Chapter 1:
A Stranger in the Hood
Arianna's POV
The memory of Okalahoma was a faded memory in the back of my mind. It had been a year since the last time I visited Keith…I mean Two-Bit. The day my mom picked me up from Tulsa was still fresh in my mind. People think me forgetting my visit to Tulsa in a year is peculiar, but some people don't get that I usually forget things in three days time.
I remember leaving Tulsa in a cab though, and my mother sitting next to me, looking more serious then ever. I was crying my heart out for leaving my favorite cousin, my first love, and my two best friends. I didn't speak to anyone from my hometown in three days. Not even my best friends. I called Two-Bit everyday after I left Tulsa, until I started school.
I became fully dedicated to my school work. I was put in AP classes and I barely spoke on the phone in the weekdays. Except whenever Friday came, me and my friends would go out finding a party to crash. After five months of living in Chicago again I realized I wasn't as much of a Ryker (my gang at my hometown). I left my membership as a Ryker and spent more time with my friends at school.
At my school I dated a selection of guys. Okay, you guys are probably thinking I'm a hoe right about now, but I wanted to try a variety of guys…okay that didn't come out like I wanted it too, but oh well…
The time came when it was a hot August day in Chicago. I was sweating bullets in my room, since my fan was busted. My mother came into my room while I was talking on the phone with my friend, and mind you, it was a very important phone call. My mother persuaded me to get out of Chicago and visit my cousin again. I whined at the idea of packing and going on a train, even though it wouldn't be so bad seeing Keith again. (I've lost interest in saying Two-Bit, so I call him by his first name now.)
I didn't even get a chance to talk my mom out of sending me to Tulsa. She took out my backpack and left my room. I got off the phone and started to pack my belongings. After about two hours of packing (I didn't know what to bring at first, the heat was getting to me.) I looked through my drawers and cabinets to see if I was missing anything, then I came across the red handled switch blade Keith had given me two summers before. That's when I checked my arm and saw the slash marks I had gotten the last time I went to Tusla.
-Flash back-
The guy, who was fighting me, got a bottle and busted the end. I gulped and tried to watch his every move. I backed up and tried not to trip over the trash lying around, he was pointing the bottle at my face. I stepped on a box of popcorn, than I looked down. That was the stupidest mistake I think I ever did. He forced the bottle on my shoulder and slid it down my arm, I think he was aiming for my face but since I stumbled he missed. I yelped and fell on the ground; I was looking at the blood gushing out from my arm.
"Shit! Look what you did you fucking bastard!" I was raging with anger. My arm will have slash marks later on.
-End of Flash Back-
I shuddered at the thought of that happening again. I don't even think I can defend myself with a blade or my bare fists anymore. I packed the blade at the bottom of my bag, just in case Keith wants it back. Before zipping up my backpack, I got a good glance of a picture of me and Keith when we were younger, we were (and I saw were with a lot of enthusiasm) very attached to each other, until now I suppose.
Five days have passed since my acknowledgment of going to Tulsa. My parents both dropped me off at the train station, and from there I had to get my ticket and board the train. I didn't bother to call Keith about my arrival, I'll just surprise him. I checked the time, it was 12 noon. I still had a while before I arrived at Tulsa.
Two-Bit's POV
I was at the DX with Soda, Steve, and Ashley; I was doing my usual drinking beer till I drop thing, when Nicole came running towards us. (I'm surprised I noticed it was her since my vision became a bit blurry.)
"Guys, Dally needs our help!" She said worriedly.
"Dally, in trouble? I'm surprised he's asking for help…" Soda said shining a car's window.
"He isn't, but he might need the help." Nicole said breathing heavily.
"Who's fighting him?" I asked.
"Moody"
"That guy has been nothing but trouble since the first day he moved here." Ashley said taking a sip out of her Coke can.
"Yeah which was three months ago. Dally and Moody sure hate each other." Soda said.
"They're both hard headed." Steve said grabbing the pump to put gasoline in a Soc's car.
"How about you do your job greaser" The male Soc scolded Steve.
"Yeah yeah, shut up" I heard Steve mutter.
"Well, are you guys coming or not?" Nicole said sounding aggravated.
"Yeah, I'll go!" Ashley said running up to Nicole.
"Me too" I said walking as straight as I possibly could. I shouldn't have drank so much booze…oh well.
"I better go along too. With Ashley being the youngest and Two-Bit being hammered, Dally won't get much help." Soda said throwing his hand towel behind him. "Steve, I'll be right back, you think you can take my spot for awhile."
"Sure, but don't take long. You know the boss likes to check up on us at times." Steve said receiving the money from the Soc.
"Alright, let's go!" Nicole yelled and then ran down the block with Ashley, Soda, and me following close behind her. I tried my best not to run into anything, but I couldn't help zig-zagging while I ran.
"Are you going to be okay, Two-Bit?" Soda asked slapping my back.
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
Arianna's POV
The train got to its last stop and everyone evacuated from the freights. I dragged my bag out of the train station and into the sidewalk. I remembered where to go, but I was just too lazy to take another step, so I stood in front of the train station for three minutes then I began to walk again.
Thirty minutes have passed and I was still walking. Actually, I was lost….but I kept on walking. Then I heard something from around the block.
"Geez, Where is this fight going on at, Oklahoma City?" I heard a weary voice call out. The voice sounded familiar, so I ran to where it was coming from. Then right in a flash I saw Keith and his friends race right in front of me.
Didn't they see me? "Hey Keith" I yelled, but they still didn't turn around. I whistled loudly and they all stopped. "Keith!" I shouted one more time. Then seconds later they were trying to find where the noise was coming from.
"Turn around you idiots." I mumbled.
Then as if he read my mind, Keith swerved around and had the biggest grin on his face. He pointed at me and then they all came running towards me. I started to step backwards afraid they were going to trample me. Once they were three feet away from me, they all jumped and made a dog pile, with me being the base….They all got up and Keith immediately hugged me squeezing the life out of me.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Keith said, still not letting me go.
"I wanted it to be a surprise." I said gasping for air.
"Hey, C'mon Two-Bit, give other people a chance to hug her." Soda said shoving Keith off of me. Then Soda wrapped his arms around me and then started to kiss me. Something was the matter with me, 'cause I didn't have fire works popping through my head when I was with Soda. Maybe it was the heat…so I shoved Soda and stepped backwards. He gave me a perplexed look and then smiled.
"Dally's in trouble, you wanna help us out here?" Nicole said impatiently.
"Nicki!" I squealed and then gave her a hug. She put a smile on her face and hugged me back.
She let go and then said, "Alright, let's go!" while she jogged down the block. We all started to run down the block with her. I was having a hard time running since I was dragging my bag.
"Here, let me help you." Soda said grabbing my bag. I smiled and then ran next to Keith. We ran what felt like miles, until we reached a park that I never seen before in my whole life that I visited Tulsa.
"Where are we?" I asked to no in particular.
"Some downtown park" Nicole replied.
"And you know about this park, how?" I asked naively.
"Dal and I were walking around, after we left Bucks today and- - " Nicole began while scanning the park, but was cut off.
"And what were you doing with Dally at Bucks this early?" Soda asked suspiciously
"Let her continue" I said hitting Soda playfully on his arm.
"So then we were walking through the park's garden area, when Moody- - "
"Wait, who's Moody?" I interrupted
"Let her continue" Soda said mockingly. I gave him a sarcastic smirk and then looked at Nicole for an answer.
"The devil's assistant" Nicole said ignorantly.
"Some new guy who always picks fights with people" Keith filled in.
"He especially picks fights with Dallas!" Nicole said aloud angrily.
Everyone stayed shut and searched the entire park area. "Nicki, don't you remember where they were last?" Ashley said sitting down at a park bench.
"They seemed to have moved from their last spot." Nicole said looking around frantically.
"Hey, over here" Soda yelled running into a basketball court. We all ran into the court and were greeted with loud cusses. Dally was pounding another kid with short brown hair. I have never seen this boy before, and by what Nicole said, his name is Moody, and he's a real pain in the ass.
Keith immediately ran to help out Dallas; Soda dropped my bag and did the same. Dally told them to 'fuck off' but my cousin and his friend still didn't go away. The fight was getting intense, there were no blood stains on the floor, but the sound of fists hitting skin wasn't a pleasant sound. Then, people who seemed to be on Moody's side, came into the fight as well. Soda and Keith were bruised pretty badly, so Nicole and Ashley decided to join in. When they noticed I wasn't running along with them they turned around.
"Aren't you gonna come Ari?" Nicole asked.
"I…I forgot- -" I began but then I thought how humiliated I would be if I told them I forgot how to fight. "I forgot to where the right clothing for a fight." I didn't think wearing a black jumpsuit wasn't so bad for a fight, but I needed an excuse.
"It's fine, now come on!" Nicki said.
"I don't have a- -" I began but was cut off
"Here's a blade" Ashley said taking out a knife from her back pocket. It was as if she read my mind for my next excuse.
Oh god…now I really have to go into the fight. I walked slowly while Ashley and Nicole ran. I'm walking into my own death! I grabbed the blade in so many different angles that I was worried that if I didn't pick the right position, I was going to I get stabbed. When I saw a shadow cast upon me I lifted my head, and covered the sun's rays with the back of my hand to see the person's face.
Once the guy saw the blade in my hand he knew it meant I was going to fight, so he immediately punched my in the ribs, and I yelped with pain. I was already trembling; I knew my old gang-ist self wouldn't take that, she'd probably stab that guy 50 times. But guess what self...I changed! (A/N: she's talking to herself) While I spoke to myself the guy was going to go for another swing, but thankfully, Soda fiercely pushed him to the ground. My eyes widened and I started to walk away from there.
I had no idea where to go. If I left the basketball court they would all think I was a scaredy cat, so I tried to stay in the fight, but not really hit anyone. Then I accidentally collided with another guy. He pushed me, and I started to walk backwards, until I backed onto the guy Dally was fighting. I looked at him with my shaky eyes and he just stared at me. I wondered if he knew I was frightened…
My thought soon was over when I saw the other guy that I bumped into, hasting towards me. My first reaction was to drop the blade, which I did. Then I crossed my arms, in a blocking position, in front of my face, and shut my eyes. Then I heard a voice say, "Don't touch her, she's doesn't seem to be any harm." I opened my eyes and saw Moody grabbing the guy, who was hurdling towards me, by his shirt.
"Arianna, c'mon" I heard Keith yell from the entrance of the basketball court. I picked up the blade and ran as fast as I could to where everyone else was, which was where Keith was.
"Are you okay?" Soda asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said grabbing my backpack that Soda threw on the ground. Then I turned around to look at Moody, who was sitting down on the ground rubbing his sore face.
