Hey guys! My name is TheMuffinChild, and this is my first published story on this site! I'll admit to you guys right now, I'm writing this because I TOTALLY HAVE A CRUSH ON JOHNNY. So I guess you can say that Gracie is kinda based off of me. I'm trying to develop her as a "better" version of myself (looks like me, but prettier; acts like me, but braver, etc.). This story probably won't be *that* long, but I don't really know, cuz I only have a loose understanding of what I plan to do with the rest of the plot. But we'll see.

Also, I know this type of story ("main character falls in love with my own character") is kind of cliché. But to be honest with you guys, I HATE cliché. I LOATHE IT! So that will be just about the only standard love-story thing you see from me. Expect plot twists. Lots of them.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Please favorite and review if you are inclined to do so! And please be nice, it's my first time! :)

"Hey! Greaser girl!"

Ugh. Stupid Socs. They were obviously drunk, lookin' for a broad, any broad. Didn't care even if it was a greaser like me. I would normally be trash to them.

I ignored them and continued walking. I was pretty sure they'd realize exactly who they were tryin' to get a date with if I paid them no attention.

"Come on, broad. Come hang with us!" A different Soc slurred. Yep, I thought. Definitely drunk. I started to walk a little faster.

"It ain't very nice to ignore us like that, greaser girl. Show some respect!"

They were mad now. My heart started beating just a bit faster. Who knew what a bunch of drunk Socs could do to me if I wasn't careful?

"Hey, broad! Don't be such a bitch and come with us!" My hands began to shake. The Soc who had just spoken turned to his gang. "Hey, guys, don't you think she's a right little bitch?"

The rest of the Socs laughed.

"Come with us, slut, and nobody gets hurt!"

I started to back away, but soon reached the end of the lot, and accidentally backed up into an adjacent alley. The Socs quickly advanced. I was trapped now.

"Hey, bitch, that ain't no good way to be treatin' us fine, respectable gentlemen!" The Socs laughed. I said nothing. I was too scared to speak.

"Yeah, let's see if anyone ever finds you here, half-dead or worse, lyin' here in this alley!" Another one hissed. The Soc who had first yelled at me to go with them violently pushed me down onto the hard ground. Then he pulled out his switchblade. I involuntarily whimpered in fear. Would they kill me? Could they?

He made a long gash from the back of my ear to the bottom of my chin. "Wouldn't wanna cut your pretty face," he snickered. Then the Soc threw a few punches at my head.

"Bastard." I whispered raspily between blows.

"Shut up, bitch!"

I suddenly felt a sharp pain and a warm wetness on the side of my neck. I gasped in pain as my vision started to turn fuzzy. "Help!" I yelled weakly. "Someone, anyone…" It was no use. The world faded to black as I fell into unconsciousness.

Oh, the drama! Sorry this chapter was so short, I didn't have much time to write, and wanted to at least publish something! The next chapter will be soon, I promise.

XOXO,
