Chapter 1: New Places

I couldn't believe all the things I owned when I looked at my bags of stuff. There were about six huge bags piled in the living room. I was going to visit my Aunt Tammy over on the East Side of town. You see, I was a Soc and we lived on the West Side or the so called "Rich Side." I wasn't like other Socs. I didn't make fun of the Greasers. (Who were the ones who lived on the East Side.) Socs tend to think there so much better but really we're just as good as they are.

That's the reason I'm visiting my Aunt Tammy. I need to get away from this rich Soc life for awhile. My Aunt Tammy is a little crazy. I haven't seen her since I was ten but my mom tells me how crazy she is. My mom and dad aren't that happy that I'm gonna stay with my Aunt but its something I have to do.

My parents would tell me "You're only fifteen, Jenny! Going to live with that crazy woman in that trashy place is nonsense!"

I looked over my bags one more time. Everything was there. My mother and father walked into the room. My mother's eyes looked like they were on fire. She was really mad at me. She somehow put on a smile and touched my face.

"My sweet Jenny-pie, you can change you're mind right now and we can unpack all your things. I'll do it all for you." My mother said softly.

I grabbed my mother's hand off my face and held on to it. "Mom, I'll be fine. I wanna see whats out there." I said almost pleading.

My mother rolled her eyes and let go of my hand. My father had a mad look on his as well. He picked up three of my bigger bags and my mother and I handled the rest. I was going to a place that would change my life forever.
