LOL NEW STORY!HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT!

Hi I'm Arisa Cade. My cousin is Johnny Cade. I have long jet black hair and black eyes. I'm five-foot-five and I'm quite strong. People say that I could be his mom or sister. It's kinda creep seeing I'm twenty-two year's old and his mom is like fourtie. I'm in collage for a dagger to be a social worker or a lawyer. I live on the West side of town, where I'm know as 'Socs'. I love cooking and I deeply care for my little cousin that is why I'm now wanting him to come live with us. But I have a feeling that he is dis line my offer to live on the West side. Right now I'm walking to where he normally hangs out, I do know his best friends older brother because I use to hang out with him when I was in high school. My friend's twin is Paul so she hug out with them and I hung out with them too. Good thing I always carry my switchblade with me. Just in cases someone tries to jump me witch would not be the first time it as happen. My parent's even want him to live with us seeing my dad knows how Johnny's dad is, because my dad is Johnny's dad's older brother.

As I walked down the street is was cold out. 'God it's freezing out!' I should have know it would be this cold out it's December. I looked at the houses and for the one Johnny would be at with his friends. I fond the house and walked up to the front door and knocked on the front door. No one answers. I knocked again. This time someone did answer the door. A young man about two years younger then me open the door;dark brown hair that kicked out in the front, broad-shoulder, muscular, eyes like pale blue-green ice.

"Darrel Curtis?" I asked looking at him and he nodded. I smiled."It's good to see you once again." He looked confused at me when I said that.

"Who are you?" He asked me, I frowned."Arisa. From high school." I said looking down.'Guess he forgot.' I thought.

He was silent for a second. Must be thinking about it.

"Good to see you again." He finally said to me I looked back up at him to see him smile.

"Now that you remember me can I come in? It's kinda freezing out here." I asked rubbing my arms. I only has a fall jacket and a sweeter, gloves and a scarf.

"Sure." He said letting me in the house."So how have ya' been?" He asked me while taking my jacket scarf and gloves.

"Good. I just got done my final exams. I had to get away from it all so I came to see you, your brother and their/your friends. You?" We walked into the living room I could see six boy in there. Four where watching Micky Mouse. Two of them where reading. My cousin was one that was reading along with his friend. What was it? Oh yeah Ponyboy.

They all looked at me. I just blinked. They look like they never seen a girl before. Good God!

"Ummmm... Hi?"I said slowy looking at them.

They just blinked.

I took a small step back cues they where starting to creep me out. Darry noticed.

"Guy's this is Arisa. I went to school with her for a while. Arisa this Two-Bit, Dally, Steve and my little brother Soda." He said potting to the boys trunnion back to the T.V. "and the two reading are Ponyboy my kid brother and-"

"Johnny Cade." I said interrupting him

"How do you know his name?" The one with almost white hair asked me. I take it that was Dally.

"Yeah how did you know my name and why the hell do you look like me?" Johnny asked me.

"Good God. Ok to answer both questions at once; I'm Johnny's cousin. My last name is Cade too. I have not seen Johnny since he was like three years old."

"So you would have been what six?" Steve asked me.

"No. I was nine."I replied."And if you say one thing about my height I swear I will go right over to you and strangle ya'. And I'm not afraid of you or any...will not all of you. Darry I could possible fear. But the rest you nah."I said like it was nothing.

"So that means your twenty-two years old?" Pony asked me I only nodded.

"Your older then Dar!" Two-Bit laughed.

"That also means I'm older then you kiddie." I said as I looked to Johnny."Johnny can I talk to you in the kitchen for a minute?"

They gave me a weird look, other then Darry who sat down in a arm chair.

Johnny got up and went into the kitchen followed by me seeing is that I don't know where the kitchen is.

-Kitchen+

"Johnny my mom and dad where wondering and me to if you wanted to live with us. My dad told me about his little brother who is your dad. My mom and dad would love it if you come." I said to Johnny who just looked at the floor.

"Why now? Why not last year or the year before." He asked in a quite tone that I could barely hear.

"When you truned four-teen I sent you a letter and never got nothing back, then last year my mom & dad sent it. We still got nothing back. Now this year I wanted to come and find you. And I'm glad I did. Dad thought your dad killed you or something like that. But I'm glad your ok. Well as far as ok can go."

"So I can move out and live with you and your mom and dad?" He asked me looking at me.

I nodded."Yeah. But you need to know two things first."

"What are they?"

"One-Be home before ten on school days and twelve on holidays. Two-If you smoke, you can only have on pack a mouth."

Johnny seemed surprised."Is that all?I thought one was going to be I had to look like people from the West side of town."

"Sorry but I just remembered the third thing." I smiled at him while he looked at the floor."Be your self."

His head shot up I swore I hear it creak."You mean it?"

I nodded."Yeah, do I look like a Socs?" I asked him his face went a little red,"Never mind, Johnny." he let out a sigh.

We walked back into the living room where Soda, Dally, Steve and Two-Bit were playing Poker. Darry was watching the football game on T.V and Ponyboy was reading or trying to read.

I sat down on the coutch and start to watch the game while Johnny went to join the Poker game.

After about an hour the game was done. Steve Two-Bit and Soda where fighting and started wresting . Dally got in then Johnny. I was watching in amusement as it look like they where trying to kill each other. Now they where starting to kill each other...Pony and Darry get in it too.

I went for the remote and truned the T.V on and started watching T.V. I looked at them still fighting. Wounder what they are fight about anyway? Oh what the hell. I shut the T.V off and got down on the floor and whispered into Johnny's ear."Want to tag team them?" I whispered and only to get a nod from him, I helped him out, then I started wrestling too. Darry was smart to see when I joined in. He wanted to help me but I just pined him down to the ground and laughed at him.

Johnny was wrestling with Pony and Soda and Steve where wrestling and Two-Bit was getting beaten by Dally. I was just sitting on Darry's back holding his arms to his back. I made sure to keep him down.

Soda and Steve hit a cabinet that had a picture in it. I did not see what it was of but the boys did not notice. I got off Darry I cote it before it hit Soda or Steve on the head. They stopped and looked up at me. Everyone stopped.

"What happen?" Darry asked to no one really.

"This picture almost fell. It would be a shame if the frame was broken and the picture get lost." I said putting the picture back up where it was. I now know what the picture was. It was the last one they had as a family.

"Good cachet Arisa. Just like in football." Darry said to me. I only nodded.

"Johnny you coming tonight or when?" I asked looking over at Johnny.

The guys looked confussed."I think tonight."Johnny finely said then he noticed the looks on the other boys faces."Arisa parents wanted to know if I wanted to live with them...They have been sending me a card since I was four-teen."

"I sent I was sending you stuff from collage too Darry. One time I almost got expelled for not getting my homework in on time. I told them I was working on something and it was a secret." I said looking at Darry.

"We never got anything from you." Darry said looking at me.

"Damn. I will have to go to the post office tomoreo and check it out. It was nice meatting you all. I hope to see you around again soon." I smiled at them and head for the door. Johnny followed me. The others came too. I looked at my watch."Can I use your phone?"I asked looking at Darry.

"Sure. It's in the living room on the coffee table." Darry said looking at me, I nodded and went into the living to call my mom and dad up.

The boys where talking. Dally sound kinda uneasy about this. Same with the rest of them. Darry was the only one who seem to trust me. As soon as I was done I hug up and walked to the door.

"Ok, my dad will be here in about five minutes." I said putting my shoes on I took out a piece of paper."Here if you want to know anything about whats going on at the house just call that number at any time, or even come by for a visit." I handed it to Darry, because I knew he could keep it safe.

"I hope to see you all before Christmas." I said smiling at them,"if not Marry Christmas and Happy New Year." I heard car pull up, I looked out the window to see my dad in his old car."See ya guys." I waved and Johnny just waved good-bye saying he will see them tomoreo.

I opened the door and let Johnny get in first then I got in and shut the door.

"Hello there Johnny how have 'ya been?" My father asked Johnny while keeping his eyes on the road.

"Good...Sir." Johnny said in almost a whisper, I could not help but giggle some my father chuckled.

"That's good, and you don't have to call me 'sir' just call me Jack. Your aunt and I where worried about you but I should have know you would be ok. Arisa tried to skip a few days of collage to look for you but she could not miss any more days then she had. But we are glad you staying."

God my father talks a lot. We finally got home. Johnny look like he could fall sleep any minute.

"Hey I will show you your room and my room so you know where to go if you need anything. I will save to tore for tomoreo." I said walking up to the front door and opening it, while my dad put his car away.

"Thanks..." Johnny said his face was a little red. I take it, it was not from the cold ether.

I smiled at him."You can just call me just about anything. Other then shorty. Call me that and I will have you in a head lock so fast you would not even know what happen."I took off my jacket boots, gloves, skarf and put them away. I took Johnny's jaket and put it away too. He did not really want to part with it.

I took his hand I broth him up the staries."Ok the fourth door on the right is yours and I'm right across from you. The bathroom is at the end of the hall way my mom and dads room is two doors to the left of mine when you are coming out, and the other rooms are for gust." I told him he just blinked and nodded and open the door. He took a step back some."Something wrong?"I walked up next to him.

"This is my room?" He asked in amazement, in his room was a double bed, a dresser, a few painting, a mirroe over the dresser, and on the dress was a small contaner that said hair grease'

"Yeah. You like it?"

"Yeah...it's so big...thanks...sis...do you mind if I call you that?" He asked me nervously.

I smiled and shook my head." No I don't mind. I always wanted alittle brother." I laughed while Johnny turned back into the room."See ya' in the morning." I gave him a hug and walked across the hall and into my room.

Now my room was a hole lot messier then Johnny's room seeing is that I have been away at collage. But I love my how my room is. I know where my stuff is too. I went and got ready for bed. I was beat tired for the day.

R&R EVERYONE! HOPE YOU LIKED IT!
