CHAPTER 4

So now we are pulling up in the parking lot of the mall when Jason looked at me in surprise. "What are we doing here? This is the Socs mall and what if we get into a fight with these Socs!" Jason got closer and made sure he didn't yell to loud. He didn't want so much attention. "Listen calm down! We are going to shop here and if you get into a fight I will stop it. Trust me I will stop it. Now come on guys, let's go!" I said hopping out of the truck following Jason and the boys. Chris, Danny, Greg, Ant, Robert, and Allen got out of the truck and followed us. Chris stopped and said, "Wait a sec. What in the hell are we doing here?" I turned around and laughed. Chris looked at me and gave me a sudden glare. "What? Are all of you trying to tell me that you haven't broken any rules? They come in your territory why can't you go in there's?" I said and motioned them towards the door.

When we walked into the mall everyone stared at us. We walked past many Socs and they stared. Then I saw a group of Socs coming toward us. "Look what the dogs brought in.? Wow smellier than last time. NASTY!" The leader said laughing and pushing Robert back a bit. "Excuse you! I don't know who you are but you aren't about to ruin this day." I yelled at him and stepped up. I got up there and pushed the leader back. "Whoa whoa whoa. Watch it missy. Who are you anyways? I'm Wyatt." Wyatt stepped up and now we are face to face. "I am the new girl buddy so you better watch out!" I said looking him right in the eyes. "Oh! Feisty girl. I like you. You want to ditch these greasers and come hang with the cool kids." Wyatt smiled. I looked at him. I gave him a 'really' look and said in a bratty tone, "Um no! I am a greaser too so you better respect me. You aren't the cool kids because trust me the only thing cool about you is your hair gel. Yea I pointed it out. If you haven't noticed you have a little in your hair so I wouldn't be talking Wally! I will kick your butt so fast it will make your head spin so I suggest you turn around and leave us alone!" he looked at me in shock. He rolled his eyes and walked off.

"Golly you are good at tellin' them off. You could stay awhile if ya don't plan on leavin any time soon. I lie ya as a friend. Cmon' lets go get those bathing suits you where talkin bout. If that is al right with you." Ant said so fast. I wonder if that is his first time hearing someone stand up to a Socs. Now that I think about it, it probably was for all of them. I nodded and we headed back to the bathing suit aisle. Ant was on my tail the WHOLE time. "Okay Ant go pick a bathing suit out with the other guys. Mae sure you get your right size. I don't want anything too big or too. Okay?" I said pushing him forward a bit. He nodded and walked over to the boy's side. I picked out an adorable bikini with purple polka dots and a lime green back ground. I thought it was adorable so I picked it up and headed toward the boys.

Ant had a black and green pair of swim trunks in his hand. He started walking up to me. "How do ya like my swim trunks? I think they look real good." Ant sais smiling. I smiled back, "I like them Ant. Where are the others? We have to check out." I asked looking around. "Oh they are in the car. They didn't like waiting in here. I think Jason is scared of Socs. But cmon lets check out." He said and I looked at him strangely. He nodded and I started to follow him. We checked out and headed out the door when we saw Wyatt and his crew trying to beat the hell out of the truck. "Um what in the hell are you doing? I suggest you hold up buddy boy." I said running toward Chris and the guys. "Oh look who is back. Now we are about to have some real fun boys." Wyatt smiled and started walking toward me. I backed p until I hit a car behind me. "Get away from me! Who do you think I am?" I yelled pushing him smacking lips back. I started running and I turned around and there he was. I did a spinning back kick and then got on top of him and I pulled his leg up to his head. "Oh my goddness! Helllllllllllllp! It hurts so bad." Wyatt yelled. I let him go and they ran. "Yea and don't come back! I told you I would kick your butt.!" I yelled back and I hopped into the back off the truck. "Cmon now Jason and Ant. Chris lets go eat. I know all of you are hungry. After we eat how about we go swimming after this.?" They nodded and we started driving to a place to eat. We drove up in a big place called the Best Burger Place in Town! It was a huge place but hardly anyone was there.

"Alright we are ready to order." We all stared at Rob. "We haven't even sat down yet. We just walked in. Calm down and be patient." Greg said and smiled at our server. "Right this way sir." A chubby lady showed us to a 10 person booth. "Char why don't you get in we are gonna puppy guard you little lady." Allen said smiling. I got in first then Jason then Allen and finally little Ant. On the other side Chris, Danny, Robert and Gregory. "Alright y'all should I start you off with any beverages?" The waitress asked. She looked fairly tired and ready to hit the hay as soon as she had a break. Would it be like that when I started working at the Coffee Café? I could only hope not. "Umm yes ma'am I will take a sweet tea. No lemon please." She started writing that on a note pad and kept on until she got all of our orders. She took our menus and left.

"I hope this is good I am starvin'!" Ant yelled. I laughed and nodded. I scooted up closer to the table as she brought our food out. Greg said thank you and everyone dug in. Everyone had food on their mouth especially Danny, Ant, and Jason. They are hilarious! "Alright since we had a nice snack-dinner thing, lets leave. Haha if y'all are ready anyways." Allen said wiping his mouth and getting out of the booth. Everyone nodded and followed Allen. Greg left the money on the table and we headed to the truck.

"Okay so where to?" Chris asked looking into the bed of the truck. "Umm I suppose to the house bro. I am tired and it is late." I said. "Char you are ALWAYS tired." Greg laughed. "Yea and she is always in bed too." Robert said and laughed lifting one eyebrow. I gave Robert the look and turned to Greg. "Okay I was just kidding mass murderer." Robert said turning to the front. "I was too!" I yelled to the front. Then we started off.

When you can hear the loud roar of a truck coming down a quite neighborhood you wake up and walk outside. "Hey quite it down buddy!" A man yelled. "Yea shut it!" Another man yelled. I flicked them off and the guys laughed.

"Here we are! Home at last Char." Chris yelled. I got out and ran to the door. Chris threw me the keys and I unlocked the door and I hopped on the couch. My face was down and I was fake snoring. "Aw man my girlfriend is asleep. Now what am I going to do." Jason said and jumped on me. "Jason you woke me up." I said sitting up and laughing. "Ha very funny." We started to kiss when my brother walked in. "Hey this is a G rated zone and y'all are like R!" He laughed and sat on the chair. All the other guys started in. Robert stumbled while coming in. "What the-" He fell and everyone bust out laughing. "Wow Robert I would have never thought to say this, I would scream it but, You are special. Special Ed!" Everyone laughed and I went to bed after a few beers. "Alright Char I am going to carry you to bed. I don't want you to fall." Jason said picking me up. "Why I am not that drunk? I mean come on the most I am is buzzed." I said but he wouldn't listen so he carried me to bed.

That night I fell asleep right away. I had the best time for the first few days in Oklahoma and next thing you know I forget that my parents even died. All though I do wish my friends were here. All the friends I have here is guys and I can't hang out with anyone else. I wish I could meet someone new.
