Summery- The Curtis's have a sister. She's just like the other girl greasers except she has one problem. She's deaf.

Chapter One.
My name is Alexandra. I'm 16 years old and I live with my twin brother Soda and our other two brothers. Ponyboy who's fourteen and Darry who's twenty. Our parents died a while back and Darry has taken care of us since. Me and Soda were both born a month prematurely. Soda is the lucky one. He escaped the premature birth with nothing but has a tendency to get sick more often than most people. I, however, wasn't so lucky. I was born completely deaf. I can read peoples lips meaning I can tell what people are saying by looking at their lips while they talk. I use sign language to talk with my family and the gang.
The gang is Keith Matthews, but everyone calls him Two-Bit, Dallas Winston, but everyone calls him Dally, Steve Randle, Soda's best friend, and Johnny Cade. Johnny is sorta like the gangs pet. He has dark hair and wide, expressive eyes that remind Ponyboy of a lost puppy. He's jumpy and nervous because he got jumped by some Socs a few months. Socs are our enemies. Their the type of kids who get in the paper for doing something good one day then get in the paper the next day for doing something bad. We're Greasers. We're all Greasers, the whole gang. Our name comes from all the grease we use to slick back our long hair. I'm a Greaser girl. Always have been and I always will be.
I have name signs for almost everyone. My name sign for myself is happy with an A. My name sign for Soda is also happy but with an S, my name sign for Ponyboy is smart with a P, my name sign for Darry is ordering with a D, my name sign for Two-Bit is funny with a K, my name sign for Johnny is scared with a J, my name for Dally is dangerous with a D, and my name sign for Steve is lazy with an S. One rule about name signs is a hearing person can't name themselves. A deaf person has to do it.
Anyway, that morning, I was still in bed at 10:30. I was woken up by Soda, but I didn't want to get out of bed. People say I look a lot like him. I should considering I'm his twin.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see Soda come in again.
"Come on, Alex, you have to get up." Soda signed.
"I know. Just five more minutes." I signed back.
Soda then took my arm and pulled me up so I was in a sitting position.
"Come on. It's a Saturday morning. I should be sleeping in." I signed.
"Darry wants you downstairs in ten minutes." Soda signed.
"Tell him I'll be right down." I signed back.
Soda nodded. "The gang is here to."
I nodded and Soda left, closing my door behind him. I got up and chose my outfit which consited of dark blue jeans and a grey shirt. I put on my shoes and went downstairs to see the gang. My day had begun.
