Disclaimer: I don't own the outsiders. And sadly i dont own Jess...technically Milo Ventimiglia does (if you don't know him maybe this might ring a bell: he played Jess on Gilmore Girls.) And i want to correct the disclaimer is chapter 2...I DON'T OWN JESS. Dallygally19 owns Callie...and i own everyone else that doesnt sound familiar to you.

Chapter 3:

"The Unexpected Meeting"

Nikolai's POV

The next morning I woke up at 11 AM, and neither Jensen nor Vinnie were inside our room. I did however find a note under the lamp again. It read as said:

Nikki

I took Vinnie for the day. We are both looking for the right job for me. Meet me back at the motel at 4:00PM sharp.

Jensen

I took a long shower and got dressed. I put the blade that Jess gave me in my pocket; I put the heater in my backpack. Hopefully I wouldn't need the gun today. By the time I left the house it was around 12:30. I didn't know where to wander around, so I walked up the street where the park was. I sat down on the swing and started reminiscing about my life back in Louisiana. My daydream was soon cut short when I heard a shriek from a girl. I got up from the swing, stunned from the noise and started to scan my surroundings.

I kept hearing voices, but I didn't know where they were coming from. I started to walk around. Maybe I would see who was making the noises. When I was at the corner of the block, I saw a girl surrounded by three guys. The girl was avoiding the boys as best as she could, but I could tell the guys were getting on her nerves.

"Get away from me!" The girl yelled as she tried to walk away, but one of the boys went in front of her.

"Wait baby, let's hang out a bit." The boy said grabbing onto the girl's arm. The girl struggled to get loose. She took a punch at the boy who just spoke to her, but he dodged it. Instead the boy took a punch at her and hit her on the chin. I heard a loud yelp and I knew I had to do something. Maybe she's also a Tiber Street Tiger gang member…

I ran towards the girl and flipped out my blade. The boy glared at me, and the two other boys started to surround me.

"Hey sweet thang, what brings you here?" One of the boys said.

I took my first punch but the boy stopped it. He squeezed my hand with all his might. I didn't know what to do so I grabbed my blade firmly and made a deep cut slash on his right cheek.

I approached the guy who took hold of the girl. He let the girl go free and charged at me leading his fist in my stomach. He blew a lot of air out of me, but I did my best to stand my ground. I flipped the blade back into my pocket and did my best to punch the guy who hit me. He grabbed both of my arms and held them behind my back. Luckily, the girl didn't leave me there to handle the three guys on my own. She punched the boy on the head, then he let me go.

"Thanks' I said trying to catch my breath. She looked at me and gave me half a smile. "What's your name?" I asked.

"Callie" She said and then took another swing to another of the three boys.

I kicked one of the boys in his private area, which made him crash to the ground. I spat at his face and then was about to continue to punch the other boys. Until one of the boys forced his knee on my back and then grabbed onto my arms. Callie was in trouble herself; the boy she was fighting pinned her to the ground. I thought this was going to be the end of me, when suddenly, the boy that was holding me let go and fell to the ground. I wrinkled my forehead and cocked an eyebrow. What the hell just happened?

I got my answer when someone grabbed onto my arm, I turned around; it was Jess.

"Jess!" I said cheerfully. He didn't say anything, he started to pull me down the block, but I stopped. "The girl, we have to help her!"

"No, we don't" Jess said ignorantly. I widened my eyes and stared at him with my big brown eyes. He rolled his eyes and ran back to the girl. I was close behind him. Jess took a punch to the guy's neck, which left the guy paralyzed a little bit. Callie got her chance and escaped. Then Jess started to pull me down the street again.

"What were you doing with her?" He asked with an annoyed voice in his tone.

"She was in trouble, I thought I would help her." I said innocently.

"She's not part of our gang. She should've called her own people." Jess said taking out a cigarette.

"Oh, I thought she was a Tiber Street Tiger…" I said aimlessly.

Jess looked at me and started to chuckle. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"You're the only girl in the Tiber Street Tigers" Jess said taking a long drag on his weed.

"Are you serious?" I asked astonishingly.

"Yeah, so far in the gang is: Me, Draco, Tony, Lance, Jensen, Vinnie, and you." Jess said smiling at me.

"Uh huh…and why haven't other girls joined, I wonder" I said crossing my arms.

"I don't know…but be assured that every guy in my gang as gone on a date several times. So we have all been associated with girls." Jess said.

"That's great though. More boys for me to flirt with." I said winking at Jess. He grinned at me, and then let out a sigh.

"So are you hungry?" He asked.

"I'm starving. I didn't eat breakfast this morning." I said rubbing my stomach.

"How can you miss breakfast? That's the most important meal of the day, young lady." Jess said with a serious tone in his voice, and wagging his finger at me. Then he cracked a smile.

"Very funny Jess…but I already get enough out of Jensen" I said. We passed Jays, which was awkward since I thought we were going to go inside.

"Jess, where are we going?" I asked curiously.

"Well you said you were hungry, right? So I'm taking you out to eat." Jess said giving me a smirk.

"Aww that's sweet. But isn't this like a date?" I asked cocking an eye brow.

"Yeah, you can think of it that way." He said smiling at me. I smiled back and then grabbed onto his arm and snuggled next to him.

We entered a place called 'The Dingo'. It reminded me of 'Jays', I'm still confused why we didn't just go there instead. Jess got us a booth and we sat across from each other.

"Hi, may I take your order?" The waitress asked.

"Yeah, can I have umm a cheeseburger, a hot dog, a pizza, some fries, a coke, and a salad" I said handing the lady my menu.

"You sure eat a lot" Jess teased. I gave him a sarcastic smile, than he ordered half of what I wanted. After our food arrived we both started to pig out.

I ate the cheeseburger, the hot dog, and the fries, and I was half way done with my pizza. While eating, Jess started to explain to me the rules and regulations of the Tiber Street Tigers. Then, we were rudely interrupted by some guy with his hair greased back and wearing a black t-shirt.

"Were you the one who helped my girl fight those Socs?" The guy asked.

"What are Socs?" I asked looking at the guy.

"Leave us alone Tim" Jess ignorantly looking the other way.

"Socs are the three boys you slugged with Callie" the boy, who Jess called Tim, said. I mouthed out an 'oh' and turned back to face Jess.

"Oh, how's Callie doing?" I turned swiftly before Tim was about to leave. Tim then signaled to someone, which was Callie. They sat down at our booth.

"Hey Callie" I said cheerfully.

"C'mon Nikki, let's go somewhere else" Jess said getting out of the booth.

"Oh, so that's your name…" Callie said tapping her index finger on her chin.

"My real name is Nikolai"

"Nice to meet ya" Callie smiled.

"Nikki, let's go somewhere else. Where there are no annoyances." Jess said irritatingly.

"The only annoyance thing around here, is you're complaining, Jess" Tim said glaring at my gang leader.

"Let's go Nikki" Jess said pulling me. I waved to Tim and Callie before I left.

"What happened back there? They just wanted to talk to us" I said naively.

"Nikki, they aren't part of us. They are lower then us." Jess said.

"We're all greasers! Doesn't that matter…" I said

"It's hard to explain it, but each gang tries to keep away from other gangs." Jess said, "For example, do you see the Tim Shepherd gang and the River Kings hanging out together?"

"I don't know who either of those gangs are, so I wouldn't know." I said scratching my head in confusion.

Jess smiled at me and then stopped walking. "You aren't like any other girl I've ever met…you seem so innocent, but from what Jensen says you're a real wild child."

"That's an easy one Jess. I'm just one of a kind" I grinned. He grinned too and then leaned closer to me, before I knew it our lips were pressed against each others. We were making out for a couple of minutes, but then I backed away.

"I gotta get going. Jensen told me to meet him at the motel at 4." I said.

"Alright, see ya around" Jess said, and gave me on quick kiss on the cheek.

I checked the time; it was 3:55PM. I have to be back at the motel at 4 sharp! I'm going to be late! I ran as quickly as I could to the motel. Luckily, I made it around 4:05, and Jensen wasn't mad.

"I got a job" he said

"Awesome! Where?"

"At someplace called 'The Dingo'"

"Oh really? That's cool." I gulped. I hope Jensen didn't see me and Jess together. I wonder how he would take it when I tell him I think I really like our gang leader.

After a few minutes of silence I decided to bring Jess up. "Hey Jensen, what do you think of Jess?" I asked.

"He's an okay guy I guess"

"You think I'd ever go out with anyone from the Tiber Street Tigers?" I asked. I said 'anyone' but I really meant Jess.

"Yeah, maybe" Jensen said, I cheered up and began to smile. "But I would really appreciate it if you picked any guy except for Jess." My smiled faded.

"Uhh why?" I asked curiously

"'Cause he's like a hood; I don't want you to be in love with a guy like him, he'll get you into a lot of trouble, understand?"

I nodded my head. Maybe Jensen should see the other side of Jess. He's not much of a hood if you get to know him better.
