Ch. 1......................

Well let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Hayden Elizabeth Curtis. I was named after my great grandmother. I'm 13 years old, I have light brown hair, bright green eyes, I'm 5"4. I have three older brothers. Darrel he's the oldest at 21. He takes care of me and my two other brothers. I really respect Darry, he quit is dream job just to take care of his family. I love Darry a lot, but most of the time we don't see eye to eye. Then theres Sodapop, he's 17 almost 18. He's a very fun loving guy. I love him to pisces. He always knows how to cheer me up when I'm having a bad day. He's also very gullable. My last older brother is Ponyboy. He's a dreamer and easy to talk to. He always knows how to help me out. If I was in a delima and needed advice or just someone to talk to, it would always be Pony.

One of my hobbies is drawing. Everyone says I should sale my paintings/drawings. I love to do landscapes, and I'm very athletic, I used to be on the schools volleyball and softball team but I had to quit due to money issues, But I am on the track and cross country team along with my older brother Ponyboy. I'm really close to all my brothers, but Pony and I have always been the closest. Some people mistake us for twins sometimes. I'm in 8th grade and Ponyboy is in 10th. He got put up a grade. I'm not as smart. I bring home C's and D's, and Pony brings home A's and some B's.

Our gang consists of my brothers, there friends, and myself. Theres 8 of us all together:

Dallas "Dally" Winston - The rebel, he's 18.

Steve - The smartass, he's 17 almost 18.

Keith "Two-Bit" Matthews - The wise cracker, he's 18.

Johnny Cade - The quite one, he's 16.

Johnny is one of mine and Pony's bestfriends. I've always had a soft spot for him because he gets abused by him mother and father. He practically lives at our house, which I like so I won't have to go to bed worried about him. He just feels like another brother to me, actually the whole gang feel like family because were all each other has.

About a year and a half ago, my parents got killed in a auto wreak. Out of my family I would say I took it the worst. I barely talked, hardly ate, I didn't do any of my home work. I was a wreak. I was also having bad nightmares. One day I was at the park sitting on a swing crying about my mom and dad. I heard someone beside me, and when I looked up to see who it was, Ponyboy was standing there. Once he saw that I was crying , he began to cry too. That's the day I cracked. I told Pony all my feelings and the things on my mind. He just held me and told me that things would soon get better and I always had my brothers there to help me. From that day on my life got better.
