This is my first story. I hope you enjoy!! Oh and I do not own the Outsiders.

Chapter 1

(Lila's POV)

I did not like the idea of moving....AT ALL! Especially to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I mean what the hell is there anyways? Okay so maybe I was overreacting just a tad but I liked it perfectly fine where I was living before. My dad got a new job so I was forced to move with my parents. Grr....

"So what do you think?" My dad asked me, smiling.

"Would you like to hear the truth or a lie," I said annoyed.

"Lila, you'll get used to it here. Trust me," my mom said.

'Whatev.' I thought to myself. I so wasn't about to say that outloud to my mom.

I had already unpacked everything I had and got my new room situated the way I wanted it to be. I was getting pretty curious about this new place so I left and walked around. It looked pretty ordinary. Me and ordinary do not go very well together. I'm kinda a wild child. (Hehe) I walked around for a little while and then noticed a blue mustang pull up beside me.

"Hey there, baby. Wanna get in and go for a ride?" One of the guys said in the car. He seemed drunk. Just my luck.

"Yeah, come on. You know you wanna," another one said. They all laughed and I eyed them angrily. They were beginning to make me mad and the one thing you don't want to do is make me mad.

"Not a chance in hell!" I said.

They all started getting out of the car. There were 4 of them.

'Shit.' I thought to myself. I was beginning to feel a little afraid but I sure wasn't going to let them know it.

"And just why not?" One of them asked.

I walked up to him. "I don't ride around with scum like you." I then spit on his shoe. (Not very lady like but wouldn't you just love spitting on a soc's shoe?!)

That wasn't a good idea cause he then slapped me to the ground and started picking me up. The others came over to help him.

"Get the heck off me!" I started screaming. "Stop! Help! Help!" One of them covered my mouth and I was starting to freak out.

They almost had me in the car when all of a sudden a guy came and grabbed me away from them. He pulled me behind him and put a protective hand on my arm.

"What do you guys think you're doing?" He asked sounding angry.

(Sodapop's POV)

Finally, it was time to get off work. We were closing earlier since we didn't really have a lot of customers coming in. I was exhausted and ready to get home. Steve was with me and we were talking along the way.

"Do you wanna hang out tonight?" Steve asked me.

"I don't know," I said. "I'm so exhausted and I just want to lay around tonight."

"Come on. There's this big party going on tonight. You have to come," He said.

"Maybe some other time," I said. We continued walking when we heard someone screaming.

"Do you hear that?" I asked Steve.

"Yeah, let's go see what's going on." We ran to where we heard the screaming and seen a girl being dragged into a car by some socs. She was trying to fight them but that wasn't working out very well. I was feeling pretty angry. I looked over at Steve and he looked angry too. We ran over to where they were.

I grabbed and pulled her behind me. She looked completely frightened. I'm glad we got there in time.

"What do you guys think you're doing?" I asked angrily.

"This is none of your business you dirty greaser," He said. I was really pissed by then.

"It is my business when you come on greaser territory," I told him, getting up in his face. Steve came up to one of the guys and just punched him. The guy that I was talking to threw me a punch. I pushed the girl out of the way so she wouldn't get hurt and started fighting them. They were pretty drunk so it wasn't very hard to beat the tar out of them. After a little while, they got in their car.

"This isn't over!" One of them yelled. They drove off and we threw rocks at their car.

"Are you okay?" I asked her while I was helping her off the ground. She stood there shocked and scared. I put my arm around her and tried to make her feel better. "You're safe now. It's all over."

(Lila's POV)

I just stood there scared and shocked while the guy that saved me was trying to make me feel better. I noticed the other guy was on the other side of me. I was so thankful they got there in time.

"Are you gonna be okay?" One of them aked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just...well...really scared," I said trying to get my words out.

"They're not gonna hurt you anymore. My name's Sodapop by the way."

Sodapop...what a unique name. I actually loved it cause I love unique things.

"My name's Steve," the other one said.

"I don't even know how to thank you both. What you guys did was...brave. Very brave," I said.

"Well the first thing you can do is tell us your name," Sodapop said laughing a little.

"Oh, excuse me. My name's Lila."

"Well it's nice to meet you Lila. Just wish it didn't have to be this way," he said smiling.

"Yeah, you and me both." I smiled back.

"Well I hate to break up the small talk but we best be getting out of here," Steve said.

"Right. Where do you live?" Sodapop asked.

"You don't have to walk me home. I'll be fine."

"There is no way in hell I am going to let you walk home by yourself. It's no problem. Steve and I don't mind."

"Well, just follow me then I guess," I said walking in the direction to go home. We all talked along the way. I told them where I lived before I moved to Tulsa and stuff like that. I had my own questions to ask them though.

"May I ask you guys a question? If you don't mind?" I asked.

"Go ahead," Steve said.

"What is a soc and a greaser?"

"Well, a soc is the rich kids that get anything and everything they want with their parents money. Us greasers are the poorer kids that actually work for our money. We've had a rivalry for a long time now," Soda said.

"Why is there a rivalry between you guys?" I asked confused.

"The socs like to come on our territory a lot and cause trouble. We don't stand for it so it turns into a rivalry," Steve said.

"Sounds to me like the soc need to get a life," We all laughed. We were at my house a little after that.

"Is my cheek too noticeable?" I asked them. They examined it and shook their heads.

"Looks okay to me," Soda said smiling. He was extremely good looking. I mean if this guy got any better looking, it would be illegal. "You're still gorgeous." He blushed when he said that.

"Thanks," I said, blushing too. "Thanks for walking me home. I'm grateful to you both."

"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad we were there when we were," said Sodapop. Steve agreed with him.

"Well thank you both." I gave each of them a hug. Soda was blushing again. I smiled.

"See you again soon," Soda said. "I hope."

"Yeah, maybe it want be under such bad circumstances next time," I said smiling. He smiled back. I opened the door and went into my house. I walked straight to my room where my parents wouldn't see me. Even though that was a bad situation, I got something good out of it.

So I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. Let me know what you think. I'm working on the second chapter now so it should be up soon.
