The next morning when I woke up I stubbed my foot on my night stand. I then managed to hit my head on a bed post. Once I finally got my cloths on it took me half an hour to untangle my hair. When I went downstairs for breakfast, things only went down hill.
The moment I walked in the room everyone stopped talking. I could feel all of their eyes following me as I walked into the kitchen. I felt my appetite leave and just took a glass of water. I downed it quickly and started to leave. Though someone grabbed my arm and I turned around to see Pony.
"You really should eat something." He told me. I just shook my head.
"Not hungry." I told him, "Do you think Soda would drive me to Megan's?" I asked. Pony thought for a moment.
"I'm not sure." He told me, "He really doesn't want you to get hurt. I'll go talk to him though." He assured me. I smiled at him.
"Thanks." I told him, "For trusting me." I added." He gave me a knowing smile.
"Don't worry about it." After than Pony left to go and... er... talk. To put it nicely you could say they were just having a very loud conversation that may or may not have contained some... choice... words. Finally though the grumbling Soda agreed to take me. Though I wasn't able to stay for the weekend.
…
"Thanks Soda!" I called as I got out of the car. I was just going to be staying at Megan for dinner and Soda was going to pick me up after.
"Rae!" He called to me. I turned around to look at him.
"Please." He grabbed my hand, "Stay out of trouble." I nodded.
"I'll do my best." I promised.
If only I had been able to keep that promise.
…
"You know, you're prettier than you think." Megan told me. We were having a girls' night. Cherry had brought her friend Marcia along too and we were all gossiping and doing each other's nails and hair. I felt like one of the girls you would see in a movie.
Megan had been working on my hair for the past half an hour. She put curls in it and glitter and by the time she was done, I looked pretty good. My normally pretty strait hair was now in banana curls and about 3 inches shorter. It was shiny and glittered in the light every time I moved. She also did my nails. They were just a clear coat with sparkles though, nothing much.
The time was passing much quicker than I thought. In no time it was four. Megan and I said we would go for a walk, just to get some fresh air. We told her parents that we would be home in time for dinner.
After walking around for an hour I wasn't feeling to good.
"Megan?" I asked her. She turned to me. It was clear to see she was worried, I wouldn't blame her. Even saying that one word my voice sounded tired and weak.
"Rae? Are you okay? You don't sound to good." She told me.
"No, Megan. I don't feel to good either. I think I'm just going to walk home. It isn't that far anyways." I reasoned. We were pretty near the greaser line and I don't really look like one. I'm sure I'll be fine. I mean, who would attack a 12 year old girl anyways?
"You sure?" I'm positive Cherry or my mum could drive you home." Megan assured me. I immediately said no. I was stating to feel vomiting sick. Goodness, I can see it now. Me throwing up in the back of some upper class car. Not gonna risk that.
"No Megan, that's fine." I told her, "My house isn't to far from here." That was a lie it would take me a while to get back, but once I get to the greaser side I'll be fine. People don't cross to other sides, that against the rules... right? Yea, there must be some rule book, the Socs can't just come over to the Greaser side and jump me! And even if they do come over to our side, why would they want to jump me?
"If you're sure." Megan told me. I nodded once more and we went our ways.
Turns out I had nothing to worry about. I made it to the Greaser side no problem. I was walking kind of fast, I didn't want anyone to have a reason to be mad at me. Though now I'm on the Greaser side, I'm walking at my own pace. I was think about Peter. Gee, he sure was a looker. I wish my family didn't care so much about the sides. I might have been able to date him or at least know him better if Dad and Soda didn't care. At least Pony in on my side.
"Hey Grease." Someone greeted me. I turned around. I must have been so lost in thought I failed to noticed and car pull up and two men get out.
"L-Leave me alone." I told them. I kept my head low and tried to walk by them but the large one with the big ears just laughed and push me back.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"We just want to have some fun." The other finished. He gave me a smile and I cringed. He's teeth we yellowy and looked like they would fall out of his mouth any moment.
"I said leave me alone!" I yelled.
"Feisty, eh?" Big ears laughed. He grabbed my waist and I started to freak out. I punched and screamed, just praying that someone would hear me, that someone would find me.
"Shut her up!" Yellow teeth yelled. He put and hand over my mouth and I bit down, hard. I spat when I felt blood in my mouth. Yellow teeth screamed and pulled his hand away.
"She bit me!" He yelled, "Why I otta!" He told me and punched me in the stomach. I doubled over in pain and kept yelling, though it was quieter now.
"Is that how to shut you up?" Yellow teeth asked. He punched me again, this time in the face. After a moment of this big ears joined in and they started to kick me. After a while I could fight back anymore. My body when limp. They both stopped.
"Come on." Big ears said to Yellow Teeth, "Let's get out of here." They ran back to their car, leaving me in the side walk. Once I say their car turn the corner I started to craw towards the nearest build so I could lean on something. Though I was one there for a moment. The pain was to much, I passed out.
My last thought before I blacked out?
Man, I wish Dad was here to say I told you so.
Okay! A twist! Please review, I would love to know what you are thinking... How do you think the gang is going to react? Who is going to find her? Important questions! Please review... It'll make me smile!
