"It was the first day of school. I had English first thing in the morning. It seemed as if we had seven-to-ten new girls in our school; but the one that stood out to me the most was the blonde in the red leather jacket, red Chucks, and a bandana of the same color to top it all off."
A/N; This is not my first Outsiders story! I have millions. . . hehe! Anyways, I do not own The Outsiders, the Queen by the name of S.E. Hinton does! Also, the plot is mine! Anywho, lets get this party- I mean story- begin!
(Also, Johnny and Dallas are alive!)
Chapter One; Classes[Ponyboy]
When I walked out to the sunrise from the comfort of my house, I had two things on my mind; the first day of school and whatever the heck Two-Bit was bickering about. Normally, I would've walked with Johnny, but he had to go early before his old man woke up and beat him before school. So, we're meeting him there. I had told him just to stay with us last night, but he had refused. I have no idea why. Maybe Darry knew.
"Are you even listening to me?" Two-Bit's bickering suddenly came to a stop as he turned to me.
"Huh?" I replied stupidly. Like I said, I hadn't been listening; school was taking up as much of my thoughts as it could possibly take.
"I was saying how Kathy was being a jerk about her teacher last night. . . she's not very fond of her."
"Oh."
"Kid, you alright?" asked Two-Bit. "You look real sick- like you're so nervous you're sick to your stomach."
"Yeah, I guess." I said. I mean, Two-But had a right to be worried. The only other time I'd been like this was before a huge track meet. I'd full on padded out from nervousness the day before! "I mean, it's my first year of high school, and I'm not even supposed to be in high school!"
"Shoot," Two-Bit grinned. "If you wasn't supposed to be here the you wouldn't be on the front steps right now! Catch ya later!" Two-Bit walked off.
I was about to say something about skipping seventh grade when I realized what he'd said. So I just stupidly said, "Okay. . ." to myself while breathing in and taking in the scene. Soon enough, I found myself walking towards the front doors of the school, and to my locker. It was pretty close to the front doors. When I walked in, there was a set of lockers on either side of the hallway, then another set with a classroom in between seperating the two sets. I stopped. I had locker nine-eighty-three.* The lockers in the school sure were numbered weird.
After I unloaded my backpack, I pulled my schedule out from the back pocket in my jeans. It read:
Curtis, Micheal Ponyboy
Freshman
Advisory: Evans, T. - Focus Group
First: Syme, H. - English
Second; Taylor, M. - Math
Third; Phillips, G. - History
Fourth; Strait, D. - gym (track)
Fifth; Syme, H. - Enrichment
Sixth; Bordon, P. - Spanish
Seventh; Rhode, S. - Science
So I have Mrs. Taylor Evans for advisory. Maybe this won't be too bad. I had her sister for enrichment last year.
By the time I found the classroom, I'd asked a million people where it was- and I always got the same answer: "It's the easiest classroom to find." Then, when I asked this cute red head, I found out she was in the same focus group as me and that she knew where it was. She also explained to me that you have the same advisory class your whole time here, and, instead of going to seventh everyday like most schools on a block day, we go to first everyday. I didn't mind, because English is my best subject!
Focus group was normal. I noticed a few unfamiliar faces but I figured they were regulars here, older than me- people I haven't got to meet yet. Johnny was in my class, and the red head, who I'd learned was a Soc name's Cherry Valence, sat across the room with a short dark-haired girl. As expected, I sat by Johnny. The teacher basically gave us a run down of how this place works, procedures, etc.; she was genuinely a nice teacher.
I left focus group when the bell rang, went to my locker to grab my English stuff, and walked in right as the bell rang! I stood in front of the door, line everyone else, while the teacher gave assigned seats.
I had officially started my first day of high school.
