Hey! Sorry I took so long…I've posted some new stories recently, if you want to check them out… Anyway, here's chapter two!

Two-bit and I walked through the halls and everyone was pointing at me and laughing. I knew it wasn't true, that I was just being paranoid. No one would ever bother me in front of Two-bit. He walked me to my first class and then left. I went and sat down

"Hey, baby." Rick Jamals said walking by me. Rick was a greaser, a Brumly Boy. I knew his gang leader had worked him over in the past for making fun of me when Darry told him. Our gangs were allies. But that never stopped Rick or his crones behind him, laughing, from making fun of me. I just looked down. When they first began to make fun of me, I don't even remember why anywhere, I cried all the time, hell, I still did. So I got the nickname "baby".

"Oooo, is the wittle baby gonna cry now?" Rick's friend, Joe, said in a baby voice.

"I think she is!" Ben, another one, said. I just continued to look down, with tears, no doubt, in my eyes. I cursed myself, inwardly. Why did I have to be so damn weak! Thankfully, the teacher walked in. Everyone sat down and the class began.

When the bell rang, I went to my locker. There, the same group of guys came and stood in front of me.

"Did you see her?" Rick was saying. "She was crying!"

"AGAIN!" Ben added.

"And look!" Said Joe. "She's about to cry again!"

"I know who's gonna cry, if you don't get the fuck out of here." A familiar voice growled. I sighed in relief. That was Steve's voice. The boys looked and him and left. Steve came to me and put an arm around me.

"You okay, kid?" I started to nod my head, yes, but I couldn't control the tears that began to fall. Steve immediately pulled me into a hug, and then hurried me outside so that no one would see. I don't know how long we stood there, me crying, but it was no different then any other day.

Well? Good? Bad? Yes? No? Black? White? Or red…? I like red better… Haha, anyway what'd you think? Please review! And thank you to all my reviewers! Sorry I'm not thanking you all individually, but I just really wanna get the story up.
