My name is Skyler Curtis but everyone usually calls me Sky. I'm 13 years old and have three older brothers. Ponyboy is 15, Sodapop is 17, and Darry is 19. Our parents died just over a year ago which made Darry pony's, soda's, and my legal guardian.
I am a greaser and I hang out with my brothers and the rest of the gang, Steve, Two-bit, Johnny, and Dallas but we all call him Dally.
Since I am the youngest of the group and the only girl too, everybody in town(mainly the Socs) see me as weak and that I can't take care of myself or fight my own battles. The fact that I have three older brothers that are extremely overprotective of me doesn't help me in the least bit, especially when the gang is the same way. The gang loves me to death and wants to protect me but they are overprotective like my brothers because they know that my brothers will skin them alive if they don't make sure that I don't get hurt.
Sometimes every ones protectiveness of me gets so annoying, I mean don't get me wrong I love that my brothers and the gang love m so much that they would die for me if they had to. But, sometimes they just go a little too far. I can't walk to school or the lot or the park by myself, I always have to have one of my brothers or the gang with me at all times. And when school ends I have to wait outside the school for Steve, Two-bit, Pony, or Johnny to walk me home. I mean its like they are purposely trying to define me as weak. I can take care of myself, I just wish that they would realize that. But they never will because all they can think about is protecting me and keeping me safe, but in reality they aren't protecting me their hurting me.
Since we are greasers we are naturally enemies with the Socs who are the rich kids of the town, where we are just the low life hoods. Since I can't go anywhere by myself this makes me the perfect target for the Socs. My brothers never notice the little bumps and bruises that I come home with from school because I make sure to keep them covered. I can't let my brothers find out that I am being bullied and beat up by the Socs everyday at school when Steve, Two-bit, Pony, or Johnny aren't with me, they will just flip and then go off and beat up the Socs who hurt me and get in trouble for it and they could possibly be taken away from me and I just can't let that happen. No, I won't let that happen. My brothers may be protective of me, but I am just as protective of them.
At the moment Pony and Two-bit are walking me home from school, Johnny would normally be with us but his old man beat him pretty bad last night so he stayed home. I'm so happy that I had cover-up in my backpack so that I could cover up the huge bruise on the side of my face and the cut. The Socs don't make it a habit to hit me in the face because they don't want anyone to know what they are doing to me, but today I guess they forgot about that because they slapped me hard and one of they cut me just above the eyebrow with his knife.
When I see the house in sight I take off sprinting, Pony and Two-bit are to consumed in their conversation to notice until I am almost a block away from them. I can hear them running behind me, well I can hear Pony running Two-bit rarely runs unless he absolutely has to. Pony may be fast, but I am faster then him so by the time I reach the front door he is still half a block behind me. I can feel the sweat dripping down my face, so I take the arm of my sweatshirt and wipe it off.
I go inside and I can barely set my backpack down before Soda picks me up and starts spinning me around, I start giggling uncontrollable. He finally sets me down and I stumble a bit because I'm so dizzy, huh I didn't think that Soda would be home this early he is rarely home before me. After my vision returns to normal I see Darry is home too and sitting in the recliner, him and Soda must have got off work early.
Soda sits back down on the couch and I turn around to say hi to Darry.
"Hi Dar-" I start to say but I get cut off by Darry's booming voice
"What the hell happened to your face!?" Darry yells as he stands up and comes to stand in front of me
Hi guys! This is the first chapter of my new story, if I get positive reviews I'll continue the story and possibly post the second chapter today. If I continue the story I haven't set up an update schedule yet. I've just started back up at college so it all depends on how much free time I have with my new schedule. Hope everyone likes it! Please review if you want me to continue the story!
