Like I said I based this off another story AND this is my first fan fic... So don't kill me. I will never the own The Outsiders (sigh)

I stood at the corner next to Mags waiting for her brother to pick us up. "He's not answering."

"He's probably driving," I defended him even though I hated him. We waited, another two smokes later he still wasn't there. "Let's just crash at the Curtis's is a five minute walk." I was very impatient. She shrugged and followed me down the road. She lit up again offering me a puff and I shook me head. "Have you heard a singer that smokes? It's terrible." I said as we turned on their street. Mags just puffed as an answer, she doesn't talk much.

Mags got hit all the time and keeping quiet made the punishments less often and less forceful. Mags was tall at 5'9, skinny; she had blonde hair that just past her shoulders, and blue eyes. She was very quiet and jumped at almost anything. Mags could've been a model if it didn't cost so much and if she wasn't scared of everything. I was surprised that I was so close with Mags because we were polar opposites.

I was super short at 4'9 (unlike my giant of a brother), everyone said I was skinny but I thought I was fat; I had brown hair that was ombre blonde at the bottom that ended at my waist, I had violet eyes. My eyes scared people so I didn't have many friends, plus my big brother was scary. I was like him; I was loud, blunt, and reckless.

I checked my phone and cursed, my brother was about to call. I hurried up and ran into the house with Mags in tow. I rushed into a bedroom and Mags locked the door. The second I sat down his icon popped up meaning he called. "Hello?"

"Kandie cane. I miss you." He said.

"Steve I miss you too. When you comin' home?" I asked sweetly.

"Another month hun'. Just in time for the fourth" He assured me.

"But, you'll miss my birthday and my show!" I whined.

He sighed, "I know, but we're both coming home so it's a fair trade."

"Alright." I huffed. We said our goodbyes and I said "Nighty, night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." When I was little Steve would say that to me before he went to bed.

Mags sat next to me and I softly cried into her side. Steve didn't know that every time he called I cried afterwards. A few minutes later I sat up and wiped my tears. She helped me fix my make-up and we left the room. The boys all sat out there except for Steve and Soda looking at me. Mags quickly left, not wanting the attention, leaving me with five guys. I silently cursed her and sat on the floor. Dally scooped me up and put me on Johnny's lat. I smiled as he blushed. Dally broke the silence, "So what did your brother have to say?"

"Usual, he's coming home with Soda in a month." I answered. "Johnny, I'm heavy let me get off your lap." I said starting to get up and a arm flew around my waist.

"You are not heavy, you're barely 90 pounds!" Johnny fought. I attempted to wriggle from his grasp, but he had a good hold on me.

"Johnny, grab her ass for me." Pony smirked. Johnny quickly threw his hands up and I lunged at him. Darry caught me before I could do anything.

"That's it you two, I've had enough!" He yelled.

"Well tell him to stop being a perv and we wouldn't have this problem!" I reasoned.

"For the next two weeks I want you within 5 feet of each other. I don't care how much you whine. I understand you barely got along when your brothers were here, but this is ridiculous! So for the next two weeks, same room. If one of you has to go to the bathroom the other will be in there turned around. I don't care how long it takes." He complained.

"But,-" I started.

"Wanna make it three?" He asked and I gruffed.

"She has rehearsals." Pony added.

"How long are your rehearsals?" Darry asked turning me slightly towards him.

I laughed. "Oh, wait your serious. Well, the shortest are about three hours the longest are about six, it depends. Plus, next week is tech week and that's a whole day thing."

"Then you get off easy." Darry concluded, pleased with himself. "If I put you down will you hurt him."

"No promises."

"Well, that comment wasn't okay. go to bed." He let me go.

I've never seen him move so fast. I walked into his bedroom to him shirtless. "You like?"

"Go to hell." I crawled into bed and he followed suit.

"That's my side."

"To bad, I got here first." I smiled taking up more room.

I woke up to Pony's arm around me, I realized where his hand was and I kicked him int the shin. "What the-"

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME YOU PERV!" I yelled and Darry came running in. "Darry, he hand his hand on my-"

"I don't care. Thanks for waking me up." He muttered walking away.

"I'm getting in the shower. Wouldn't it be easier if we showered together?" He smirked.

"Go to hell." I grabbed clothes and followed him into the bathroom. I turned away as he climbed into the shower and changed. I felt the huge knot underneath my hair and I flipped my head over began to brush. I was still at it when he walked out.

"You can look if you want." I could hear the smile on his face. I cursed him out and continued to brush my hair. "Can we go?" I sighed and flipped my head back over. I sat on the couch and started on my hair again. "So what time is your rehearsal?"

"10 it's 9 now." I confirmed still brushing the huge knot at the base of my hair. Dally walked in and laughed at me. Johnny on the other hand asked if I needed help. "See, Johnny's a gentlemen."

'Kandie it's quarter to 10." Johnny warned. I flipped my hair back over and tied it in a bun. "Did you get it out?" I shook my head.

Pony walked me to rehearsal and was surprisingly silent. I walked in and started to talk to Toni. I saw him watching me and I waved. Soon I forgot all about him. Rehearsal can always make your day better.

So chapter one done. PLEASE REVIEW I WANT TO NOW HOW BAD I SUCK!
