***A/N: Okay all thanks for the reviews, I fixed up the last chap cuz I
thought it was pretty corny, and it still is, but hey, I tried, and I'm
open to any suggestions you all might have. And yes I did take the Mary-
Sue test, and I'm borderline, jus sayin. And that's only cuz my trademark
is crazy boyish names, but I'm not bitter, this story has to be halfway
decent or you all might not have reviewed. So thanks a lot, and I'll try
to make this chap less corny.***
A bright eyed Dally stared down at Zelda the instant she opened her eyes. She coiled and regained her headache. It soothed once she heard the country music in the next room. They were having a party? That would explain Dally's eyes. "So what's this I hear you did to my man Steve?" he asked.
"He deserved it, just be glad it wasn't you." Zelda rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.
"He didn't deserve it you led him on!" She heard Johnny pipe up.
"Shut it kid. You may have saved my ass a couple times, but now is not the time to argue with me. I've got a killer headache and in the meanwhile Darry Curtis is parading around with my sister. Plus I didn't lead him on, the kid was crushing on me. He took advantage."
"C'mon, he's Grease, he's gonna take all he can get," Dally said with a laugh.
"Well he picked the wrong chick, and don't you say anything over there small fry."
"Well," Dally said, "Those are big words for a little lady."
"Aww, shut it." Zelda said and fell back to sleep, thinking of a plan.
She woke up a good day later, recovered to say the least. She healed faster than any of the boy thought she would, and was out kicking around. Johnny, the small brown haired, dark eyed kid always shied away from her whenever she was up and about. Zelda never minded, she needed the peace and quiet to think of a plan to get back to her place, and get even with her sister. Well not so much Vonn, but more Darry, since he was the reason Vonn was turning against her.
Slowly the days passed, on one ever kept much record of the days, school could be over by now. Zelda was sitting, curled up on the sofa, almost invisible when Johnny came in. He was cute, especially the way he walked, like a hood. He didn't like Zelda too much anymore, not after the Steve incident, he never stalked her, and never talked to her. He surprised Zelda when he sat down almost next to her. "I've been thinking about you for a couple days now," he said.
Zelda tried not to laugh, was he trying to pick her up? "Is that so?"
He grinned after realizing what he had just said, and blushed a deep red. "Well, I'm the only one around here who really knows what is going on between you and Darry, and even I don't understand. Girls are so complicated."
Zelda laughed brightly. "Just girls who are too fake to know themselves or ones who are trying to forget everything to live better."
"And which are you?" He asked plainly.
"The latter."
"Yeah what's your story?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you, I'm trying to forget, remember. Plus, it's classified information."
"Really?"
"Yeah, what's your story, how come everyone thinks you're dead?"
"I asked you a question first."
"Fine, I'll tell you everything I think I can legally, how's that?"
"Good enough for me, so long as I get an explanation."
Zelda cracked a grin and shook her head. "Well, let's see, it started all way back in Maine, a long long time ago."
"In a galaxy far far away?" Dally guessed walking through, and stopping, but upon realizing Zelda and Johnny were conversing continued on his merry way.
Both kids grinned and look away. "Well it seems like a long time ago. Me and Yvonne, we were pretty normal kids, not to rich, not to poor. Never complained much, and stuck together, basically cuz we didn't have any friends elsewhere. Our parents well, they were a different breed. In and out of jail so often we lost count and Yvonne and me kinda raised ourselves to be good kids. It was a stretch given our name and family history. Murphy is a big mafia name up in Boston." Zelda explained and he nodded. "No one ever really liked us cuz we were tough kids. You have to be tough to stay alive in the mob, its kinda like livin down here. People tried to toy with us, but me and Yvonne, we don't put up with any shit and trashed 'em, so we kinda made a name for ourselves up there. We took on the whole football team once, they thought we were insane, oh, those were good times."
Zelda took a breath, "And then our parents went to jail for the last time, so it seemed. They were smuggling basically, for the mob, cuz no one cares what goes and comes from Maine, so they were pretty good. But they got busted pretty good, but didn't have the evidence, or witnesses to keep 'em in for a long while, me and Vonn, we don't really care bout what they do, so we were useless. Up until the government decided to ransom us for information. Little do they know how much our parents don't care about us. So they sent us to a safe house in Philly.
"It was pretty chill up until Yvonne met that Tyler kid, he creeped me way out, he was the head of his gang or whatever, and he had it in for Vonn, cuz she is one hot ticket. Well the gang was mad sketchy and I told her I was all against it but she made me go with her. Well we didn't make it to the gang meeting. He stopped us in the ghetto, under the highway and tried his way with her, some thugs held me up, but they lost interest in me, cuz I'm just a kid yanno. So I dove right onto him, stole his blade and nearly killed him, but I got him off of Vonn, which was the only thing she really wanted at the time. We got hauled in, I had put the kid in a coma.
"The government had to move us after that cuz the gang jumped us evreywhere we went, like they had staked out the safehouse, so they decided it wasn;t safe, and were all about splitting us up, so we didn't cause so much trouble, well, I rioted, and so did Vonn, and they decided to keep us down here, until our parents try to get us back, which they won't. Out of sight out of mind they say."
Johnny's eyes were locked onto Zelda's somber ones. "So what's your story?" She asked with a sigh.
"Not nearly as complicated as yours."
A bright eyed Dally stared down at Zelda the instant she opened her eyes. She coiled and regained her headache. It soothed once she heard the country music in the next room. They were having a party? That would explain Dally's eyes. "So what's this I hear you did to my man Steve?" he asked.
