Summary: What if it wasn't Pony who got jumped by the Socs, or who fell asleep in the lot. What if it was his sister, Halley? This is what she goes through as she goes through the events of the book.

This is my second Outsiders fanfic. Most of the chapter is taken out of the book since it is about there descriptions but I will change things later on. But most of the main stuff will stay the same.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Outsiders.


I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I only had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was remembering how whenever I went to see a Paul Newman movie with my brother, Ponyboy, he always wished that he looked like Paul Newman. His own looks aren't too bad he has light-brown, almost-red hair and he has greenish-gray eye he's fifteen. Which is only one year older than me. He always wished that they were more gray since for some odd reason he hate most guys that have green eyes. My hair is darker than Pony's but I have blue eyes. Not bright but still blue and sometimes gray. I had a long way home and no company. I usually go by myself anyway because I like to watch movies undisturbed. Ponyboy likes movies just as much as I do but he had homework he had to do. I could have called my oldest brother Darrel who we all call Darry to get me, or I could have gotten Two-Bit to come and get me in his car or walk with me. I don't use my head and it drives Darry nuts since they say I'm smart. But I think there are two main types of smart; book smart, which I have and then there is common sense which is like street smarts. I may have book smarts but I lack common sense. I was a couple blocks from home when I decided that I didn't like walking anymore. There was a black mustang following me. I started to walk faster but I knew that it was no use even before four Socs got out. Most Socs don't usually jump greaser girls but I was the exception. I am the only greaser girl in a gang. The only reason I am considered part of the gang is for my three older brothers; Darry, Soda and Pony. Since my parents died eight months back, we four get to stay together as long as we stay out of trouble. We are careful not to get caught when we can't. I also could have gotten one of the gang to come with me but like I've said I don't use my head. The Socs surrounded me and I didn't say anything.

"Well what do we have here, a little greasy girl? We're going to do you a favor, girly. How does a nice hair cut sound?" He had on a blue madras shirt. They cussed me in a low voice. I couldn't think of anything to say there's not too much that you can say while you're waiting to be jumped. So I stayed quiet.

"Need a haircut?" The blond pulled out a blade.

I thought of something to say "No." I backed up from the knife, which meant I backed right in to one of them. They had me down in a second. They had my arm, legs pinned, and one on them was on my elbows. I could smell leather saving lotion and stale tobacco and I wondered if I would suffocate before they could do anything. I tried to fight them and I almost did but they tightened their grip and hit me a few times. So I lay still.

"How would you like that hair cut just below the chin?" He held to my throat. I went wild, knowing that they could kill me. I started screaming for Soda, Darry, anyone. One of them put there filthy hand over my mouth. I bit and felt the tasted blood running through my teeth. He cursed at me and them slugged me again. One of them was trying to put some kind of cloth in my mouth. While another was yelling, "Shut her up."

Then I heard the sounds of footsteps running toward me and the Socs jumped up and took off. Someone was pulling me up by my armpits. It was Darry.

"They didn't hurt you to bad did they?" He was shaking me and I wished that he would stop. I was fine.

"I'm okay Darry quite shaking me."

He stopped. "I'm sorry."

Darry is never sorry for what he does. He looks exactly like my dad yet he acts the opposite. My dad was only forty when he died but he looked twenty-five. A lot of people mistaken Darry and dad were brothers. Darry is six-feet-two, and broad-shouldered and muscular. He has dark-brown hair that kicks out in front and a slight cowlick in the back. His eyes are his eyes are his own. He's got eyes that are like two pieces of pale blue-green ice. They've got a determined set to them, like the rest of him. He looks older than twenty-though, cool and smart. He would look really hansom if his eyes weren't so cold. He doesn't understand anything that isn't just plain fact. But Darry always uses his head.

Soda came jogging back to us. I then knew that the footsteps I heard was the gang coming to rescue me. Soda sat down by me.

"Got a little cut up huh?"

I looked at him as if he was insane "What?" He pulled out a handkerchief, and wet it with his tongue and pressed to side of my head.

"You're bleeding like a stuck pig."

"Really?"

"Yea look!" He showed me the end of the handkerchief, which was reddened almost like magic. "Did they pull a blade on you?"

"Yea." They must have slipped when they got up to run or tried to shut me up.

Soda is the most handsome person I know and I'm not saying that just because I'm his little sister he has movie star looks. He not as talk as Darry but he is a little slimmer. His face somehow manages to be reckless and thought full at the same time. He has dark-gold hair that he combs back- long and silky and straight- and in the summer, the sun bleaches his hair to a shining wheat-gold. His eyes are very different than they are dark brown- living, dancing, recklessly laughing that can be gentle and laughing one minute and blazing with anger. He has Dad's eye but Soda. Soda is one of a kind though.

The gang came running back to us along with Pony. They were the four boys that accepted me even though I'm a girl and younger the main reason they did is that I'm Darry, Soda, and Pony's kid sister and I keep my mouth shut.


Sorry it's so short and I know lots of parts are out of the book but I didn't really know how to do that part. Please review. If I get good reviews, I will continue. Next chapter will be how the gang act around Halley
