Maggie heaved a heavy sigh as she sat down in her seat for her first class of freshman year. She didn't know anyone in her class and everyone stared at her like she was some kind of freak, even the greasers. She stared around the room at everyone. The only girls in her classes were either stuck up socs or slutty greasers, no girl like her was in sight. She was on her own.

She had received her class schedule when Dallas had taken her to school earlier. She found out she had only one class with Pony and one class with Johnny. She was not going to have a good year if she couldn't find someone to talk to in these stupid classes.

She averted all her attention to the front of the room as the teacher finally began to start class. Maggie sighed with relief when she realized the teacher wasn't going to introduce her to the rest of the class because she was new.

The rest of the day dragged on and Maggie was unable to find Pony and Johnny at lunch but instead got stuck sitting by herself at a table in the corner of the cafeteria, packing at her disgusting food. She gleamed with joy when the final bell rang and practically ran for the door.

When she finally reached her locker she skidded to a halt, almost knocking the person next to her down. After muttering a 'sorry' to the her she turned to her locker and began to work the lock. She fiddled with it for few minutes before finally getting it right except when she tried to open it, it was jammed. She groaned and pounded on it tiredly, it had been doing this all day and she could hardly take it anymore. She pounded on it with her fists some more, getting more and more angry with every single punch. Finally she sighed and looked down at her feet in agony.

She felt it but she couldn't see the hand that moved across her face and hit her locker with one solid punch. Her locker popped open immediately and Maggie's eyes shot up and behind her to the person who had just hit her locker. There he was. The same person she had met the night before. Curly. She smiled weakly at him. He returned her smile with an icy gaze just staring at her.

Finally after a few seconds he spoke. "I'll walk you out." he said before turning around, waiting for her to put her things in her locker. She threw her things in her locker not bothering to clean it up a bit and slammed it shut before turned back around to face Curly. She gave him a short nod and they began walking out. They walked in silence for a while, Maggie staring down at the ground and Curly puffing on a weed. Once they had gotten down the stairs Maggie looked around, trying to find Dally's car in all the mayhem of all the teenagers leaving.

Whey she finally caught sight of his car she also caught sight of him. He was standing next to his car, a blond headed greaser bimbo in front of him. She rolled her eyes and started walking towards his car, Curly still following beside her, puffing on a weed still. When she finally reached Dally's car she whirled around and stared at Curly.

He returned her stare with his own icy one. Finally, after a few minutes Maggie decided to talk.

"Thanks for walking me." she said quietly as she examined her feet. She could feel is gaze boring into her and she didn't want to look up, but she did it anyway.

He nodded to her shortly before putting out his weed. "I'll see ya round." he said before turning around and walking away. Maggie turned around again and faced Dally, who was now along leaning on his car with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Maggie stared at him, really not seeing what was wrong.

"What do you think your doing talkin' to Curly Shepard?" he asked in a dangerous voice. Maggie's eyes widened, she hadn't realized that Curly was Tim's little brother. "He's 16 for Christ's sakes Maggie! That's three years older then you." Dally said, his voice getting deeper and more dangerous with every word.

Maggie surprised herself when she didn't get angry but got annoyed.

She rolled her eyes to show it and walked swiftly over and got in the passenger seat. She waited for Dally to get in before she started talking.

"We were just talking Dally and really it wasn't even that. He just walked me to your car and helped my open my locker after school. You don't have to get all over protected on me. You sound like an older brother or something." she told him as she stared out the window. She could feel Dally scowl even though he wasn't looking at her. He didn't like people thinking that he cared. Even about the smallest thing. Maggie suppressed a sigh and finally relaxed into Dally's leather seats as he sped towards the Dingo, where they had decided earlier that morning they would meet with the whole gang to celebrate.

What they were celebrating Maggie had no idea, but she was open to the idea of getting to eat a nice juicy cheeseburger and French fries.

A few minutes later Dally parked next to Steve's car that was already sitting in the parking lot. She slide out of the passenger side and looked around before following Dally into the Dingo. Once inside they spotted the rest of the gang in the back sitting at a huge table. There were 2 spots open right next to each other for Maggie and Dally and they both took them. A waiter joined them shortly after and took everyone's order, looking over whelmed.

"So, what exactly are we celebrating here?" Maggie asked as she cocked an eyebrow and looked around at all of them.

"I dunno." Two Bit said and shrugged. The rest of the gang shrugged too and Maggie just nodded. They were celebrating for nothing.

"Well, I got a new girlfriend." Soda pipped up, making them all crack up. The thought of celebrating because Soda got a new girlfriend was greatly funny to all of them.

"And I got strait A's on my report card." Pony added as he took a big gulp of Coke.

"I didn't pull any muscles at work." Darry also added, starting a chain between all of them.

"I only got slapped by 2 blonde's last night when I went partying." Two Bit said, plastering a goofy grin on his face. Maggie chuckled along with the rest of the guys.

"Yeah, and I'm Elvis fucking Presley." Dally growled, obviously annoyed with the little game they had started playing. All eyes turned to Dally.

"What's up your ass, Dal?" Steve asked with a snarl. Maggie turned to Dally just in time to catch him glaring at her.

"He caught Curly walking me to his car this afternoon and got all mad." Maggie said with a shrug. All eyes shifted from Dally to Maggie.

"What were you doing with Curly Shepard?" Darry snarled at the mention of his name. Maggie shrugged and mad a face that clearly let them all know she was annoyed.

"He helped me with my locker is that a crime?" she snapped at all of them as she looked around the table, waiting for one of them to say something. They all just shifted uncomfortably and Dally grunted. Maggie turned and glared at him.

A few minutes later all thoughts were forgotten about the Curly conversation and everyone dug into their freshly cooked food instead. They all laughed at Steve and Two Bit who managed to get ketchup and mustard all over the fronts of their shirts and their mouths.

An hour later they were all relaxing in the Curtis family living room. They were all spread out on the couch or the floor, their stomach full. Maggie rubbed her temples at the sound of Two Bit's crazy laughter as Mickey did something stupid on the t.v. All his yelling and laughing was giving her a head ache, something she didn't need at the moment. Especially since Dally was still glaring at her ever so often.

"Hey!" Steve cried from the coffee table. "You cheated!"

"Did not!" Soda yelled back as he quickly hid another ace deep within his shoe.

"I just saw that Ace in your shoe, buddy." Steve said as he pointed to Soda's shoe. When Soda was playing poker had to be the only time when he actually did want to wear shoes.

A sly grin crept over Soda's face and he was unable to with hold his laughter in any more. Steve growled in anger and put his fish up on the table.

"Come on, let's go. Right now." he said as he pointed to his arm. Soda's face quickly turned serious as he stuck his arm up on the table and they began to arm wrestle. Maggie shook her head and rubbed her temples. This head ache was never going to get any better if she didn't get away from all this sound. Without a warning to anyone she hopped to her feet and walked outside, pulling her light blue shirt down as she went.

She breathed in the cold winter air as she sat down on the cracked concrete steps. She rested her elbows on her legs and then her chin on her elbows and stared out into nothingness. She breathed in deep a few more times and then closed her eyes. She loved the cool winter air it had to be one of her most favorite things.

She thought back to the first few days she had spent in the harsh winter season out on the street, trying to survive and feed herself. Those were some of the toughest times in her life and yet she still had the heart to enjoy winter. It was almost crazy.

She popped her eyes back open and straightened up as she looked up at the stars for a few seconds before she averted her eyes back to the road.

In the clear night she could make out a muscular tall figure making its way towards her, the glow of a weed coming from his lips. She squinted to see more clearly and a few seconds later figure out it was Curly. She looked back threw the window of the door to the house to make sure no one was watching her. After being satisfied that no one was she lifted her hand up and yelled out to him. His head snapped in her direction and then he changed courses, coming more towards her.

"What're you doing out so late in the cold with no jacket?" he asked as he undid the latch to the fence and sat down besides her.

"Trying to get away from all that noise." she explained as she pressed a thumb in the direction of the house. He nodded and took another puff of his weed before flicking it towards the ground. She watched him, waiting to see if he was going to get up and stomp on it. When he didn't she did it for him. She hated when people left them burning on the ground.

She sat back down after stomping it out and looked back towards him. His gaze was averted to the road and surrounding houses. He seemed like he was just staring to be looking anywhere but at her. They sat there in silence for what seemed like to Maggie forever before he finally spoke.

"Wanna go to the Double tomorrow night?" he asked, not even turning to look at her.

Maggie thought about it and questions began to swim in her mind. Why was he asking her? Did he just want something? Did he actually like her? Did he have other plans? Was he going to rap her?

Finally she put a halt to all the questions and stuttered out a yes. He nodded slowly before pushing himself off the steps.

"Pick you up tomorrow at 7:00 was all he said before disappearing into the darkness again. Maggie nodded slowly to herself. Now she was going to have to find something to wear and a way to keep Dallas off her back long enough for her to leave with Curly. She sighed heavily.

She wasn't going to get much sleep tonight!
