the Two bit they were the curtis brother Ponyboy and Sodapop as well as Johnny the rest of them I didnt know I looked at Two-bit
"Did you do you're homework Keith" out of all the possible thing I could say I say the one thing to make my self look like the lamest person ever they all chuckled
"It's Two-bit" he complained not likeing being called Keith I slowly started to sit up holding stomach as pain shot threw me I felt a hand on my shoudlder
"easy there" a voice said I fallowed it to the man with the stren voice I knew he was sodapop and Ponyboy's older brother Darrel as soon as I saw him
"I'm fine had worse" i said to them they all stared at me in disbelife after a momment it was akward
"I'm Kimberly by the way if you didnt know" I said looking down
"I knew that" Two bit said in a matter a fact tone I looked up at him raising an eyebrow
"I just may have forgot it" he addmited the guys laughed and I shook my head
" I know you Names Johnny and you'rs is Ponyboy because your in my math" I said pointing at them they looked a little shocked
"and your sodapop Pony's brother you I have no clue what your name is" i said to the guy between soda and Two-bit
"and you're names Dall but im not sure if that's your full name I only know it because of Ponyboy and Soda's brother Darrel saying and thank you for saving me" I managed to get out alot quicker then I thought the boy whos name I didnt know looked almost a little hurt his was the only one I didnt know
"im steve and how do you know all there names and they dont know you?" he asked a little confused they all were I let out a little laugh that made me flinch in pain
"well to be honest im kinda the ghost of the school no one really notices me like ever... So i pretty much see and hear everything from everyone Soc's and Greasers alike and being invisble and shy is the reason I got put as Two bit's partnter"I said to them
"it's because im so danm amazing" exlaimed two bit
"no it's because Ms G tired of you flunking her class" I said the boy's laughed at my not very funny joke all the boy's took a seat Soda sat next to me and next to him was Steve Two-bit Laid down on the ground while Johnny Pony and Dallas all sat on the other couch and Darr sat on the arm of the couch next to me he looked worried they all gave eachother glances then looked back a me then glanced at eachother again I was feeling akward
"someone say somthing make a noise anyknow I dont even care if you fart just please stop the silence" I said going slightly insane they all laughed then Two-bit burped loudly which made me laugh
"so Kimmy" Soda said beside I turned to look at him he fell silent
"what happened" I heard Dar's firm voice say from behind me all eye's fell on me again
"what do you mean" I tried to ask him innocently
"to you're stomach babe" I heard Dall say I groaned at the name and the fact the just had to ask
" if you really have to know it was my father well the stomach part most of the beating that didnt come from Robert was my mother's dooing" I said simply but inside i was dieing trying not to Cry they all fell silent and avoided eye contact all but one Johnny the boy was just as quiet as I was I looked up at him and he gave me a sypathtic understanding look
"ponyboy soda pop kitchen now" demaned they shared a looked then got up and as soda stood up I tipped over into the empty seat I hadnt even relized I was leaning on him Two-bit broke into laughter the fact pretty much everything made this boy laugh made me laugh whiched made steve Laugh even Johnny and Dall let out a chuckle I grabbed my sides
"oww Two-bit stop laughing at things it hurts" I said trying to push my self up after a few times I gave up
"nope not happening" I said mostly to my self Dall chuckled and stood up he gently pulled me up and sat down my body immeadtly leand on him I wasnt sure why but sitting straight up just hurt to much I looked up at him
"thanks I was a little Scared Steve was gonna fart because well being that close I probably wouldnt of survived" I said trying to be funny of course two-bit laughed at it which made me feel a bit better while Steve just complained at it Two-bit turned the Tv on and started to watch Mickey Mouse boy was he obbsessed with it as I examined the room I saw my bag in the corner by the door I really didnt want to move
"hey Johnny" I said to him alot quieter then I thought but he heard me I knew by the way he looked up at me
"can you pass me my bag please?" I asked him pointing to it he smiled and nodded boy was he shy normally I would be to but something about these boy's took away my power of invisbilty and made me feel almost safe Johhny got up and handed me my bag I pushed my self off Dall who was pretty much passed out I dug threw my bag till I found my hershy's bar I has saving I took a peice off and tossed it at johnny it lannded on his lap he looked up at me picking it up and smiled I took a peice off for me and put it back in my bag nibbling it a few momments later Pony, Soda and Dar walked back in
"Kim we were wondering that if you wanted to stay here with us... I know it's not the big or anything and that you barley know us and all but we would be happy if you stayed here and you wouldnt have to deal with your parents anymore" said Soda he gave me a movie star smile that would make any girls heart melt Two bit pulled his attention away from the Tv
"oo say yes!" he said rather excited
"i..if your sure.." I said looked down
"postive" I heard Dar say he rubbed my back gently in a comferting way
"im heading to bed I have work in the morning you guy's can stay if you like but keep it down" Dar Said walking away Two-bit was back watching Mickey Mouse and Steve had passed out on the other side of Dall
"then there five" I said soda chuckled sitting next to Johnny after a while Two bit passed out on the floor as me and the others chatted quietly I was starting to feel at home with them like Ive known them forever Soda, Pony and Johnny as quiet as he was all started to feel like brothers to me I yawned loudly getting tired
"were am I sleeping" my eye's were barly able to stay open
"you'll be crashing in my room I have a spare bed" said Soda I just nodded he chuckled my eyes started to droop and I felt my self being lifted up I opened my eye's to See Soda carrying me to bed
