Hello everybody….it's cms4ever and cleo4ever44 here with this new story. We've decided to co-write this story together. As you can tell it's an outsider fanfic. We've watched 'A Bronx Tale' 'Our deal by west coast' and plenty of more things to get our idea. In our story the year is 2011, yes we are aware that the outsiders happened around 19th century but it is our story and this is what we choose to do.

We do not own any of the outside characters, but as for the oc characters and plot….it's all ours. So don't go posting our story somewhere else without our permission. If you are, contact Cms4ever or cleo4ever44 first.

Warning: There will be many racist events going on. We do not intend to offend anyone in this time, so I apologize ahead of time if that does happen.

Summary: Ponyboy Curtis falls for the new girl. One problem….she's black. Ponyboy thinks color shouldn't be an issue, but people think other wise. Lucy Keith isn't the perfect chick Ponyboy thought her to be. She has her secrets; the question is what is it? Lucy and Ponyboy will face many problems in there relationship before any fairytale ending.


The color's Black

Ponyboy walked into his first period class to find a black girl sitting in his seat.

"Hey, you're in my seat," I said studying her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm new here, I'm Lucy Keith," she stood up, gathering her books and extending her hand, I shook it.

"I'm Ponyboy,"

Lucy was exotically beautiful, with light chocolate colored skin, she seemed around 5'5, and she had long wavy jet black hair that reached the middle of her back and hazel eyes that seemed to peer into my soul.

The bell rang bringing me back to reality, blushing I sat down and waited for the teacher to arrive.

Mr. Destanfo walked in, scanning the room.

"Class, I would like to introduce you to our new student Lucy Keith. Lucy where are you from?"

"I'm from Long Island, New york." Lucy said.

"So, what's a nigger doing in Tulsa, Oklahoma?" Said a kid named Austin.

Most of the class laughed as I sat there shocked. I mean it was the year 2011, people shouldn't really be racist, but here in Tulsa pretty much everyone was racist.

"Austin, outside now!" Mr. Destanfo growled.

Mr. Destanfo and Austin walked out the classroom; the class hushed trying to listen to the conversation. Unfortunately we couldn't hear anything. Mr. Destanfo walked in without Austin and started to speak.

"So, class, your next group project is going to be an essay. You and your partner-and yes I will choose your partner," he paused, most of the class groaned.

"You and your partner will write essays about each other. The topic is, a day that changed your outlook on life. The project is due Dec.2nd."

"Avery and Dave, Kenly and josh, Ponyboy and Lucy you'll be working together."

He continued with the names as Lucy turned around showing her million dollar smile.

"Hey partner, do you want to get a bite to eat after school?" she asked her smile still on her face.

"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked.

"Huh…..never really thought of it that way, I guess so, anyway meet me at my locker B357 after ninth period," she said turning back around.

The bell rang signaling the class was over; Lucy got up and walked out the room. I tried to follow her but she blended into the sea of students.


After school, I went to Lucy's locker and waited for her to show up. I may have seemed pathetic just standing there, to tell the truth I could care less.

"Boo!"

I leaped at least a hundred feet's in the air. Once I got my heart to clam down I turned around, there she was in all her beautiful glory.

"Hey Lucy," I said lamely, mentally slapping myself.

"Sorry I'm late, my teacher had to talk to me," she said laughing, probably at how stupid I looked.

"It's okay, so are you ready?"

"Yeah, I am,"

Lucy and I walked down the quiet hallway and outside onto the busy street.

The silence between us wasn't awkward or uncomfortable surprisingly.

As we turned the corner our hands brushed passed each other sending a shiver down my spine.

We walked into the small diner and took a seat in a random booth.

A waitress with short brown hair greeted us and took our orders.

"So why did you move here?" I said feeling the need to break the silence.

"My dad's a doctor and he was offered a job at the local hospital," she said stiffly.

"How long have you lived here?" she asked turning the spotlight on me.

"My whole life, pretty much," I said.

"What do your parents do for a living?" That question sent a shock of pain to hit me in the chest.

"They're dead; they died in a car accident when I was a kid. Now it's just me, my brother Dally, and Sodapop," I said gently.

Lucy's mouth made an 'o' form,

"I'm really sorry-

I interrupted her, trying to change the subject.

"It's fine. Do you have any sibling?"

"Yeah, two their twins Lucas and Camille, they're both 12, so….your brother's named Sodapop?" she asked a small smile on her face.

"Yes, my father was a very original man,"

The waitress came back with our meal and set it on the table. Lucy took a big bite out of her burger.

Now that's the kind of girl I like, someone who isn't afraid to eat.

"How old are you?" she asked wiping her mouth with a napkin.

"I just turned 15, what about you?"

"I'm 15 too," she said when the sound of a phone ringing filled the air.

Lucy looked down at her pocket and pulled out her cell.

"Hello?" she said. She listened to the person on the phone and nodded her head. "Okay, I'll see you later, Bye." Lucy looked up at me and her eye's filled with sadness.

"I'm sorry Ponyboy, but I have to go. I'm sorry it was cut short," she said sincerely.

"It's okay," I told her even though I knew I wanted more time with her.

She handed me a piece of paper and placed money on the booth table. I opened it and it had a number in it, I smiled widely like a fool.

"Call me," she whispered in my ear giving me an awkward hug.

"Bye," she said walking away.

"Bye," I whispered as I watched her leave.
