Feelings about the others:

Two-Bit: He is like another big brother to her, who likes to goof around with her and Pony. He tends to get protective over her if need be.

Steve: Her and Steve don't get along as well, they tend to butt heads every now and then.

Dally: She is good friends with Dallas. He had tried to pull the moves on her once before, but that ended real quickly after her brothers got involved.

Johnny: She is close with Johnny. She develops feelings for him later on in the story.

Mary: With Mary Swift, the two have become the best of friends, becoming close with one another.

Cherry: She isn't that close with Cherry, but she finds it easy to talk with her.

Mickey: She is good friends with Mickey, finding they have a lot in common.

Bexley is another protagonist of the story.

She grows as a person, she becomes more mature by the time the story comes to a close.

She learns that the Socs also have their own issues just like the Greasers do, she heeds Johnny's wise words of to Stay Gold, or stay innocent and live her life to the fullest.

In my original take on my story, she is the one telling it and lives her life being the only girl in the Curtis household.
