Chapter three

"Soda! Steve! Haven't seen you in so long!" A boy with a Mickey Mouse shirt on exclaimed as we walked in.

"Yeah a whole minute, Two-Bit" Soda chuckled. "Well everybody this is Tia" Soda announced to Two-Bit and two other boys. "Tia the one with the black hair is Johnny" Soda said pointing out the shy looking boy, "And blondy is Dally" Soda pointed over to Dally. I smiled at both of them. Johnny returned my smile but Dally definitely didn't.

"So what have we got planned for today?" Two-Bit asked standing up.

"Well I thought we could show Tia around and we could introduce her to a couple of people" Soda explained to Two-Bit. Two-Bit grinned while looking at me up and down,

"I'm sure we could get to know each other better" I smiled slightly,

"I don't sleep with Mickey Mouse fans" Two-Bit laughed and slung an arm around my shoulder,

"I like her! Now let's get started!"

"You guys coming?" Addressing Pony, Dally and Johnny.

"Naw Sylvia and me are supposed to be doing something today"

"Me and Johnny are coming" Pony replied standing up with Johnny. And with that we set off to have my tour of Tulsa. I wasn't really comfortable with the guys but as the day wore on I began to trust them a little more. By the time the day had finished I knew a couple more people, a couple more places and the stupid segregation of the two sides. As soon as I entered the house Mom was all over me,

"How was it? Did you meet more people? See more places? Do you like the boys? Have you taken a fancy to anyone?"

"Mom! One question at a time please!"

"Have you taken a fancy to anyone?"

"Mom! Maybe" I grinned mischievously. I had actually found one guy but I wasn't ready quite yet. Mom's face lit up,

"Tell me all about him!"

"Well he is rather handsome and his name is Tim. That is all I have to tell. And I did meet more people and found more places and can you believe that they have segregation here?"

"Yes unfortunately I do. Don't worry your pretty little head over it though. So what else?"

"Nothing else Mom. I'm going to bed now I'm kind of tired"

"It's only eight and you haven't had dinner yet!" "I had dinner with the boys and I am really tired, sorry. Good night"

"Are you sure you are alright, Tia?" My mother asked concerned. I plastered a fake smile onto my face and nodded before disappearing into my room.

NEXT DAY

I awoke to the sound of my alarm going off. I groaned, school today. I really didn't feel like going but I knew Mom wouldn't let me get the day off. Slowly I pulled myself out of bed and went through my normal daily routine. Mom had breakfast all ready for me,

"Morning sunshine! Pony has offered to come around and walk with you to school. Wasn't that nice of him?" I smiled I suppose it was. I ate my breakfast silently as my mother started babbling on about how nice it was here. She obviously hasn't opened her eyes yet because this place was not, by a long shot, a nice place.

"Have to go to school now, bye Mom" I said as I heard a knock on the front door.

"Have fun, Tia!" I smiled and walked towards the door. Not only was Ponyboy there but so was Steve and Two-Bit.

"Why hello there young Madame! We are here to escort you to the place that you will love the most around here" I smiled at Two-Bit before closing the door behind me.

"Do you talk much, Tia?" Steve asked kind of coldly. I looked at him, glaring,

"When I feel like it, yes I do" Steve kind of backed off after that. Believe me you do not want to hurt me or get me upset because I could get real bitchy. The walk to school was rather amusing because Two-Bit was the only one talking. In about ten minutes we were walking through the gates of the school and I was feeling real nervous. I didn't want to be here. I wish I didn't have to run because then I wouldn't be here.

"Are you alright, Tia? You look a bit pale" Pony pointed out quietly. I swallowed and nodded,

"Just nervous. Do I just go there?" I asked pointing to the most flash building in the school. Pony nodded,

"Don't worry, it isn't as scary when you get started" I smiled, that didn't calm me down but I could get through it. I have been through worse. Slowly I walked towards the building and opened the big glass doors. I walked over to the desk and waited for assistance.

"Hello. How can I help you?" A lady with too much perfume and make up on asked me

"I am a new student and I need my schedule"

"Oh sure. What is your name?"

"Tia Green" The lady chewed on her gum as she looked through some papers and finally producing my schedule,

"There we go! Enjoy your first day at Tulsa High!" I raised my eyebrows before leaving the building in search of room 7b. It took me five minutes to find it and the bell had just rung so I was pretty good on time. I looked around at the unfamiliar faces and realised a split in the groups. The Socs and Greasers groups were quite prominent in this class. I sat down the back on the Greaser side by myself. A girl walked in and sat down next to me. She had dirty blonde hair; cold blue eyes and a tad too much make up on.

"Hey I'm Sylvia"

"Tia" I replied looking down at my desk.

"First day huh? Oh you're that chick! Dally said you moved in to the house next to the Curtis's?"

"Yeah that's me"

"Thought you would be hotter because the way he was talking about you I thought I would have had to bash your head in" I looked alarmed at this comment, but she laughed so I guessed she wasn't going to bash my head in.

"Don't worry, I won't bash your head in until either he makes a move or you make a move. Just stay away from him and you will be fine" I didn't like Sylvia at all but I nodded all the same. When the bell rang for interval Sylvia invited me over to her group of friends but I shook my head,

"I planned to meet Two-Bit, sorry" Although I wasn't, Sylvia could talk for days and when she chewed her gum you could hear it a mile away. Everything about her annoyed me so much. Sylvia shrugged,

"Your loss. Just remember what I said about Dally, alright?"

"He ain't my type, Sylvia. Bye" I then quickly walked away from her. If all the girls around here were like that well looks like I'm going to have to hang around with the gang.
