Summary: Johnny's cousin comes to live with him. A/n: Thoughts are in * * ok! Please review! It was short because it was the start!!!! Ok!
Chapter two (Jessica)
I followed my cousin, Johnny out of the house and over to a park. I felt very awkward but I did not like the feel of the house that much. Johnny's Dad seemed a bit like my own Dad, I hope he did not abuse Johnny. Johnny looked like a sweet guy who does not deserve to be abused. We sat on the side of the fountain,
"Jessica before we go back I should warn you-" I cut him off knowing exactly what he was going to say.
"It must run in the family, my father abused me as well" Johnny looked shocked but he did not have much time to recover because a group of boys came over.
"Who's this?" One boy with long rusty side burns asked.
"Jessica, my cousin" Johnny said looking away from me. I looked up at the group and I started to feel uncomfortable. These were al tough guys and they were staring at me.
"So another greaser?" A boy who looked about my age asked.
"No, I don't think so, Pony"
"What is a greaser?" I asked quietly.
"A person who lives on the wrong side of town and really has no future and comes from a bad family. We're all greasers" I looked away. *Oh so now I am not like them* I stood up feeling embarrassed,
"See you at home" I said to Johnny and then walked away. I walked around town until it started to get dark. I walked into the house to see Johnny home already and he had a swelling around his eye.
"Johnny! What happened?" I asked rushing over to him. Johnny looked away and I could see Mr. Cade advancing on me,
"It is your first night and you have already gone off by yourself! We have been worried sick!" I stayed silent knowing that if I said anything I would get hit.
"Johnny got his punishment now it is time for yours. Since you are new here and you did not know the rule you can just stay in your room for the whole night. No tea or anything" I nodded and walked over to my bedroom, closing the door behind me. I finished off my book in half an hour so cautiously I came out and walked into the living room.
"Can I please go to the library to get a book and a card?" Uncle Greg looked furious.
"You want to have permission to go to the library!" He spat library as if it was something deadly.
"You are only new here but didn't your father keep you from going there! You will just turn into a brain! No you may not!" Uncle Greg got up and pushed my against the wall, pressing his ugly face right against mine,
"You stay in your room and never ask that question again!" I looked at him and I knew I was going to start crying soon. I hated people being angry with me. Uncle Greg let go of me and I walked to my room and shut the door. Johnny had gone to his friend's house so I had absolutely nothing to do. I changed into a silk shirt and boxers and crawled into my bed. I soon fell asleep, not wanting to go to school tomorrow.
"Jessica. Time to get up" Johnny shook me awake. I groaned and then opened my eyes. Johnny smiled and then silently left the room. I grabbed my clothes and had a quick shower. I emerged feeling a bit better. I walked into the kitchen and found a bag on the counter. Johnny offered me some toast, which I refused.
"That bag is yours. I packed it for you" Johnny explained. I smiled,
"Thanks" I said and slung it onto my back.
"Are th-they still here?" I whispered. Johnny shook his head,
"They both leave at six in the morning, do not worry" I smiled relieved.
"They didn't do anything to you last night?" I shook my head.
"Is the school far from here?"
"No. You just go down the road to Yates Road and it is there. I will walk with you if you want"
"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to embarrass you" I said and walked out of the house before Johnny could answer.
I arrived at the school in ten minutes. I walked over to the office and I grabbed my schedule. Here they had all the core classes in the same room and then the option classes in other rooms. Uncle Greg had chosen Home Economics and Sewing. I hated them both but I suppose I had to put up with them. I walked into the classroom late. My teacher looked up and smiled kindly,
"You must be Jessica Cade" I nodded.
"Why don't you take a seat? We are doing maths" I nodded and sat down the back a couple of seats away from everyone. We were halfway through the maths lesson when a trashy (in my opinion) girl walked in.
"Late as usual, Rita"
"You know it!" She grinned. Obviously I had done something wrong because everyone was staring at me. Rita came down and sneered,
"You are in my seat"
"Oh sorry" I said moving "I did not know"
"Oh trying to get smart now?" I frowned because I wasn't trying to get smart. I sat down and realised I was next to Ponyboy,
"Hey" He said quietly. I nodded and went back to working out the circumference of the circle.
The bell rang for recess just as I finished off my sentence for History. I gathered up my items and then walked out of the classroom.
"Jessica is it? Why don't you come with me and my friends here" I looked up to see a girl with long brown hair and she was wearing a blue blouse and a pink skirt. I shrugged and followed the girl over to the backfield and sat down next to her.
"My name is Christy. Sorry about Rita, she is always a drama queen" I smiled slightly and listened to the girls talk for a little while.
"Hey Christy" A boy with black hair and bright blue eyes came up behind Christy and pulled her into a hug. Christy giggled and kissed the boy.
"Paul this is Jessica. Jessica this is Paul" I nodded slightly and he just looked me up and down.
"Nope not as cute as you Christy" Christy giggled again which made me kind of sick.
"Why are you wearing pants?" One of Paul's friends asked.
"I like them more than skirts" I answered quietly. The boys sniggered at this. I stood up with my bag,
"I am sorry to disappoint you but I am not as judgmental as you are so I think I might just go to the library"
"Why'd you pick a library geek?" I heard Paul ask Christy as I walked away. That last comment stung but I was not going to give them the satisfaction of crying.
"I see you have met the Socs," One of Johnny's friends said. I nodded,
"Did you hate them?"
"I hated them more than life itself and that is saying something"
"I'm Two-Bit by the way" I nodded,
"Do you ever smile?"
"Only when there is a reason to smile. I must get going. See you around sometime maybe"
