This is my first 'The Outsiders' fan fiction so I hope you like it!
Rated T for later chapters.
Read please!
Blindness. A terrible thing. Blind can mean you have no sight. But what I am referring to is the kind that leaves a poor fat kid out of a kick ball game on the playground.
The kind that keeps the not-so-pretty girl at home during prom.
Like when you see some hood walking down the street and you walk faster than needed. That's the one.
Back in Junior High when some girl wore white pants or a skirt on the day she got her period.
Words in the halls become more than rumors. They change people. Making the world a bitter, worthless place.
Gossip, as it is nicknamed, grows. Want an example? 'Tommy likes Sue' - 'Sue and Tommy are dating' - 'Did you hear that Tommy and Sue were caught lip-locking yesterday' - 'They try to deny it. How cute?'
Never tell the story, if it's not the original.
Lies spread around schools like an infectious, deadly disease. No way to kill them. Just watch them build.
Poor Tommy and Sue left dumb-struck, upset, confused, and looking for a cure. Their school sure needs one.
Why do teachers not do a thing to help? Aren't they supposed to be role models? Shouldn't they be comforting Tommy and Sue and after punishing the delinquents who started the rumor?
That seems like the right thing. But what if they had it coming? What if Tommy was jerk and Sue usually kept the gossip in the system?
What if karma was taking its toll on them?
In school, there are always those best friends who are opposite genders. The girl is a tomboy and the guy is a punk or a skater or whatever you want to call it.
Let's just say she gets picked on by some dude because she's not the cutest doll around. Her friend will help repair those feelings. Looks like Sue found fresh blood to boil.
She could say: Wasn't it so brave of Joe to punch Mike for Sally?
That would get Lucy's attention: I heard he told Mike off and that was it. But Joe punched him? I've know Joe all my life.
Sue's light bulb lights up. She never cared for him anyway: Well maybe he's more cruel and violent than you thought.
After Sue walks away, Lucy won't speak to Joe ever again. A little over the top but, you get what I'm trying to say.
Lies hurt. And their scars are even worse.
Blindness started all of this.
Jocks are meant look like they take steroids.
Cheerleaders are blond and anorexic.
Nerds wear clunky glasses, get straight A's and snort when they laugh.
Goths believe in vampires and cut themselves.
Stereotypes…
This story is about a Socy girl and a Greasy boy and their blind town…
How was it?
